Entries from July 2008
Berlin is amazing and covered head to toe in graffiti and other art. I had a blast there this past week and loved that it still has that raw and free feeling that Barcelona has long since forgotten about…
Biggest thanks goes to Rubin for supporting and rocking out in Berlin this past week.
Came flying into town and of course spent a large portion of my time crawling around in dirty abandoned places. Just like I like it. Sorry for the shitty photo of this one.
Rubin doing what he does
More posts from Berlin coming soon… just waiting for some photos from a friend first.

Just updated with a few things in nearly all sections on ripovisuals.com. Go enjoy!
Meanwhile I’m off to Berlin to go paint and get to know the city for a week. I’m gonna enjoy!

One from the archives. Having fun at Monster Island in Brooklyn, NY with the biggest thanks going out to my friend Maya Hayuk and the invention of extension poles.

I took a nice trip to the mountains today
Then I found an abandoned hotel. It had a wall.
And I had paint. The idea of working on a creepy old hotel brought one thing to mind…
This could either be a reference to a certain movie or it even looks like it could be an ad for a rum company…
But I will tell you that painting on that raw cement was murder!

Just had this interview posted on BCN Style. It’s a great new blog organized and updated by Barcelona’s Finest… Vandals that is. Check out the interview and the site. You’ll get a good idea of what’s going on in this city nowadays, and it ain’t so pretty…

Went out to Badalona (a city right near Barcelona) for the first time today.
It’s not as Bad as it sounds.
It also looks like a city whose streets I need to get busy in…
While I was there I started painting at the Galeria badiu92
Some people had cameras. I prefer to stay behind the cameras. Sometimes right behind them.
A big eye by Jorge Rodriguez Gerada. Taken from a drawing he had done on the now-torn-down building from across the street.
A small section of the wall that got in the way of my paint.

Words are one things, stories are another.
I have just uploaded a “hidden” section of my short stories to my website. Currently there’s only one story on there (involving a prison in Mexico) but it’ll soon be updated with more. But I’m not telling where it is. Looking at the work on my page you’ll find one painting that links up perfectly with the Art of Storytelling. So Where’s the Story? Use your common sense and email me when you find it. Or if you really can’t find it email me as well, I might give hints.
