Fuck the Police, Again!

September 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

More run ins with authority figures, this time in Brussels, Belgium. After painting on Saturday in Amsterdam with some friends from No New Enemies I rushed down to Brussels on Sunday to meet up and paint  with Roa. We went out evening time to what seemed to be a chill spot. Literally 10 minutes before finishing the piece the po-po showed up. One of them was saying how beautiful he thought our work was while the other was saying that it didn’t matter and they had to bring us in. After calling the city to find out if we could paint there or not and arguing between themselves for some time they decided they needed to bring us down to the station. None of the police seemed to really know if that spot was legal and in the end decided it wasn’t, but because they liked the work they said we could go with just a warning!

The Birds, (What) We Used To Be. It was about evolution and remains an unfinished evolution.

Fuck the Police

September 22, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Sunday painting with Royal, Ibie, Uiu, and Edjinn. A nice sunny, warm, autumn day, painting at a skatepark and listening to the sound of kids, families, and skaters enjoying the same day around us. Except for some of us the good vibes were suddenly shitted on by the man aka two cops that drove up and tried to fuck with us. I say try because, despite being bastante cabrones, they didn’t even know if we were breaking the law. They called the city to find out and were told to leave us alone. After confiscating all our paint, bags, and everything inside them (including my camera and housekeys) they had to give it all back! I don’t need to say it again but I will anyway, Fuck the Police!

Fuck em.

Old mirrors still hanging on, beneath the layers of the city…

I have still been drawing. Seeing as the elections are coming up I’ve had Poder (Power) and Corupción (Corruption) on my mind…

I was spending some time around here
