Too cheesy not to ridicule. The ESPRIT campaign.

People in Amsterdam

Posted in 2011, Amsterdam, kunst, Painting, People, Street, streetart, SW, walraven by sophie on 28/09/2011

This cage we live in is getting smaller and smaller. I don’t know how to break out of it, but I can paint on the bars.

Caught!

Posted in 2011, Amsterdam, kunst, Painting, People, Street, streetart, SW, walraven by sophie on 16/07/2011

I caught these two American tourists redhanded! They were ‘stealing’ my work as I passed by on my bike. Taking these pictures, I slowly approached them. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

They told me it was the best thing they had seen in Amsterdam. DAMN I’m easy to please. So, no, I didn’t want to accept their money, but their offer to write an article about my work (since one of them is an NYC journalist) I didn’t refuse. Let’s see if they keep word!
I even let them take their picture with me. Hopefully I will be able to post that on my next blog. (guys?)

Ladies & Gentlemen

Posted in 2011, Amsterdam, kunst, Painting, People, Street, streetart, SW, walraven by sophie on 24/06/2011

1 Because I want YOU to be able to see my work without having to go to a gallery, museum or my studio. I think art should be out on the streets for everyone to see.

2 Because I want to make the city a little prettier.

3 Because I hate the way everything is getting regulated and boring around me. It feels like people like to march and live in a clean city without any surprises. What the F is going on with everyone?

4 Because I like the rush of things, everything else bores the # out of me.

These are only a handful, if you click on the pictures you will see more. (a lot more)

New Painting on New Car

Since I couldn’t drive my old car after the bird was cut out, I got a new car. And again I painted it. There is not much to say, that the pictures can’t, so here:
