Mr T, and other foreigners graffiti

ivar

My old highschool is pretty close from where I live now. The number of students has increased, partly because they merged with another school. So, the old buiding does not have sufficient classrooms. They are working on it, but in the mean time, they have a 2-story 'emergency' building right next to it.

I think one of the art teachers and some students got creative:

I was thinking the same thing; What happened to dutch people? aren't they good enough for graffiti?

Neat
Over here they are called "portables" and sometimes remain for years.

Think about the planning that had to go into that remarkable execution! Be interesting to be a fly on the wall while the planning was going on.

No Dutch? Every thing's in English????

American TV strikes again...

I was watching a "night show" and the host asked who watched a certain TV show and a young man from Denmark raised his hand. The host asked how he got to see the show and the young Dane said he downloaded it from the internet!

I'm choosing to read it as Mr.T POPping all those fools in the face. That makes me happy.

Yep, portables, that's the word I was looking for. I guess literally translated we would almost give them the same name, mobile classrooms.

There really had to be some planning. Two stories high, I don't see how you can do that without planning.

There are a lot of american TV shows here. Oprah, Dr Phil, the A-team is currently on as well. We do have dutch shows as well of course. American shows are not translated.

Hi Ivar, this is the sort of Graffiti I like it, it's well presented.
I really cant stand that stuff you see sprawled on trains and bus stops etc, that to me is straight out crap.

We have a street here in Geelong that was painted in Graffiti (legally) and it is an absolute credit to all those young people who produced it, they are indeed very talented, and it's nice to see there is a place for such art work to be on display.

Thanks for sharing Ivar ..... Skippy

Thanks Skip!

Yeah, I too don't really like graffiti when they are just tags or something, but the big paintings I can definitely enjoy.

I found out today that it was actually a small project from an art college.
