MANILA ROCKS MY WORLD, part 6

Again and again, here we are !!!!! I have to say that there is something magical with this city.
For the first time, since I go to the Philippines, I was there for a show with my partner in crime
Mist. We usually go there to paint in the streets and hang out with our friends Bigs, Alvin, Allan,
Borgy, Rommel, Roberto, Roey,
EGG, EXLD, TRIP. We showed some of our recent works at Secret
Fresh gallery and it was a great success. Even more than we could have expect. Most of the graffiti
artists from the city
came to the opening and I want to thank them all.
Long life to Manila graffiti scene...!













ANARCHY IN THE UK

October 2007, a girl named Dora from POW contacted me cause she wanted to get some
paintings of mine for a London show but I was just moving to New York and we didn t do it.
4 years later, the collaboration with Pictures on walls started and I m really excited to work
with the
POW crew, Dora, "printer" Sam, Simon, "ex-curly" Sam and their mysterious boss.
We already did 2 prints and some special neon editions, they invited me to be part of their
Christmas show together with Evol, Paul Insect, Dran, Jimmy Cauty, Bill Barminski and Banksy
and they did their best
to help me painting this big wall (16 x 8m) at Village Underground that
represent the Union Jack
made of the lyrics from Anarchy in the UK. I use to listen to the Sex
Pistols when I was a 15
years old skateboarder cause my uncle was a french punk at that time ...

Thanks to my men, Kool.T and Grizz Big Addict

OFF THE WALL

This Singapore exhibition with 18 local and french artists at HELUTRANS Artspace in november 2011
was
curated by WallWorks gallery from Paris, Fortune cookies projects from Singapore and Claire Piton.

I decide to go to Hong Kong before to see my friend Ceet and do some paintings in the streets before going
to a country where you can go to jail and get beat with a stick only for a single tag on a wall. We did a piece
with
Uncle a local Hong Kong writer and some throw ups.
Then we flew with Kongo and Ceet to Singapore where the rest of the crew joined us, Alex, Lazoo, Fenx,
Gilbert,
Colorz and Sonic from New York.
The day after the opening we gat a chance to paint with prisoners in one of the biggest jail of Singapore.
Some of
the guys who were there gat 20 years to stay in that place and to see their eyes when they were painting
on a wall
with people coming from outside,was really intense. That was for sure, my best Singapore experience ...
