OFFF LISBON 2008

Last summer I spent a few weeks traveling through Spain and Portugal. It was an amazing experience. Lisbon, Portugal was one of my favorite places we visited. The locals were very approachable and the country was beautiful. Anyways, OFFF is currently talking place in Lisbon and I wish I was there. IS050 is taking part in the international festival and has been updating his blog.

NIFTY GRAFF FLICKS FROM ABROAD

Our good homie Mark from toofy.com took a quick trip over to Spain and Portugal to handle some shit and caught some rad throw-ups and pieces. He did what every good person who loves graffiti should and captured them in a “Kodak moment” to share with all of you. Here is what he had to say, “Hey, I just got back from my trip to Spain and Portugal. I had a great time and met a lot of interesting people. I witnessed some superb aerosol pieces but unfortunately was not able to document a good number of them due to driving by them at highway speed. Here’s what I did photograph…”

MORE FROM MARK SIEBERT (TOOFY MARK)

Mark did more than take advantage of the wall art in Spain and Portugal, he caught some quite impressive pieces in L.A. as well. These posts make me wish I took more trips across the world to see the array of talented “villainous vigilante activity” sometimes refered to as artwork. It actually makes me sick to know people are hesitant to give these guys credit for the time and talent it takes to put completely selfless pieces of work on a temporary canvas (buildings, signs, walls), all for a viewer they may never meet. Whoa. First, take a short breath and sneek a peek at the L.A. street art captured via technologically advanced photographic equipment/ Mark’s keen eye. Next, go out and do something you love just to do it, or maybe because you’ve been on the internet too long today.
