CASK, ZARE, CIER, PHE, PHON, ERGO, TEASE & RUMAH, SOBER, and EURO.Way back in
2003 Mr. Spar hooked up with Monster colors and has never looked back. He continued to develop
his many fresh styles and experiment with the range of colours now at his disposal via monster colors




Mr. Spar formed NRFL in 2004 and hit walls all across the UK stretching from Glasgow all the way
down to Brighton, and everywhere in-between. a member of the monstercolors writer team Mr. Spar

Interview with the Meeting of Styles Mastermind

What are the key dates in the history of the Meeting of Styles

The key date was back in 1995 when the idea came to me to organize a international graffiti meeting at the
Wiesbaden Hall Of Fame. The first Wall Street Meeting was in 1997. The next key date was the 2000 Meeting,
when more than 10,000 people were at the jam The ultimate key date was in 2001 when the city of Wiesbaden
started to tear down the schlachthof grounds. The ignorance of the politicians towards the significance of the
area made me angry, and still does to this day. This inspired me to keep the spirit of the Wall Street Meeting
alive and to spread it beyond the city limits.



What are the best memories that you have?

I always enjoy seeing people from different countries, cultures coming together, unifying and collaborating
to hear different languages at one venue. The best memories I share with some of my travel mates.
There are too many.





How do you explain the longevity of this event?

People recognize the real. I think it's the history, credibility and spirit of the event. It's nothing commercial
or artificial. MOS is unifying people through cultures, colors and crews. It's not created by a brand with a
commercial intention. The MOS comes from the street, not from a desktop. We are focused on bringing
people together in the spirit of collaboration and communication and people feel this. The honest intention,
passion and love we have in putting this together. You tell me.





How do you see graffiti evolving?

There has been a lot of evolution in the past years. The older scenes improved their skills and styles,
new scenes have grown, especially in Eastern Europe, with new ideas, skills and styles due to the limitations
in hardware. It has grown worldwide.




You travel the World. How would you describe the different graffiti scenes in different countries?

In my experience, I'd say the scenes all over the world are mostly made of graffiti-drenched brains ruled
by styles, colors, skills, spots and trains. Scenes are very much alike all over the world because the passion
and love unifies across all mental and cultural borders. wherever I've gone, local scenes have always been
open minded. Stylewise I would say each country and area has its own soul.




In which new countries would you like to organize a MOS?

A place where I'd love to organize a MOS, is the border of Israel and Palestine. This wall is probably the
hottest and most political wall at present. Maybe the wall between Mexico and the USA Life is crazy.
With all that killing and bullshit out there in this world, politicians bother about graffiti. Ridiculous.

Last words?

Respect each other and unite. Share instead of segregate. Evolution of the mind.

Thank you all. Yours.

Bonom art

A nice article on Bonom art by LindsayT over on fatcap.com

A mysterious artist with a unique style, Bonom covers the rooftops
of European cities with an impressive amount of pets and chimeras
of all kinds.



With rollers and brushes, Bonom is a "climber", undeterred by any vertical challenge.
Like most cities, the roofs of Paris and Bruxelles are coveted spots for their visibility,
but also because they propose challenges for other artists, and for cleanup crews to access.
His work can be seen from the streets, windows, cafe terraces, and, especially, from the
Parisian Skytrain, the official vehicle to travel through the living gallery that is this city.
