Last sunday I woke up and was pleasantly surprised by the shiny sun. It looks like summer is having an encore. I decided to wash my Vespa PK50 Plurimatic while I bumped into my neighbour who also has a Vespa. She told me about the Forza Vespa initiative that was supposed to be held that day, a ride-out. I joined and enjoined the ride. Sign me up for the next! Hit the read more to view some of the pictures I took that day.
A place where we withdraw ourselves from society/corporate/public transportation mayhem and get completely at ease. This is the place we call home and we all digg it and there’s no other place like it. So when spending so much time running naked from room to room , watching TV, hosting crazy parties, cook delicious food and all other fun stuff we do over there… why not make it a très sexy looking one! This is a returning post with sick looking interior designs of apartments and studio’s.. So go ahead and enjoy. Love from AFTG.

Two weeks ago we posted about our missing kitty. The result, a couple dozen voicemail messages, a handfull of e-mails and text messages and some comments on our post. Unfortunately none of them led to the exact whereabouts of our kitty ór killer bird. We mention ‘killer’ because a number of people have also spotted the bird. See the reaction of Avram:
‘Whoa! I’m in Korithi on the island of Andros, off the coast of Greece. I just saw huge fucking bird steal octupus from klamata vendor while clutching a cat in its talons! I went to spear it with my trusty javelin but the Simurgh got away. I will keep an eye out, but no guarantees.’
This is some serious shit guys. We couldn’t just sit back and wait. We had to take some action ourselves. Therefor we present you, The Birdhunter.

Notice that The Catsuit comes with a little cat mask to make the bird chasing effort look good. A cat looking tail however is not included so you have to make your own.

Moderat – A New Error
STROKE01 is almost up. Its not really news anymore, that Urban Art (as a melting pot for several young art developements) has found its way from a subculture into mainstream Media and galleries worldwide. We are part of a global art movement, probably the first art movement, that is kept alive and growing based on a global network working without borders or other cultural differences.
Is it possible to unite young German and European galleries and art projects and convince them to work together – to be able to exhibit under one flag? Stroke thinks they can – and that’s the reason why they’ve started to build project STROKE.01 as a platform to make this dream come true.
STROKE01 will be held from october 29th till october 31st on Dachauer Strasse near the Stiglmaierplatz in Munich.
Bookmarked this a while ago. Fabien Barral from France really knows what he’s doing. I love the mixture of disciplines he uses in his works. You can see a lot of his work on his site or on Flickr. Got hooked? Score yours in his shop. Def. worth a couple square inches on one of your walls.
During some scrolling through Drawn I encountered the art of Spain based artist Pablo Auladell. Just wanted it to share it with you guys.
Nelio creates cool shit! The guy is from Lyon, France and amazes me with his art. He runs a Flickr pool with some of his works which he produces all over the globe. Love it!
