Rallito X - Berlin’s Phallic Repolution
Phallic Street Art | When I first came in contact with the murals by Spanish street artist Rallito X I absolutely loved his crazy monster characters and the provoking slogans. Now he visited Berlin to produce Berlin’s phallic repolution…
Imagine for a moment that you could change the world. That you are able to create a movement through art that makes you lose the sense of what is real and what is a lie. That is the mission we have sent to Rallito X.

Bristol Weekend-Trip
City Trip | Hey folks, I’m just back from the nice British west coast city of Bristol! After some sunny days with greasy food and a lot of beer I’m glad about being back in Berlin fuckin’ town!
Although Bristol is, compared to other cities I visited so far, quite small, it’s good enough for a weekend-trip especially because the routes are short and therefore everything is within walking distance…

Mr. Brainwash Gets Protection
Street Art Protection | For some time now, there’s a more or less big discussion running around the world, why street artworks should be protected, who decides which one is worth protecting. After everybody’s darling and super-duper street art hero Banksy, we now have another artist (?) whose works moved up the ladder and are now worth protecting…

Explosion Wall Art by Vhils
Urban Destruction Art | Almost a year ago I showed you my love for this kind of rough and energetic urban art by publishing a big fat interview with Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils! Now he’s back with a big bang-boom-bang and jumped in from zero to hero with these awesome exploding wall…
I try focusing on the act of destruction to create; this is a notion I first came across in Graffiti, and it has been very influential in my work. I believe we are all formed of different sets of layers: personal, social, cultural, historical and so on. (Vhils)
