Under Martha Cooper’s lenses

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Onio was unquiet. He wanted to paint.

What better could happen to him on a sunny Sunday afternoon than a legal wall to jam with Dutch artists?

Better than that, he painted in front of the lens of the super photojournalist Martha Cooper, the woman behind nearly all of the documentation of the beginning of graffiti in New York in the 70’s and 80’s!!

Thankx again Street Science!

A little bit more Street Science

The local painters invited the guys to join them in bringing life to the walls of a Rotterdam institution, the Hip Hop House. Ramon, Onio and Stile gladly accepted and spent an afternoon painting alongside several Dutch locals enjoying a luxurious lunch buffet and even a visit from esteemed local authority, the police.
