What happened to Dalata?!

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Packed with a beamer, 20m. of electric cable, Aron, private camera man Gustavinho, rols of tape and black transparant spray…Dalata went on his way to his wall in the Boomgaardhof to sketch the first lines…

In Brazil we have an old saying that goes “não tenha os olhos maiores do que a barriga” which basically means don’t have an appetite bigger then your stomach. Well, the graffiti artists found that to be true now that they got a closer look at the walls. Datala for instance, didn’t realize how much the cherry pick elevator shakes around when it moves.

Yusk only found out how big his wall really was when the 27 meter high elevator, when fully elevated, wasn´t anywhere near the top of his wall. But in Brazil we also have a saying that goes, “missão dada, missão cumprida”, and if you translate that, you got ” mission given, mission acomplished, so lets get to work!

Yep! He did it!!
His wall is ready and the best patattent of Rotterdam has its personal Onesto floating in the air…! Without a doubt Onesto started with the orange rollers, set the silhouets, played a bit with the elevator, the trespassers and the sky…And as if it is nothing to paint such huge surface, he finished it in a few days…!! THANX Onesto for your great contribution!!

Onesto high up!
