On a trip out to Barcelona this Spring I began
noticing new works signed as Freaklüb - stickers, tags and fresh-as-a-daisy
paintings featuring a curious red-haired girl. At the time, not many people knew
who the artists were behind these bold and sharp designs with unusually flat and
bright colours. It wasn’t until returning home that I found out that they were
friends of Nano4814 who had appeared in the Stencil Graffiti book. So after a
bit of investigation contact was made and I feel lucky to present them in the
upcoming book - Street Logos. In the meanwhile here are the very interesting
vitals…

Well, the day is so long, and we have many hours for making a lot

WHO DO YOU LOVE?
Some special persons around us when we are
in crisis time.

We are not friends of “the competitors”. Barcelona is
something like a “competition” or a “savage place” where the strongest survive (
said one day “X” person ). We are not agree with this answer and we are not in a
competition. To be sure and safe.

HOW DID U GET STARTED IN
CREATING ART FOR THE STREET?

I’m searching different of xpression on
street for 5 years,, but making dirty tags and shitty pieces… After that I
started with my brother making shadows of people on the wall.

I
decided for starting other time with my girlfriend from 2+half years making
first tags as “freaklub grafffics” and 10 months making pieces filled in many
colors and forms with the red haired girl.

WHAT OTHER STREET
ARTIST DO YOU ADMIRE AND WHY?

Here in Barcelona we admire INOCUO (
other semi-member of FREAKLuB! we don’t know what’s the link with us yet ) that,
we think that’s complete cause works many areas of design, he makes
illustration, graffiti, typography, video, works as Dj, too..etc. etc…many
things… is a complete person as designer with a high quality works and get
friendly with him cause’s a great person. You can view some feature artwork with

We are fascinated with London, many posters, stickers and
stencils… We would like to go to Nyc and Japan, too. For ours Japan is a
fetished place, is a culture with a high visual culture and for ours is a great
