Keepers 2. Met a lot of nice people there in London. Cheers to Luca, Chimp, D-
Face and the whole FK crew!

href="http://www.108art.tk/">108: Mmm… I thought about it, I have
participated in several art opening, but I don’t like them very much. I don’t
like convection, I like “street art” because I can do it when I want and where I
want… beside it, for me 2003 has been a bad year. Maybe the best event has
been the arrival of the autumn and the winter my favourite seasons.

/>Medium: It was my
first time in New York, lots of great people there, except for those fuckers at
the border. 

href="http://www.theyok.com">Yok: DRINKING GAMES AT CHAD M’s Bar b
que ON CHRISTMAS DAY. The aim of the game was to bounce a shot glass in to
another glass… lots of laughs . His neighbour came over and asked if he could
play. ha ha ah

El Euro: hard to explain (post
graffiti experience) an href="http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/urawaza/indexhard.htm">art show in
vercelli
and the african art show (Africa capolavori da un continente) at
the gallery of modern aer in Turin

LAUNCH/EXHIBITION- MELBOURNE. IT WAS FUKN MADNESS.

amazing location, great artists on show, and fantastic corridor actions plus the
ArteImpropria project in Milan
together with a lot of artists, it was a great experience working in
collaboration with other people in such a huge scale.

/>108: I think Peio made the best piece of art, I liked a lot the new
pieces on trains that he did this year… maybe this wall is the best thing for
this year. first of all I like the shape of the letters and the set, I like the
outline, the colors… and he wroute for two times his name. The old wall stand
for a natural background, and the trees in the back are part of the composition.
It seems an organic piece, a natural thing. Peio did a great piece, never seen
before stuff like this.
