ABOVE’S SIGN LANGUAGE TOUR: ATHENS, GREECE.

“I must say that Athens, Greece has not only one of the most active Graffiti scene, but so many different styles the locals build off it’s intimidating, with a variety of Rollers, Hot Tags, Pieces, Productions, Posters, Stickers, and Stencils.  Athens has been a Hot/Bed of graffiti since the Olympics, as well as many Kosmopolite events bringing foreigners from around Europe, South America, and the United States. Everything I saw in Athens donated itself to getting creative, the weather hitting 90-100 degrees, the abundance of Roof/Tops, many Graffiti stores and cheap Ouzo and Souvlaki all make Athens a Capital city for Graffiti. *A HUGE GREEK THANK YOU TO: Eros, Dreyk, and Phaz
(All for letting me sleep on your floor and supplying me with Home/Made Greek Food, and way too much Ouzo! Final Shouts to INVA, BARNS, and the AMIGOS Crew. !Malaka!”

“You know when your in a different country and your words don’t seem to match up and translate into the other language? Using the Greek Alphabet and Flag Motif these letters are a perfect example of being lost in translation.  Delta…?...Omega…?....Sigma…huh?
