From Rik:

"Today I read your article about the razzle dazzle boats during WWI. I never knew about the history of these kind of paintings on boats. What I did know was a boat situated in Arnhem (the Netherlands), with exactly that kind of painting. It is called "De Boei" (the buoy) and is used for the day and night shelter for drug-addicts. I tried to find out why the boat was painted this way. Does the city of Arnhem want to "hide" these people? I did not find the answer on that. But I do think the opposite happened, a lot of people know about this remarkable boat."

Tom McAlister points us to a terrific article on TwistedSifter.comabout the "Razzle Dazzle Camouflage movement:" during WWI.

It was the British artist and naval officer Norman Wilkinson who to elude detection by German U-Boats, decided to paint hulls of his naval fleet with geometric patterns and shapes to confuse the Germans on where the ships were headed. As TwistedSifter states - "Then their torpedoes will be shot in vain because they thought you zigged when you really zagged."

Unfortunately today only black-and-white photos exist. Here's some of our favorites:

From Mjar in London:

"Back in June 2005 a group of street / graffiti artists took over the walls of an abandoned East London bus depot/ crack den in Dalston. We were there and took a bunch of photographs.

Having just recently found the pictures again on a disk after a spring clean last week, we have put some of them together in this clip. This is out first upload to Youtube and we haven't worked out the best size, format to ensure it looks its best so watch the video in HD if you have a fast web connection. But is is good to be able to share them online, as we had believed they were forever lost via a stolen computer of ours.

Photos feature the works of some talented artists and friends including What Collective (Richt, Gumbo, Oath and 45RPM) , Dave The Chimp, PMH, Busk, Blam, Showchicken, mjar, Sri, Thought Police, Skire, Adam Neate, Jerm, Herse, Fybe, Probs, Pheks and Ink Fetish to name a few."
