the best pieces ive ever seen were in Germnany. i didnt get too many pics because most of the time i saw them i was on a train. i'll try to post up pics from a squat i went to. the entire inside was covered. its was all layers upon layers.
salvation or annihilation the choice is up to you and me. Genocide is now a threat but soon to be reality, it takes two sticks to create a spark, imagine the spark of millions, a million hands joined in love could save us from the killing.

yea geramny has a HUGE graff scene. it has some of the best writers such as daim, loomit, ect. but i don't like the majority of stuff over there. i guess its just because i'm used to american s.hit. they are nuts there too. i have a video where a bunch of writers get into subway tunnels by picking locks and cutting chains, just to paint some trains...... NUTS!

yeah, every other train i rode was tagged up. some of the stuff there really sucks, but most of it blew everything ive seen here in ftw out of the water.

yea, i can understand why you say that. but the fort is not very chill to bomb. us writers can't get loose with a piece on the streets. plus in germany they have trains that run through their city's, we don't. you have to know where to find graff here. unless myself or someone else gets the balls to hit a major spot, but that doesn't happen often.

this is some of the stuff from germany. definately not close to the best, but its what i had the chance to get pics of.
the first ones were from a squat/artist colony thing that had a bar on the top floor in Berlin

and these were in the subway

i know this doesnt show all the awesome tagging and stuff, but like i said before... i only saw those when i was on a moving train. but i figured these could be appreciated
