I like the other piece I saw in Montreal better. I wish I knew he was coming to the north east a few weeks ago when I was emailing with him. Would have invited him to the New Hampshire boonies :P

Thanks for the great posts as always, sal!

Escif recently finished some new interesting murals in Denmark:

-The organizers: “Hello, we are working on a public art project here in Horsens, so we are looking for some walls to intervent. A selected group of international artists will arrive in town to create public works on various locations in the end of June.”
-The owner of the building: “Sounds really interesting. The Turkish pizzeria that just opened in the adjacent premises is not the most beautiful image for my building… you know! So I´m sure that some nice renowned artists can equilibrate this.”
-The organizers: “Sounds good, sir!”
aside from giving comments and critics on political, social, and economical situation (first piece is a commentary on a bad reputation that city of Horsen has in Denmark), Escif is still having lots of fun painting his murals (2nd piece)...

check out his official blog for more info and photos..

From his web site/blog http://www.streetagainst.com

// Heil / Moscu, Russia

I was invited to paint a façade in Moscow for an event called “the best city on the Earth”…. Ups!! Sounds like Moscow government need to do some positive propaganda to recover certain credibility and Street Art is always a good choice. I´m totally agree!

After one denied sketch that “aparently” occupied bigger space than available at the wall, I tryed with a friendlier idea: a big hand making a big salute.

The idea was approved in three diferent levels (Curators, Culture Departement and Government), so I was so happy that so many people liked the drawing.

The façade was located in a privileged site ( Звонарский переулок, Moscow, Rusia), in the main centre of Moscow, t 50 meters from a FSB building (ex-KGB); Just in front of Sanduny Banya, the most famous bathhouse in the city, where rich people go to relax, naked and in good company, share some vodka and caviar with friends. That´s a perfect location to draw this big hand and say Hello!Image

It looks more like it's asking for papers than saying Hello

Escif strikes again!.. love it how with all the censorship he managed to make a provocative piece by giving it such title... feels like the ending of a great movie where you realized the good guy actually won at the end...
