Julio 204 and Taki 183 might not have anticipated what their quest for fame will eventualy become. Tags turned to pieces. Through-Ups turned to elaborate murals. Still all kinds of styles live today mutually. Some writers go bombing, others feed galeries; and both likewise “Won‘t stop ‘til the last drop“.

"Spray Can" of the HipHobjects series is a fine art offset print on rough cardboard paper by Flora at hearty 240 g/m² — FSC-certified mix of recycled papers, cotton addition and tfc-cellulose for a grippy, non-glossy and natural surface with unique fibre mottle pattern. The razor sharp duo chroma print unites the pure black followed by the signal red channel. Both smoothly blend together as the colors harmonize with the light ivory and grainy background. The black and grey'ish components are the highly detailed vector illustration which is a technical resemblance to the art of traditional copper engraving — line by line. The red components are the scanned copy of hand-carved lino-prints to combine the digital space with the analog world.

The entire effort is brought to life in cooperation with VaKo Druck, the local printing house with a decades lasting tradition in their craft and a sophisticated feeling for analog media. Thanks.
