Smoelwerk: 10 years of Dutch Hip Hop. Sat. 19/09/'09

This saturday the hiphop forum Hiphop in je Smoel (aka HIJS) is celebrating their 10 year anniversary. They've been planning an event to celebrate this for over a year and it's quite a big thing in the hiphop scene over here. On 19 september they programmed a day with Holland's creme de la creme of hiphop in the WATT. And that day they are also presenting the Smoelwerk book to the public, filled with 10 years of Dutch hiphop history. Featuring MICKLAROCK. Besides al this goodness the Smoelwerk cd is also presented that day. And hey hey hey, here is the preview of that album on the legendary Luisterpaal.

Street Science Rotterdam July 2009

I was invited to paint during the Street Science Festival in Rotterdam this summer. Great jam, great people. I worked together with Lastplak (Rotterdam), Zebster aka Zeb-roc-ski (Berlin), Redy (Hong Kong), Foxy Lady, Eras aka Loser. There were also some good artists from Brazil doing their beautiful thing.

We painted the backyard of CBK, Hip Hop House and club Watt. The story on that action you can read at Martha Cooper's Blog at 12Ounce Prophet:

I have to give the Street Science staff much props for the organization and accomodation.

Here's an impression of the stuff we did:
