Huge cheetah stencil at the Boomgaardhof in Rotterdam city centre.

Here some pictures of some more summer sessions and lastplak side projects.

Since we had a virus in our website we didn't upload anymore, but the virus is gone. In the meantime we painted over an old wall from us at the Oude Binnenweg in Rotterdam city centre wich has been there for more than 3 years. This time we painted it with only blue paint and guest painters: Cosh, Ces53, Kbtr and Fake. Here some pictures.

Just like last year, some brave Lastplakkers attended the anual Zwarte Cross. Hollands biggest festival (147.000 people), organised around motor racing, beer, tante Rikie, and music. Lastplak was asked to paint wherever we wanted as long as we stayed on the gezeilde zwarte hekken. Needless to say we had too much fun and even invented our own drink; the Lastplakker. The results of wich you can see in the pictures below. Thank you tante Rikie, thank you Feestfabriek and see you next year, yeah!

Because some people think it's Komkommertijd and it's totally not, here some pictures of various Lastplak side thingies.

Last week Das Boat, Ox-Alien, Pinwin, Ged, Jons & Koen (Bier en Brood collective) painted a hallway with the theme "Delft Blue" in Hostel Room here in Rotterdam for their 4 year anniversary.

Yesterday Thor, Ox-Alien, Boortorrie, Grrt, Sake, Pinwin, Oles & Das Boat made a stop motion video clip for Shambok. It took us 10 hours of fulltime painting to finish the job, but the result is gonna be great (we hope!). A big thanks to Bolle Tim for the location! As soon as the video is out we will let you know.
