fail and win

My last trip got cancelled at the very last minute which sucks BUT I decided to take a walk around the city, see whats going up lately and visit the old tobacco factory I posted before again.

Its really cool because it is in constant change, I really liked the new work that went up, next time I'll be sure to take some paint.

My findings walking around Madrid (note: there is A LOT more than what is pictured, but I just took a few snaps at stencils and wheatpaste work to change a bit and not always have the same type of stuff on here)

I found this face to be pretty awesome.

Some big names are on there, I'm a fan of yatusabes' work... check more of his work out at: http://www.yatusabesmadrid.es/

Here is what I found at the old tobacco processing factory...

I met this guy once a couple of years ago, pretty chill guy, and really talented.

Those three pics are of the bathroom, last time I went there, there was just a couple of tags but the walls were pretty blank. I love seeing something so colorful and people actually putting hours into their work.

This was pretty interesting, although I hope it's not a finished project, it could be pretty cool if something else was added...

A guy had set up an art workshop, the works done in here were looking pretty awesome...

They had also put in hours of work in the patio...

I loved finding this all of a sudden, they managed to put in a garden, even though its all cement, pretty interesting!

Pretty skilled to do something like this...

I loved seeing our own version of Moulin Rouge haha

This guy was pretty cool (sorry about the finger, I JUST noticed, and this is the only pic I took of that particular piece...)

Embajadores

I know I've been slacking behind on my posts, I've just been extremely busy....

But in all this time I've had time to see a lot of different things, one of them is this, a building donated to an organization that does a lot of different collabs with artists. This building is a really old one in the center of Madrid where they have set up a lot of different activities.

The place is full of good will and a "just relax, just be" kind of mood, its really cool...anyway, I was pissed off I had forgotten my camera once again at home, so my iphone had to do. I'm going to go back next week, I wont forget it then, for sure.

great exterior walls...
all the doors were painted, I'm not much of a stencil fan but I found this to bee quite interesting.

The whole building was divided into small sectors with different workshops, from martial arts to canvas art workshops...It was nice, but they were all closed except the canvas one...which I really did enjoy.

The detail on some of these were quite impressive
small characters sprung up all over the place...
Of course Taken joined me on this adventure...

I love the wheatpaste job done on the door. the character is really clean, such a sweet spot.

They even built an indoor halfpipe...

Taken and I decided to throw up something quick as well...The penguin has a long story behind it and the whole shower thing as well...this is a penguin showering in colors... Taken sometimes writes his name with a "que" instead of "ke" (sounds the same in spanish) but yeah... "you have Taquen (taken) my Soap! haha
