The Meeting of Styles is an annual gathering of writters from all over, i recognised stuff from Brasil, Brussels, Russia, America, Italy.Apperently it began in Wiesbaden and then outgrew the communities support for the venue. Twas an old slaughterhouse, ignored locally until they realised it seasonally filled with vandles. Local politicians got involved and so, the venue is being gentrified. And the MOS doesn't really happen so much in weisbaden no more, but for this quiet underpass near the local beach( man made beach on the Rhien river).
So the images start at the old slachthof with fresh work and then MOS 2009 fading away (Peeta outa Italy for Atune). Then a sense of scale for ,as a local writer described 'small wall'. And then a few bibs and bobs of interest to me...

Weisbaden clean old monied city. Cobbled streets stickers restricted to the back of signs, lots of doozer 183. as tags throwies stickers and posters. Lots of crew & cru along the autobahn and in quiet streets,once as a sticker.
These dog head characters are stenciled and painted onto gaffa tape, same with the 'neileid' flick knives.
Found the Meeting of Styles (MOS)site with some works dating back to 2009 still visable. Fading old 'peeta' and 'san1' with 'okuda','kaim', 'motor','boe',that guy who does the characters with 'does' in loveletterscrew. Heaps more at the other site, but i will talk directly to those photos...
