November 7th we had the honor to have an international crew of street artist collaborating to create the legendary CFYE wall. Among this crew was the amazing Indigo from Vancouver. It was a joy just to see her paint and she left quite an impression on us. Her calm and relaxed attitude (or maybe just compared to the rest of the crew, you know who you are!) which, in combination with her artwork, makes you realize that still waters run deep. Her stencilling has only just begun and she is already well on her way to become one of the great. But she's not limited to stencil art..or anything for that matters. She's a dancer, writer, photographer, poet and more. In other words, a full-time-multi-talent!

Last year we already did an interview with C215, which gave us a lot of insights. This year we were busy on recapping the year 2009 of C215, when we thought "why not ask the man himself?". So we did, and here's the interview! Enjoy!

So as the story goes, a while ago Kaymir and I got invited to showcase our own photography at the X-streets show which opened yesterday (12/12). All the days of stress and preperations really paid of, because the 3 story high ABC treehouse gallery was looking great from top to bottom.

And here it is, the official magazine for X-street's 'Here we Are' show on the 12th of December in the ABC treehouse gallery, Amsterdam. Together with Wolfgang Josten, we'll be displaying photography at the show, so you know it'l be a blast. The magazine contains info on all the participants, and some special CFYE ads as well. It will be available in limited edition on the show itself, but untill then, have the preview online right here.

Remember we had a competition a while ago, which Pahnl from the UK won? Well unfortunately his prices got lost in the mail, and seeing we have no 'losing-books-in-the-mail' kinda money, it looked kinda sad. Luckily, our amazing friend Gary Shove from Untitled solved this problem by sending him Untitled II, the beautiful renaissance. So a big-up to Gary Shove and Untitled for delivering the well deserved price to our winner!

Untitled is,Without a doubt the most amazing series of street art books. A while ago Gary Shove from untitled offered to send us part one to see if we could do a write up, and we were blown away! Now part two truely shows that untitled is in it's own league. A full review will be posted soon, but first!

To the point, a 5GBP discount exclusively through CFYE! All you have to do is send us an e-mail at contact [at] cfye.com with 'untitled ii' in the subject or body, or register on crackforyoureyes.com before 24/12/2009, and we will make sure you will get your voucher code for the discount!!

Hell yeah! Not long untill the big opening of the X-streets expo 'here we are' is opening in the city centers of Amsterdam! You might know the x-streets collective of some class a walls they did together, their previous show with free beer or simply because their stickers, stencils, paste-ups and other work is all over the citytown. Anyhow, this year you can expect another banger from the collective! The members will show their street art works and installations, and they've also invited a few very special guests who deliver a photo exhibition, naming Wolfgang Jostens- THE street (art) photographer of Amsterdam-, Kaymir Stark and myself!

Almost forgot to post these pics of the nice painting session we had last sunday. In the same derelict building where the CFYE wall is, so it took some fence jumping but after that it was all good. Unfortunately it got dark real fast so we'll have to go back and do a session like this again! Big up to the homies Ives & Simis. More after the jump.

Of course, you can't keep a street artist of the streets so next to doing the hostel and the CFYE wall, the boys Fin DAC & FarkFK did some damage in town as well. Enjoy!

This is how we roll, originally uploaded by ardenswayoflife.

Big up to FarkFK, Fake, Finnbar, Indigo, Ives.one and Nine-O for this amazing wall! More about this tomorrow.
