Leaving Warsaw!

Wow, what a week! What a blast we’ve had on our tour across Europe! We painted in London, Brussels and Berlin, travelled for 35 hours, over 2422km! We hung the `Fool’s Gold Exhibition at Dr Sneaker on Thursday and Friday and then opened that night. It was really busy, had such a great reaction, we’re all really delighted. I’ll get all the photos up tonight. But you can see photos of the trip so far on our Recoat Profile page. We’ll be loading up photos of the final pieces and the films from all the paintings over the coming weeks once we can edit them all. Thanks to everyone for all the support and good vibes along the way! Now just a crazy long drive back to Glasgow!!

Fool’s Gold Brussels Animation

Just loaded up your first chance to see what Insa and Inkie created in Brussels on the Fool’s Gold Tour. Moving Image month you say? Kablamo! The boys painted this in layers to create this GIf. My understanding is limited but a Gif is more than an animation, it’s a series of layers that only web pages can recognise and will play perpetually for ever more.

2nd Fool’s Gold Mixtape Out!

Inkie X Insa X Dr Sneaker X Pigeon Promotions X Recoat
This summer we’re going on tour, kindly sponsored by Central Station, taking Insa and Inkie to Warsaw for an exhibition on the 11th June. At the after party we have top DJs playing and we’ve asked each of them to make a mixtape so you hear what to expect! Second one is out from hiphopper, Rad.One. Pigeon just loaded it up here, listen and enjoy!

Rad.one is a Poland born Dj who currently lives in Edinburgh. His music style boldly could be compared to A-Trak’s style. His sets are an explosive mix of hip-hop, electro and dub step. Rad.one is not only a dj, he is  also designer and artist. From the beginning of the 90’s he has been heavily involved in the Polish graffiti scene and was one of the Co-organisers of the first hip-hop gigs in Warmia in 2002. Having grown up in Poland, he moved to New York for a time to develop as a DJ and artist before moving to Edinburgh recently where he continues to craft his style.
