Lastplak is a group of around nine painters with different backgrounds and diverse skills. Our goal is to paint, no matter what surface, size or location. Our work can be found all over the world, but our homebase is Rotterdam, so that's where most of our stuff can be seen. Ja toch!
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!
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.
After a 3 hour journey Sterf, Pinwin, Das Boat and sidekick Ged reached the great capital of Horst with a small detour along Venlo, to do some "live painting" at festival Alcatrazz. They builded a wooden wall for us near a cabin build out of pallets for the Dj's. The sun was burning like hell so we had to cool down with BEER, the local press bored us again with stupid questions:"Is this graffiti?" & "you do this often?" but we had a great time. Here some pictures.
The 6 weeks of our Lastplak shop at the Meent are over. It was a great succes, there were 4 exhibitions in the basement and we sold 52 paintings, 106 t-shirts, 29 sticker packs, 2 bags, 1 oil rig object, 5 Ox-dolls and heaps of posters. Thanks to everybody who came to our expo's and off course to Roodkapje who made this possible. Hope to pop up somewhere else in the near future. Here some more pictures.
