This morning really early we started to paint on the pavement on the Warmoestraat. Which is the main street in the Red-light district of Amsterdam...I've been participating in this street painting project today. A project that was created by a large group of artists with the purpose to bring the people who work and live on that street closer together, to bond. The people are working and living here had been asked to write a story about their lives, to share something personal about them with their neighbors. The stories were made into drawings and then translated into a huge stencils, this was done by various artists who have been working for several months now on this project. I was asked to participate to paint the street because there were too many last minute cancellations to do this part of the project.I was very happy to help. It was not only a very fun day...but also nice because i saw lots of familiar faces from fellow artists again after many years, from the time we went to art school together..
