That’s interesting, after the Zaventem bombings it was surreal to see Belgian military with rifles in the train stations as Belgians are so unused to seeing guns, most police dont even carry them for nigh on 30 years now. What was the point then?

Is Yesterday cheating since really its just a Paul song?

Bruxelles is the french spelling, it is a massive sore point amongst the flemish. My mother hates it but I have always been more partial to the dutch than the flemish, despite myself being flemish. It is telling that as a belgian I have been coming here my entire life, but beyond a single trip to the battle of the bulge I have never set foot in wallonia.

Really its two countries that despise each other taped together

Maar spreek je vlaams?

well lets remember the european theater was over earlier than the pacific; as she tells it one day the belgian army was going down the street, the next day they were going the other way down the street and then there were germans and no school for a long time. Her father was a gamekeeper on some vague noble’s land so they were mainly growing their own food and stayin in the woods. I think the largest change was that she went back to school.

She seems rather blasé about the whole thing really. I think post-war europe was more difficult for her.

Whats your favorite beatles song?

people forget to set their parking break on an incline

Gift boxes from Rostov’s

Art from some of the local names… maybe even someone with RVA in their name

Yes please, thanks!

Do you happen to have photos of these walls that I can pass along?

Got it, thanks!

Size is relative. Compared to the average size wall I work on this is small. Thats just fact. I did not say it was better or worse.

On a larger scale its easy to get lost in squares

my work is largely drippy paint for a long time- I enjoy the emotion and movement it creates in pieces as well as the practical function of easier filling mortar and cracks in bricks

Most of my work is at least 20’ and up to 150’ - so when you work mainly in large walls this is a small one

There are several, but imo above a certain skill level one doesnt really work with such groups as the talent pool is low. For higher level stuff its generally through the artist directly (this is how I do it) or via some high-end agencies which I have tended to avoid

It is not a positive so much as the removal of a negative.

I never said it did not happen elsewhere, it is still an American problem just as it may be a British problem or Korean problem etc…

It is absurd as a society that America thought to just lump all the poor people together and thought that would work well.
