Grafitti hits the red carpet on the Thalys

Posted on September 18, 2009 under , , , , ,

You won’t see this often but when it happens, it feels great to see it.  Four very very influential writers from Europe took to painting four cars in Paris.  From Fatcap.com:

The FatCap Team was invited to the most unexpected graffiti project of the year : 4 notorious graffiti artists painting live the new Thalys Paris – Cologne. Who could imagine ten years ago, that one day a legal project like this would be possible?? In 2009 it’s reality…

SEAK (Cologne), Jonone (Paris), Sozyone (Brussels), and Zedz (Amsterdam) painted four cars of the European king train today at “Gare du Nord” in Paris. They had 3 hours and 15 minutes to finish the painting, that’s the new time the new Thalys needs from Paris to Cologne.
