Frist one is in context of the last years climate summit in Copehagen and for that one we were busted by some guy living in the next building.
apparently he didnt want to see new stuff on the building across when he goes to work every day....offcourse we just nodded and waited for him to leave
I need some help with this one. Not exactly sure who these people are and what the dates represent. And I can't seem to figure out who the artist is. Comments greatly appreciated!
Can anyone out there identify the artist? Chankone from grafface army just identified the artist as possibly Love. Thanks.

I used to love crawling around in this building...but a certain someone went and blew up the spot in a certain newspaper article...prompting the building owners to weld their own doors shut. Hinges and everything. It was fun while it lasted.
A little while ago, the Government were amped to rename a bunch of towns and street names - it was pretty crazy how pissed off people were getting over it. Yes, I agree that the name changes were inconvenient and the cash should go to something more beneficial to the city (like support of the homeless, maybe) - but people get really worked up!
Metro wanted to change Kensington drive to 'Fidel Castro drive' ... which I think is pretty rad; so I dreamt up a campaign to absolutely saturate the area with images of Fidel Castro, to play on the pulic's outrage. Unfortuneatly, it was just not the right time in my life to commit to anythiing that extensive so I only got as far as a few sticker and a couple of wheatpastes.
I was bummed that I couldn't see it through but it was a good learning curve.
Here's a couple flicks
(FYI - Upside to the street name changes: there's less money for graffiti clean ups!)
