SWEDEN: Urban Artist CODE26 – Abstract Patterns in Urban Space – JÖRG – Graffti Lettering – Independent Style

Discomformities with the rules, experiments with novelty and, above all, simply giving a fuck about the name. “It’s about how good you paint and how often you paint that counts”.

And sometimes he also paints JÖRG. Or whatever occurs to him at the moment and whatever he feels like doing.
