MadC - 700 wall in HD

Here we are, the wall is done! Even though I decided to paint a little
further still - I just finished it before the snow set in. The wall was
originally planned to end at the set of windows since those are difficult to
involve and the surface of the wall became pretty bad from thereon too.
However, I decided to extend my theme in places and take the challenge to
paint until the very end of the wall. Now it is about 680m2 of wall space.
Finally, the picture is complete and I hope the story sums up. My
Stylemachine-idea was based on the life of a dedicated graffiti writer. It's
a wall for all of us who paint 10+ years and who put all their energy and
heart into it.

That's how I translated the idea:
Scene one - the laboratory - we sketch, we try, we are inspired, no matter
under which circumstances, lack of time or interruption

Scene two & three - the machine and harbour - we select sketches and
produce our ideas, try techniques, style- and colour-variations and get them
out into the world

Scene four - the difficult journey - a lot of our work gets destroyed f.e.
by the buff, toys or by the nature, so we have to keep on doing our thing no
matter what

Scene five - the city - you keep on sending your name into the world, so at
the end of the day some of your pieces reach their destination, where they
belong and where they are seen.

And for those out there who like numbers a lot: some days I went up and down
the ladder more than 500 times; fell off the ladder 4 times; counted in days
I painted more than 4 months every day at least 10 hours; I used 1489 cans;
158 different colours; 600+ caps; 3 different kind of caps, 100 liters
primer; 140 liters exterior paint; painted at temperatures from +2°C to
+38°C in sunshine, rain, storm, day and night; painted my biggest and
smallest piece so far and overall painted my name far more than 100 times on
this wall. I'm curious if anyone will guess or find out how many there
actually are. I made only one exception from solely painting MadC pieces on
this wall. Special place in my heart - special place on my wall.

And last but not least - a massive thanks to everyone who supported me
throughout the year, Molotow above all of course.

29 seconds ago someone in my life i love died im my mind. every time im depressed i search for ideas to use art to stay alive. 28 seconds ago i though of how i treated her and i started to cry. 27 to 6 seconds i had loaded a gun and put it to my head. the last second before almost pulling the trigger my lap top fell on my foot making me move the gun barrel 2 inches from my head and blowing a hole in my tv. i saw the video and noticed that you saved me. this is not a lie. my names -Avice one-
