“They asked me to paint a shrimp on the wall behind their open air shop. I was saying – no i only paint what i want. I looked at the animal for making an abstract idea, but it had so a cool alien shape that i decided to draw it like it is. They were realy happy whit the picture and fascinated how quick i do this. Boom! They gave me a kilo shrimps …bon troc?!”

Guys got soul n love. If you are a CRUNCHTIME follower you will know “The Loop”, but there is more. There is a soundcloud page now dedicated to the Tritone way of life. Ken Cesar Sampson and Stefan Moerth aka Stereotyp are putting their passion into this whenever they feel like it. Watch out! Open ears. Cesar and Stefan just hit the studio for a magical session when they feel like it. The songs are written in one night and the guys don’t feel any pressure – it’s the session which counts. The outcome is deep blue and soulful. I am sure you will feel what I try to tell you with these humble words… Tritone.

First post in 2010! Happy new year! We start this year with a real banger! Finally Tvout2 for jailbraked ipod/iphone is out , which means that now it’s possible to visualize any app on a second screen. Second good new is that Theo Watson along with his team released a new version of fattag, programmed with a lot new features. One to keep an eye on is the possibility to save any tag as GML data on the #000000book . Big up for the whole team at F.A.T giving us new toys for urban visual expression!
Along side with my friends, Vael, Smurf, Mascaras and Porno we did the first vj gig at the flex club in Vienna. We plugged in the fattag through a 3,5 to 5 meter led wall, hanging over the dance floor! Yeah kind of wicked installation. It worked out perfectly.
Club impressions: Big thanks to S.P.Y (Metalheadz) for an impressive DnB set

The futures is now! More crazy actions! Urban interventions! Ipod-vjing! Digital analogue graffiti! Mobile Tagging!
Element Europe joined forces with Crunchtime artists based in Vienna, Austria for a skateboard live-painting project this autumn. Decks coming out of artists’ series by skateboard companies are usually either too exclusive or too expensive to be skated. Hence, they usually end up on a wall in a living room. But you know what – NO street NO art!
We painted 30 boards in summer 2009 and the notorious INOPERAbLE Gallery in Vienna is going to show at the 19 December the whole project with impressions of the Crunchtime painting sessions.
feat Artists:
Fefe Talavera (Brasil), Smurf (Austria), Stereotyp (Austria), AraByrd (Malaysia), Cee (Germany) and
Momo1030 (Austria),Brother Kas (Austria), Karton (Austria)
p.s: The project is full of different philosophies, energy, and truths, so. just watch the video enjoy”
After the weekend we are back with the Trailer of the “No Street No Art” Project. The making-of was pretty fun. We used mixed techniques like eddings, spray cans and photo prints from the painting sessions and put them together onto a paper and filmed it while rolling it from one side to the other. The music was a collaboration of Dubmaster Cee and Momo on the wackedegged-guitar.
Keep it raw – keep it real. Enjoy
