Here is the second half. Remembering that this two part selection is just the cream of the crop you’ll realise the vastness of the Slovenian scene. If you like this selection from this most recent trip, try to check out SLOGRAFF to see more such sprayings! Less talk this time, more pictures! Enjoy…

Slovenia (July 08)

How ever much the guide books hype it up, Slovenia is a country most people have never heard of before. Therefore even I am confused as to why it was the destination for my summer holiday this year. As the following photos will prove, it was a stoke of fortune! In Slovenia, things are laid back and slow. You can walk on the tracks whenever and wherever you want. Everyone speaks English and beer is €1.50! Oh yeah, and the trains never get buffed. I was seeing panels from 2003 still running! The main station in the capitol (Ljubljana) was sea of colour where it was rare to see a train that was not painted. There was some really sick writers up on the trains with frequent appearances from Italian writers. To name but a few who stood out to me were ‘Files’, The ‘City Rats’ Crew and ‘Guns’ (Crew?). Files in particular had a legendary selection of panels ranging from a small production with some other writers to enormous whole cars. In all I took about 1000 photos just of graff and most of them were panels. I stayed in the Celica Hostel, which is a sweet place to go if ever in that neck of the woods. This post will be a two part section just due to the sheer number of photos!
