Blue Lady at the NDSM street art area
On Saturday, April 18, 2020, the 2nd edition of the Amsterdam NDSM Graffiti Jam took place. The legal walls available for painting were completely taken over that day; not a single free spot was available. It was incredibly busy and the biggest jam to date.
MBecause I don't create letters, but rather realistic images, I chose a quieter spot to paint. That turned out to be the ‘Blue Lady’. She adorns this NDSM container.
Despite the smaller crowds and festive music from the nearby jam, it was busy here too with all the passing tourists and the buses parked about 10 meters away.
Stencil and sticker art at the NDSM, at night
Besides the fact that the NDSM has been completely taken over by graffiti and street art, there is also a scene that pastes colorful and detailed stencils and stickers across the site. I chose to capture female pin-up-style ladies with my camera. There are true works of art among them, such as those by CC Art Lover, Amsterdam, and for example Neft Nik, al the way from Melbourne.
