things well done | mr. lan ::
:: mr. lan (张岚) has long been my favorite graffiti writer in Shanghai, perhaps China. See below for a sampling of works he painted over the past year or so. Also, click here for a Danwei TV video featuring Mr. Lan. The video also features two other well-known Shanghai writers, Popil and HKR. “The City Needs You.” Bravo, well done. // AjS

Awesome work! I totally want to see it here in Shanghai. Any current addresses/places that you know of? He’d be a great feature on my videos.

This is amazing, the lines and colors in Mr Lan’s graff are so clean, clear and creative.

@ matsch, thanks for your response.
Great video. Thanks for the link to Action For Seed. I peeped it. Excellent. I am looking forward to it being finalized, seems like a great directory of local graff culture in China. Drop me an email: 56minus1 – AT – gmail – DOT – com, it would be great to connect. Thanks.

Adam, sorry for the confusion. I am not connected to Action For Seed in any may. I just found it very promising and knew you might be interested as well… :-)

@ matsch, ah, ok. No worries. Thanks for sharing the link. It’s indeed very promising and I’m always interested in local creative community stuff. Feel free to send through anytime!
