:: I was just chatting with Popil on MSN and she was kind enough to send through a few of her latest graffiti pieces.
The first photo below was done in Shanghai on Moganshan Rd. The middle photo was done on Gulangyu Island (just off the coast of Xiamen city); a simple slapdash throw-up of Popil’s signature cat tag. The last photo shows Dezio doing a piece on the beach, also on Gulangyu Island. // AjS
:: this photo was taken at a small coffee / milk tea shop called 张三疯奶茶店 on Gulangyu island (just off coast of Xiamen city). The sign reads, “we invite everyone to join this shop’s QQ group (72977748) to interactively socialize (i.e. group chat online).” This shop also doesnt allow kissing and recommends you don’t leave until you share your feelings with your loved one…so delightfully 肉麻! QQ is, and likely always will be, the leading instant messaging software in China. The digital media / communications consultant in me has to ask the question of companies and brands operating in the China market –– if ma ‘n pa coffeeshops the size of my bedroom on a random island in China are engaging with customers digitally, why aren’t you? // AjS
