Took a road trip to Lillehammer with some buddies and had a blast of a weekend. Here are the flics of what went down for us, and also a quick iphone video clip… Enjoy.

I found the master K7 of the movie I made back in 2002 named TARESTYLES Vol.1 (yea original I know…) and figured I would put it out on the web.

Vol.1… I guess I was planning several movies at the time…? God knows. Anyway, its all old material, its badly put together, it basically sucks ass BUT well its a part of my life, part of my first days adapting and moving to Norway; that means something to me

So here we go, the whole movie in three parts dudes and dudettes! Enjoy!
Peace,
TARE

Ok so a while back I took a day-trip to Skien, Norway to paint with my boy ACHOE.
I decided beforehand that I would make a video, blog, and report of the day, so expectations were high and the gear was ready.
After a couple hours in the car I arrived in Skien and we got down to business; rollered the wall, set out space, distributed colors, and prepared the video equipment.

I approached the first wall (the main grey-orange one) with a new sketching process, where I basically make 4 diamond shaped trace-ups to represent the 4 letters of my name, and then work out the details from there. This is a process which I wish to explore and push further as it results in interesting and generally more balanced results (something which I need to work on, especially individual letter’s weight) It all dates back to what AROE told me once about how he often approached graffiti by using geometry, different shapes and patterns… It makes sense, and is actually really fun to play around with.
While I was painting the main wall, I branched off to use up some Hardcore cans on a near-by wall; freestyled a quick piece and got busy with it…
I don’t get out to paint as often as I would wish to (work, family, business etc etc) so once I am out I like to do as much painting as possible; consequently I also freestyled up a third piece, which I must say nearly destroyed my back (well, yes, I’m not quite as young and in good shape as I used to be…)
All in all it was a very fun, yet kind of hard day; but in my mind deffinitely worth it!
A big thanks to ACHOE for making the day happen!

*Here are also some step-by-step flics of the day.

The long strenuous process of video editing. So fun yet so time-consuming. Stay tuned for the SKIEN TARE video hopefully done in the next couple days…

An extremely cold, dark yet refreshingly crisp Norwegian night featuring some quick KCW track painting.
Sorry for the gritty footage; I have to make do with what I get my hands on. Footage curtousy of mister H-freight-addict; painting in sub-zero death-defying weather is my main man EPO KCW.
Music extract by Boyznoise – Track 2 – “Kontact Me” off their amazing EP – Power.
Enjoy!

Out in Norway somewhere getting busy with my man HCEL. These turned out to be bigger pieces than anticipated; I just wanted to get some quick business done, still using up old hardcore stocks, but HCEL went big so I had to try to keep up. All in all had a fun time even though spending this long on a wall really gets old
Hope you enjoy the flics!

I was going through old high definition flics on my computer and figured it would be nice to present a selection of pieces using the NextGen Slideshow option which enables full-screen viewing and much easier navigation (!) instead of the clumsy and tedious format of the classic HTML based Tarestyles.com… Anyway I hope you will enjoy this selection of works by yours truely. Locations are France, Thailand, Norway, Italy…

Ok så nå har jeg kommet godt i gang med å lage en ny tarestyles video clip som skal legges ut på youtubeTARESTYLES og vimeoTARESTYLES om ikke alt for lenge. Bangkok Boogie heter den og skal inneholde en del fra SHOCK.REA.PMT som viser frem det han holder på med i Bangkok Thailand…  
Gøy å sette seg inni After Effects og Premiere igjen… Alt for lenge siden sist!
Peace
