Farvel Politiken
Efter 9 år har IByen desværre valgt at trække stikket på min ugentlige tegning, pga. en større omlægning.
Det er blevet til næsten 500 tegninger igennem årene. Jeg håber, at i har kunnet lide at følge serien. Den har været en stor del af mit arbejdsliv siden 2003 og jeg har været meget glad for at lave den.

Last day in Palestine (Thursday)
I never got to show the photos of my final day on the West Bank. Here they are.
The day started out by a trip to the Palestinian Art Academy. I did a talk on graffiti, my work and how to make a living as an artist. After that they wanted me to do a workshop where I could teach them how to paint a big wall. I was not prepared for this but improvised a bit and told them to do some brain storming and draw some sketches. After that we picked the best idea. They decided on drawing some big hands. I did a bit of painting on the parking lot while they painted hands. Then I returned to The Danish House In Palestine and did a drawing on the wall of a muslim lady with a viking hat. The Danish House In Palestine has made my trip possible and has done an excellent job of putting and interesting program together for me. Go visit the place if you are in Ramallah. They are such nice people and do all kinds of great cultural events. In the evening I painted a wall outside the restaurant where the farewell dinner was held. And then I returned to Denmark.
Palestine is an open-hearted country but the occupation makes life hard for the population. I hope the future holds peace for the people. And for the writers around the world: Go to Palestine! Its full off raw concrete and endless possibilities.

Jerusalem and Bethlehem day
Today I did a bit of tourist stuff together with Karen from The Danish House In Palestine who invited me down here to work with the local writers. We went to Jerusalem. First we had to go from Ramallah past a strict Israeli checkpoint. A lot of the palestinians are not allowed to go to Jerusalem, but because we had an international passport we could enter. After Jerusalem we went to Bethlehem in Palestine were I did a workshop with some kids in a refugecamp. The camps here a not tent camps but small cities with real houses and narrow streets. This camp was build in the early 50ties after the Israeli invation. In the camp live 13.000 people on a very small area. At the worksshop I told the kids to paint a painting of them self on the wall. First I did a quick painting of myself and then it was their turn. They kept the concentration half way through the works shop but then a crazy sandstorm came flying in from the desert. Sand everywhere, things were flying round and the the kids found some spray paint and went crazy. Total chaos but pretty fun. In the end we had to confiscate the paint and stop the workshop. The mural turned out pretty alternative. On our way home we past by the birth church where Jesus was born (how do they know these things??)
