Jon Reiss and I recently had the opportunity to meet artist Thordis Claessen, author of the Icelandic street art book, ICEPICK.

She’s up to some great things and her book beautifully captures the “vivid and freaky” street art from the land of the midnight sun.

Check out ICEPICK and learn more about Thordis here!

While in Iceland for the Reyjavik International Film Festival, Director Jon Reiss and I (Co Producer, Harrison Bohrman) were invited to be part of a city hall panel on graffiti and street art.

Artist Thordis Claessen, author of the Icelandic street art book, ICEPICK, was also there (far left) in addition to government official, Jakob Magnusson (second on the right).

Debates over art, personal expression and free space in Iceland seem to be heating up and it was an amazing event to be a part of.

We’ll make sure to keep you posted on what comes of the panel and the future of graffiti in Iceland.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event!

Bomb It! takes the viewer on a journey to the origins of modern street art in New York where the first tags ushered in a new form of communication… It embraces life – true life, not the jaded, self-indulgent views that permeate the so-called clean parts of the world. The director Jon Reiss has been named one of the “10 Digital Directors to Watch” by Daily Variety and we have to say we agree, digital or not.
