Lately our mailbox has been flooding with spam! Not the right one, but Chinese spam, which we @ CFYE do not really understand. Luckily the SPAM! we send out gets answered too! So get ready for a brand new shiny CFYE original SPAM! interview with BUSTART. If the name Bustart rings a bell, that wouldn't be surprising. We recently dedicated an article to the Xstreets Collective exposition, of which Bustart is a member. Besides that you can't walk the streets of Amsterdam withouth seeing one of his stickers, stencils, pieces or paste-ups. The same probably goes for Basel, Swiss, home of Bustart and his brother Pingu, also active in streetart and member of the collective. But enough from us, read on for some Spam!
