For us at MONTANA-CANS, it is immeasurably important to have a close connection to our friends and partners who use our tools. This need for a close correlation has led us to support and sponsor an amazing amount of incredible events and projects, and helped us to establish collaborations with numerous artists, brands and partners. We are grateful to be in a position to be able to provide this kind of support, and thankful for the abundance of inspirations and ideas that artists and collaboration partners from all across the world share with us. We make it a point to feature these projects and collaborations on our blog and and social media channels, but because of the fast-paced hustle and bustle of the internet, we have decided it was time to create a printed collection which contains merely a small fraction of the creative work we have been involved in over the past years.

LOOKBOOK 016 The event, which lasts one week and is held during the week of Valentine’s Day, takes place in Kaka’ako a district of Honolulu, where more than 80 international and local artists come together to create murals or other forms of art. Interesting collaborations are formed, some of which are planned ahead of time, and others occur spontaneously. Recognizable names from all different parts of the art world, like James Jean, Tristan Eaton, Saber MSK, Doze Green, Case, Akut and Maya Hayuk, delivered their signature style to the walls of Kaka’ako, generating lots of commotion around their creations. This year - for a change - the representation of female artists was refreshingly awesome. Natalia Rak, Olek, Tatiana Suarez, Fafi and Hueman shook the boys up a bit. Another attraction were the amazing installations, such as Kozyndan’s wooden photo prop, and Fafi’s flowery fence installation. A week’s worth of action and an abundance of energy lead to the culmination on Friday evening: an exciting Secret Walls 90-minute live painting battle, including the involvement of some of the off-roster artists like Cara Toes, Lauren YS and Boy Kong. After this climactic end to the week, a few artists were still not quite finished with their projects and prolonged their efforts throughout the weekend. The continued endeavor was evidence of the energetic magnitude of the event, nearly bursting at the seams due to the united power and devotion of its line-up of recognized talent. more images and videos can be found on: WWW.MONTANA-CANS.COM/ montana-blog 23
