Every organisation that was built up on passion and a love of what they do, finds themselves more and more pro-active in their work each year. Montana Cans is no exception as we strive to make the best cans on earth. But that is no excuse to reflect on all the extra curriculum activities like collaborations, festival, project and artist support that happen through the year as well. After all this helped create history. The Montana Cans LOOKBOOK gives an outlet to remember, reflect and reward those who deserve a little extra attention with some extra glow of the spotlight. With great pleasure, we announce the online release of the Montana Cans LOOKBOOK 2019, looking back at some of the highlights of 2019. This edition delves into many projects such as the Montana Cans limited edition cans that featured Mina & Bruce (plus interview), Felipe Pantone, Most and Flying Förtress. We reminisce on the cool collabo's we were involved in with Happy Socks, Good Guy Boris and Reebok Sneakers. We get re-inspired by feature articles on artists IMAGINE, THE LONDON POLICE, FRAU ISA, 1010 and 1UP CREW. We take a look at some of the urban art festivals that raised the bar even higher like METROPOLINK, POW!WOW ROTTERDAM and the THE BERLIN MURAL FESTIVAL. With eyes wide open we scratch under the surface of some alternative disciplines within graffiti culture. The spotlight gets turned on ABSTRACT LETTERING, GRAFFITI ON FREIGHTS and CALLIGRAFFITI. We share some knowledge on the new products like the Montana BLACK INFRA colors and Montana BOLD marker line, which took the industry by storm. Just as the special moment that was the grand opening of the MONTANA STORE VIENNA with our industry partners CONCRETE, did. All this and more over 160 enthralling full color pages.

A STIFF NECK GUARAN-

A STIFF NECK GUARAN- TEED! #nackenstarregarantiert Many mural festivals brace the bricks and concrete of walls all over the world. Some are unique, others are even more unique! In 2017, Montana Cans was proud to support the Berlin collaborative team of “Die Dixons”. Die Dixons made public art history with their unique project, THE HAUS. Through a fruitful long term partnership with DIE DIXONS, Montana-Cans recognised a long time ago the efforts of this prolific and dynamic trio. Just as the people of their home town Berlin who have welcomed the many amazing artworks that resulted from their engagement and hard work. DIE DIXONS consists of artists Bolle, Kimo und Jörni. THE HAUS which was conceptualised and curated by them, took over a full building with the help of 165 other artists in the creation of installations in many artistic disciplines prior to the buildings destruction. The site which was a former bank was a “no camera’s allowed” environment, leaving only memories and experiences to hold on to (or let go of), for those that visited and participated in the project. But behind closed doors a new dream was being had by DIE DIXONS. With a little creative watering and some of Berlin’s first rays of pre-summer sunlight, the seed of THE BERLIN MURAL FESTIVAL (BMF) had grown, and its inaugural opening happened on May 19th, 2018. At colossal speed, the city of Berlin saw an impressive array of color burst into its streetscape in the form of over 30 painted house facades. 134
