The Montana-Cans LOOKBOOK 2020 – Looking back to move forward to a new generation
Seeing 2019 come to end was a particularly exciting thing. Not only were we the team at Montana-Cans excited by the things to come, but we also enjoyed the chance to reflect and pay tribute to all the creators, partners and supporters that helped make all we achieved possible. Ending 2019 was also joined with the realization that we had just ended a decade and started a new generation. For this very reason, the Montana-Cans LOOKBOOK 2020 is jammed packed with exceptional content.
Available now in limited hard copies and digitally in the link below, we took time to revisit some of the pivotal moments, like the progress of the Montana BLACK Artist Can Series featuring DEMS and RAGE, the biggest ever Montana Cans logo mural in the LA spray day. We took a peek at the lives of the movers and shakers like Odeith and his very unique take on painting, the LOW BROS at METROPOLINK. We took some time to see the world at the home of SOBEKCIS. We shared some words with HOW & NOSM while they were working on an epic mural for the Boulevard 13 project in Paris. Artists such as Amber Vittoria and DMOTE let us into their studios to share some of their more private works.
For the more under the radar artworks, we featured some of the works of veterans of steel in the form of the U.S TCI crew and their efforts on the freight trains. While OSMAN flew the European flag for innovative commuter train artwork. And while in Europe (or at least for now still in Europe), we put the magnifying glass on the UK exposing some refreshing approaches to graffiti by VOYDER, 45RPM, and PREF. "Bring The Paint" beeped heavily on the international event radar, bringing world-class graffiti art and muralism together in one space. While far away over the ocean the team at POW! WOW! and the GREETINGS TOUR teams moved from strength to strength making the international art calendar a monumental one. All this and more.
With a big THANK YOU we invite you to spend some time and take a look at the Montana-Cans LOOKBOOK 2020.

Step Out of the ArenA
Step Out of the ArenA 2019 1 Location Eindhoven, Netherlands Photography @lukedaduke Graffiti Jam in Eindhoven For every yin there is a yang. The Step In The Arena graffiti festival in Eindhoven Netherlands is no exception. Logically the artists that step in the arena need to step out. But there is no half-steppin! 1 Riot1394 keeping it warm with some three dimensional letter trickery. 2 TelmoMiel abstracting this image of a young female figure. 2 94 Recap Step Out of the Arena
3 Step Out Of The Arena (SOOTA) took place shortly after the creative hangers of SITA started to fade. This time staying in the home of SITA, Eindhoven, SOOTA was like the aftershock to the earth - quake that was SITA. Confused? Don’t be. The artists still hanging around after the main event got together to rock a concept wall that was not located at the SITA site. The Montana GOLD and Montana BLACK cans that were still warm from the days before were at the ready for a color connected afterburner. 4 3 In progress, NovaDead has Biggie Smalls on the radar for some creative re-invention. 4 Attention to detail. Even after the main event, Russia's Zmogk took his work equally as seriously. 5 Reser from Italy making light work of his time away from home. 5 Recap Step Out of the Arena 95
