BELGIUM PAGE ONE

A mysterious country, a "no-man's-land" of luke-warm political quagmires, a haven for shabbily-dressed beer drinkers, a sacreligious land where people worship statues of a little Golden Boy taking a pee... Belgium is all this and more.

We invite you to a sneak peak behind the shutters of a land of Fish Sticks and Sexual Mutations in our humble presentation of the Back Alleys and Streets of Antwerpen & Ghent.

Not much hype here.  Just a land of late-blooming flowers and crowded streets.  People mind their own business unless you poke them in the eye.  Then watch out.

Grafitti is an accepted way of life here, much like Fish Sticks and Bizarre Animal Sex.  But Europeans are all funny that way, you know?

Lotus, on the left, demonstrates the fear and anxiety of growing up straight in a predominantly gay society.  You are ostracized immediately, branded with a swastika on your forehead and forced to wear your hair like "Leave It To Beaver".

 

Fish-Sticks form an integral part of the Enlightened Diet in Belgium, as well as neighboring Holland and France.  No one admits it openly, in any of the 3 main dialects, but there are serious fish-stick addiction clinics opening up in every neighborhood.

Children are taught early that Fish Sticks are living entities and condolences and prayers to Norse Gods are part of the eating ritual.

Something about the Belgian way  of Life that is sinister and obscure - yet woven deeply into the fabric of their psyches.  This ambitious mural by an unknown artist demonstrates the subtle brain-washing techniques administered by the public school system in converting them all to Fish-Stick addicts at a tender young age.

Very few make it through the system unscathed.  Click here for a spectular SEZ1 PARANORMAL VIEW of this masterful glimpse into the secret Gestapo Brainwashing Techniques used on innocent children!

 

We can't comment enough on the Martian Dyke riding a primordial Serpent's back in a wild tribute to KD Lang and other singers of the fem-fem persuasion.  One poster says it all.  Note the contour of bricks in the background, a masterful choice of textures relegated only to the "creme de la crop" of Euro-Taggers.

To end our 1st installment on Belgium Graffiti, we need to salute the Freudian sensibilities of the local artists in Antwerp. Although this is a rendition of a dying sunflower, it is also an Ashtray Full of Tongues.

The message is succinct and sweet: what you don't smoke won't hurt you.  Perhaps a subliminal hint to the BC-Bud Bombers who won't hit the nozzle until they're well on the way to Nirvana.
