The London Police is a collective based in Amsterdam. They have been working together for several years to bring their Street Art to cities all over the world, and they've been quite successful. They  push Urban Art a huge step away from graffiti tagging toward a unique brand of symbolic urban communication.

Flying Fortress, born and raised in Germany, is fortified with all sorts of funk and measure. The bold lines, colors and compositions are unmistakable. You don't want to miss the invasion.
