The Waste Department of the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch called on the help of Kings of Colors in 2021 to start transforming the boring metal containers in the city into beautiful colorful works of art.

These were painted by DOPIE.

Tom Linnenbank (‘83) is a well-known graffiti artist from Arnhem (NL). He has been active in the Dutch 'graffiti/street art scene' for over twenty years under the name Dopie. Inspired by graffiti on the subway cars in his hometown Amsterdam, he started exploring his artistic talents, painting his Dopie moniker on concrete walls and trains. A few years later, wanting to push his boundaries, he started practicing elaborate characters.

Nowadays, Dopie’s work is a well-balanced mixture of realism and more traditional graffiti. He is particularly well known for his use of bold colors and his remarkable depiction of a wide variety of animals.
