Dutch artist Don Slizerone transformed this dispenser ('eenarmige bandiet') into a colorful character for the Oude Markten Street Art Takeover, organized by Writer's Block Murals. Together with the wastebin and - as a surprise- the lamp post ("must have been the wind"), they make a perfect trio.
Don Slizerone: "Because of the distinctive shape of the dispenser, the idea to make a guy with a helmet was quickly born. I already had two sketches ready and then got informed the location would be somewhere else than initially planned. Due to psychic telekinesis (or just pure luck), the colors of the sketch matched the surrounding building of the art deco façade on the other side of the water perfectly. Later, the wastebin became part of the project as well. And since ‘three is a crowd’, I added the lamppost into the artwork as well to join it all together."
