"Your visual has been kidnapped. This is a part of my hostage. Pay now!" wrote French street artist, ZEVS boldly to a huge advertiser. He also sent them a paper finger from the hand of a model 'heisted' from one of their billboards. Adams&Itso built a house under the central station in Copenhagen -- illegally, of course. Lastly, female street artist SWOON, feeling guilty from commercialising and selling her art, continues to put up her work on the street, hoping to make someone's day.

All these are part of "Inside Outside," a documentary focusing on evolving graffiti.

Today Chiemi Isozaki of PingMag had a chat with one of the two directors, Danish Andreas Johnsen, who dropped by Tokyo for its DVD release.
