Husk Mit Navn was everywhere in town, going by bicycle with paint in the basket. The inhabitants had great fun looking for yet new pieces. They all are communicating with their surroundings, all have a humorous twist. I am not sure if I found all of them, but here are what I found:
On the shed of the building where Vhils' baker had his bakery
The seaside of the same shed
At the maritime petrol station
On a harbour building (the same as where E.B. Itso's "Sea Fever" is)
The same harbour building
Inside the same harbour building
Workers inside the harbour building
Another "worker"
On a place swarming with stray cats, close to Conor Harrington's yellow wall
Signature piece
On a boat next to E.B. Itso's "Drift"
On the old cinema, restored for Komafest
On a private garage, lucky owner!
Signature piece - Husk Mit Navn (Remember My Name) - Of course we will!
