The beginning stages

This was my 4th year participating in the Providence street painting festival and this time I did an 8 x 8 foot composition. My theme was the Rhode Island Red and I was kinda surprised by how fast it all came together. I would have wanted to push the design more but it was a windy day and all the chalk dust would blow away so I decided to just let it be. Over all I was content with the outcome. You can see more of my street painting pics here on my flick

I really enjoy being able to see the artistic process and end up appreciating it more because you see that it’s done by hand. These days you never know. Anybody can use a program. You can see more of Two Twelve’s work here

Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

I have been listening to “Everything That Happens Will Happen Today” by David Byrne and Brian Eno lately, and wanted to share it with anyone who is interested.

Also I was a little late on this but the very cool packaging for the album was designed by non other than Stefan Sagmeister.

Papergirl

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Papergirl #3 from Papergirl on Vimeo.

The project has been carried out once a year since 2006 and grows every constantly. In July 2008, for example, 76 artists from 9 different countries participated.

The basic idea with the project is to bring art to the public in a different way from normal; to surprise people and bring them into contact with art in their everyday life.

The initial impulse for this project came with the tightening of a law, in 2005, equating sticking up posters in public places with graffiti-spraying. But the idea of distributing art by bike came more from the search for new ways to bring art straight to society, and have more fun doing so, than out of fear of possible punishment. Papergirl is, in short: participatory, analogue, non-commercial and impulsive.
