My 8×8 square
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
Last week was my official 1st beach day of the year. It was a beautiful day and the beach was packed. G and I made this fun sculpture and went swimming in the ocean. And best of all we got decent tans and no burns. Yippee!!
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

Peonies 2008 By Catherine Kehoe oil on panel 8″x8″
I believe this was my favorite painting that I saw at first friday in boston’s south end.
I just couldn’t get enough of it.
Since I have had TRASH on the brain from my little experiment, and I volunteer at an animal shelter this project by EDING:POST really spoke to me.
Maybe people will think differently about what they throw away.

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.
I could not resist posting this fantastic exhibit. I am more drawn to new and inventive ways of cleaning up our planet. It is amazing to see how are trash out lives us. Check out Clear Art Planet. They have a nicely designed website.

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.
