It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any street-art-related items on this blog. I’m notic­ing them all the time around Bal­ti­more, and hap­pen to live by this great block of murals on Howard street. Do you notice all of the lit­tle tags, stick­ers, and past­ings in your city? Below are the beau­ti­ful, lively, and the type of ...

Swoon’s Musical Architecture for New Orleans

07.05.2011 · Posted in community

I came across this today, and it looks to be pretty amaz­ing (if it reaches proper fund­ing!). The Brooklyn-based artist Swoon is props­ing to install a per­ma­nent, musi­cal inter­ac­tive sculp­ture in the Bywa­ter neigh­bor­hood of New Orleans. Here’s a descrip­tion of the project (from the Kick­starter site): It will look like a house, but it ...

Always a fan of Gaia’s work, he recently emailed me with some new work that’s up around Bal­ti­more. Hap­pen­ing upon his work is always great — it’s like find­ing money in your pocket. His newest pieces are large and ambi­tious, with even some doc­u­men­ta­tion of the actual appli­ca­tion of work. The fol­low­ing process shots were taken ...

07.29.2010 · Posted in community, fun, thursday round up

For the record, I don’t use sketch­books effec­tively as I should. Mine tend to be filled with scrib­bles, non sequiturs, and aren’t very exper­i­men­tal. The best sketch­books help artists to refine their style, and make it a safe place to “mess up” and try new things. For this Thursday’s round up, I’ve included some sketch­books ...
