Guerrilla Art - 2008 Year End Wrap Up

Example
These photos somehow "slipped through the cracks" and never made their way to the blog until now. I believe all three photos depict free art left on the streets of Kalamazoo, MI. Hopefully the pieces have all found happy homes.

2008 was a stellar year for guerrilla art. My art was seen on the streets of Chicago, San Francisco, Hollywood, New Orleans, Hawaii, Australia, Brasil, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, United Kingdom, Tel Aviv and many others.

Illustration Friday - Voices

Example
Originally this was going to be an illustration of John Candy. As I was trying to capture his likeness the facial features seemed more fitting for an aging rock star. As I was searching for rock star photo references I stumbled upon Brett Michaels (Voice of Poison) and James Hetfield (voice of Metallica). I used photo references of Brett Michaels' cowboy hat and the mouth from James Hetfield. This was the result.

Private Collections Photos

Example
Here a couple pics from people who sent photos of what they've done with my art (or rather their art). It's always nice to see my art in their new homes... I wish I had more to show.

Guerrilla Art - Richmond, Virginia

Example
Richmond, VA has an up and coming Free Art movement entitled the "Real Small Art League". The league is headed by a gal named Tiffany Glass Ferreira who has a unique approach using google maps to track free art pieces.

A number of months ago she placed some of my pieces in unique spots around Richmond, VA. One of those unique places happened to be the VCUArts Anderson Gallery.

If anyone is interested in having their art placed in Richmond, VA visit this site for more information:

Guerrilla Art - Brasil

Example
My flickr buddy http://www.flickr.com/photos/solaeacomediadavidaseca/ placed some of my art on the streets of brasil for people to find, take home and enjoy.

These pieces were painted on cardboard using a hand-cut stencil and spray paint.
