Example

Placed in Mendon, Michigan

I've been experimenting with "street art" stencils lately. The deer painting was my first attempt. I used acrylic on cardboard. Eventually I'll try spray painting.... These pieces were left in public places for people to find.

NoLa RISING Art Submission

Example
Example

Recently I submitted a cardboard painting to the NOLA RISING Free Art Campaign. According to the NOLA RISING website: "NoLa Rising is a post-Katrina art campaign encouraging people in all faubourgs of Greater New Orleans to publicly display works of art, regardless of how simple or untutored it may seem to be, for the purpose of rebuilding and restoring the human spirit in our city. NOLA is a unique and beautiful city that has historically embraced the spirit of personal freedom that supports the growth of the artist, musician and writer ... the goal of the NoLa Rising Project is to showcase that spirit."

Many thanks to Rex Dingler for taking the photo of the woman who chose to take my painting home.

Additional photos of the free art event can be seen here:

Guerrilla Art - Barcelona, Spain

Example
I recently received an email from an individual living near Barcelona, Spain. She generously offered to place some guerrilla art around her neighborhood for me. This is the batch of Sharpie drawings that's heading her way. (Since she's so kind, she gets to keep a few for herself.)
