Shy Mob strikes again! This time it's the unhip UWS where little art is on the streets.
They say street art is all about the juxtaposition of the image and it's surrounding and I thought putting the "goal" image on the same corner as a funeral home was an interesting contrast. Maybe people arriving for services or waiting to travel to the cemetary will see it and reflect on why they are there and what they are doing in life. (as well as literally their objective [goal] that day is to go from the funeral home to the cemetary). Violet doesn't think as much of it as I do.
Yes, I know that my presentation skills need improvement and I'm working on my posting technique.
Here is another posting from the same night.
These are some of the new series of paintings I've been working on. They all use "found words" mostly stuff culled from the missed connections pages of craig's list. Done very quickly they are meant to have a sort of impromtu feeling that matches the immediacy of the sentence fragments.
They would look great as posters put up along side movie and record advertisments on construction site hoardings.

Last night I put up my first piece of street art! It's at West 4th and 8th Ave right outside S'nice (delicious lesbian health food). I'm mad now that I was nervous and rushed through the job so that one corner is folded over.
"Bully" is one of my favorite pieces. I created it when I was slaving away for a particularly vacuous entertainment cable network and my cash was being budgeted down to the dollar. It was a point where I felt especially pushed around by money. Granted this has a lot to do with one's personal relationship/philosophy with money but in this country's hyper-consumer environment it's hard not to feel a little intimidated by it.
