Take that New York Art Culture

Joe Delappe just forwarded me this article in the NY Times about the Dada Hotel project. It's a dense story with a slideshow to boot. So what are you doing? Check it out!

A bit of background //
The Dada Hotel was the brain child of neon-anarchist Jeff Johnson and artist gone tweety Chad Sorg. Together they've been cultivating Reno's crop through alternative venues such as hotels (read, derelict drug dens).

The El Cortez became the official batcave 3 years ago and they've been having the annual Dada Hotel there ever since. However the list of collaborative artists is growing and the overflow is crossing Arlington to nearby hotels and motels.

So what's next for Johnson and Sorg? At this rate we may see the making of 'Mr. Tumbleweeds Takes Washington'.

Blasting Off To Outer Space

Lynn Maharas and my game Ran Some Ransom won Best Use of Space at the 2009 Come Out & Play Festival. If you didn't get a chance to play this weekend you can learn more about our game on the site Ran Some Ransom. Expect more location-based projects from us in the future.

Ran Some Ransom

Stop by the Come Out And Play FESTIVAL this Fri, Sat, and Sun. at Times Square to play some awesome FREE games out in the streets! Lynn Maharas and I created Ran Some Ransom which will be happening throughout the weekend. And if you aren't into physical games than come for the mind games created by the city of NY through it's banishment of cars in Times Square. Truly a crazy scene in itself! Hope to see you there.

It's all about technique

This lends way too many ideas on how to paint my next mural.
