November Paste

Cold morning exploring the old haunts up in Bushwick with White Cocoa. She completely obliterated me on this wall with this gorgeous piece! Get your drool sack ready...

New Mural w/ Cahil Muraghu

Painted yesterday with Cahil Muraghu over in Bushwick where we killed a suitcase of clogged, scrapped, and utterly unusable cans. Macgyver'd an impaling rod, inspired perhaps by my fanatic True Blood watching, to unpressurize the cans and explode the remaining color on the wall. Was an awesome day full of cheap tacos, new people, and supportive girlfriends. If you haven't seen Cahil's work yet, check it out! By far my favorite landscape painter rockin spray.

NY Times Story

I would have completely missed this if Joe Delappe hadn't forwarded it to me. I didn't think I'd ever be mentioned in the NY Times, but I'm just imagining it to be an early birthday present.

What seemed like it would only take a few days took almost a month as more and more people from the neighborhood came by to get their portrait added and chit chat. It was very Jane Jacobs-like hanging out their and getting to know the neighborhodd through and through. I'm really going to miss them now that it's done.

Mural on the way

I got an email a little while ago from someone who wants a mural on their house. It's a cool place just down the street from me in Bushwick and the guy works for a neighborhood blog called bushwickbk. More to come when I get back...

Mural in Bushwick w/Brokencrow

I was so caught up with my favorite people in the world that I didn't have 2 seconds to chill out and put a link of the mural we finished. Done in a mad-dashing 2 day period, Brokencrow and I cranked out this 20' x 80' wall for the Brooklyn Garment Washing Co. and our neighbors near the Jefferson L stop. Hopefully just the beginning...
