A paper toy every day....

Utterly Fascinating I seriously have not been able to stop thinking about this since last night. Good is good, but proving your chops x 365 is awesome. I think serial actions speak in a very clear voice and I really like this guy's direction.

I made my pitch to an answering machine

I kinda figured they'd either like or hate the idea off the bat and therefore either call back or not, so the ball is rolling. Also, we've decided to toughen it up a bit and load it with more pop references, including 'billy's balloon' and bombs.

99 red balloon update-

I'm going to pitching this one to Zeitgeist either tomorrow or tuesday. Molly and I stopped by for a few drinks and got the office number today. I think painting this on the hostel would be amazing!

New Painting

Finished a new painting this weekend. Nice and simple, but trying to avoid the standard gesso white backgroud. I used a yellowy ochre paint for the background that is about 80% opaque, leaving the texture a bit up to randomness. The effect looks basic from a distance and gets a bit trippier up front--it breaks down into ellipses and hourglasses. Potentially showing at a gallery next week, so this will find a new home soon.

Thank You, Everyone!

I just want to say thank you to everyone for helping make this project such a success! Ian (spiderman), TQ, DQ, Molly, Ben, Jeff, Geoff, Tom, Lizzie, Tyler, Christina, Tomasz, Eris, Trisha, Random Guy, Cody and anyone I may have missed, you all rocked this thing.

This has kinda got me thinking about making this an ongoing project. What would you guys think about doing this once every month or so? I'll book the wall and we swarm upon it and do something awesome. How many times do you walk/drive/ride by some mural in this city and think to yourself that the true geek value of this city just isn't on display. I know there is no official geek district of this city, but I really think this whole city is pretty much official geek territory. I think we're onto something here and we can should bring geek to the street. And for my first idea that's good for any type of wall. This would be a stencil based project, guaranteed to bring out your inner-banksy.
