A sketch from the new mural project I have been working on in Philadelphia in tandem with The Miss Rockaway Armada, The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and a bunch of local philly kids.

Some of us Rockaway folk did a similar project last year with kids in west philly. If you didn’t see the project from last year, you can check it out here.

Toronto Street Advertising Takeover

iminentdisaster — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 01:03:25 +0000

From the Public Ad Campaign’s Website ” Public Ad Campaign acts on the assumption that public space and the public’s interaction with that space is a vital component of our city’s health. By visually altering and physically interacting with the public environment, residents become psychologically invested in their community.

Outdoor advertising is the primary obstacle to open public communications. By monetizing public space, outdoor advertising has monopolized the surfaces that shape our shared environment. Private property laws protect the communications made by outdoor advertising while systematically preventing public usage of that space.

In an effort to illuminate these issues, Public Ad Campaign uses outdoor media venues for public art, chronicles the activities of artists intent on challenging public/private relationships, as well as other engaging contemporary issues in outdoor advertising and public space.

Through bold acts of civil disobedience we hope to air our grievances in the court of public opinion and witness our communities regain control of the spaces they occupy.”

Messages in a Bottle on a Wall in Philly

iminentdisaster — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 23:31:45 +0000

Been in philly for the past few weeks working with a few lovely Miss Rockaway folks and a group of about thirty 10 yr old kids to design a collaborative mural. After a few rounds of a modified exquisite corpse based on the idea of passing “messages in a bottle” to other groups of kids across the city, we collected and compiled their drawings into one design. 85% of the design is straight out of kid-land.
