They Live (1989), Shepard Fairley "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (1989)

I travel the world looking for Street Art. Public Masterpieces. Play Grounds. Places of Rest.

Writing on the Wall.

Work, Design. What is your aim?

My thoughts are fragmented and I feel like I am having fun putting the pieces together. Trying to figure out time and space. Future? Plans.

HERE IS WHAT A FEW OTHER RELATIVE AUTHORITIES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT STICKERS:

Dalek – Graffiti writer, known for his space monkeys
#1 Stickers are a great way to meet people.
#2 I like stickers because they are fun to slap all over the place.
#3 It is a great way to get your imagery out all over the world.
#4 People love stickers.
#5 I like to collect stickers. They are like toys…or trading cards.
#6 It’s like getting up.
#7 They look good in bathroom stalls.
#8 They are easier to carry about than a can of flat black.
#9 I just want to be like Shepard Fairey.
#10 Beats wheat pasting.
#11 They are great for taping up boxes.
#12 Can be used to get the lint off of my black shirts."

I am going to make art. OR sleep and rest and get inspired to make art.

Apologies for the scattered thoughts. I am hoping to return to this with a better eye and edit the content. I appreciate all the resources that have been published. Wheels have already been made. We just need to use them and work together. Ever try to push a cart when the wheels were pointed in different directions? Or stuck with junk in the axels.

Obey reminded me of "They Live" (1989)

Joy!

I have so much coming up and I feel like I just need to let it come out of me. Bleh!

BREATHE.

I traveled! I traveled a lot and met cool people along the way. Thank you so much for being part of the journey. What can I do to give back?


Here is the future I am anticipating. BAM!

First, I need to deal with my art shows. What am I saying? What needs to happen?
This has all been done before. Low-stress. Be cool.

Feliz Navidad 2016!

I have lost a lot in this year. It has been a good year. I have also made some gains. Made. Some. Gains.

I have much to catch up on. I have only one week off before the beginning of 2017. 20 - 17. Agh.

There was Montreal. Lyra. Core de Force. BBT. Roda. Work. Energy. I keep busy.

FELIZ NAVIDAD! I think I can consider December 25th to be my saint's day. Natalie. natal. Child born on Christmas. Cool! New perspective on this holiday that I hadn't considered before.

I am looking forward. I am feeling happy. Last year was something else. I had no idea where I was going. I still don't but there are some places I would like to visit. I would like experiences. I want music. I want lights. I want warmth. I want water. I would be happy surrounded by air. I do have a long list and journals filled with dreams.

My friend shared this:The Tail End by Tim Urban.
It is about the time we have and how we choose to spend it.

Here is what I wish for the future... there is much more but I want to share these.

Holidays with family! Loving celebrations!
