European Street Art & Graffiti by Invader | Clet Abraham & More

I snapped these while on vacation in Poland, London, Ireland and France in October.   Some artists spotted were Invader & Clet Abraham. Very cool paste-ups, a crocheted bicycle, and random other pieces found.  I was surprised at the lack of street art in London.  I guess that has to do with the CCTV’s on every single inch of the country.

My Painting Makes Cameo In Groupon Commercial

Wow I’m famous! Not really, but one of my paintings got a little on-wall exposure as an extra in this Groupon commercial.   The split-second magic starts (and pretty much ends) at marker 1:02. And if you’re interested, check out the somewhat time-lapse video of the painting process HERE.

The painting has since been sold.

Artist Gary Schwartz’ Giant Camera Obscura in Detroit

Man, there is some great artwork coming from Detroit lately.  Makes me miss the city greatly.  Local artist Gary Schwartz (with a little help from Joseph Krause) created a giant camera obscura in an abandoned(?) home that’s part of Imagination Station by stapling large sheets of paper to the walls, boarding up the windows leaving small nickel sized holes to let light in from outside.  It creates this crazy upside down live “stream” from Michigan Central Depot and Roosevelt Park.

Russell Brand’s New Movie Weekend at Arthur’s

Dudley Moore must be rolling over in his grave….. to reach for a razor to kill himself.   Russell Brand stinks. He seems to be the UK version of Dane Cook.  As Charlie Brown would say, “Blech!”  This is what I think of the new Arthur movie.  When making this I decided that Liza Minnelli’s hair was actually cooler looking so I went with Rusty’s wig instead.

Spice 1, Tupac & Tystik Are Notorious Bastards

New album design I made for the upcoming mix album Notorious Bastards: Volume 1 featuring Spice 1, Tystik, 2Pac, Twista, Scarface and more legendary hip-hop pioneers.  Check out Future Star Music and Deanland Studios to listen to some tracks.  They even made background wallpapers of the album that you can download for free to put on your grandma’s desktop.
