3D on the Russian Riviera
As part of the 2011 International Investment Forum, I was invited to the beautiful coastal city of Sochi, Russia, on the Black Sea, to create one of my 3D street painting images. Sochi is a lot like Santa Barbara or the Amalfi Coast in Italy – a gorgeous location with lots to do in the sun and sea. If you’re looking for a great vacation get away, this is it. The Sochi Park organization, who is currently constructing a new amusement park which will be opening in conjunction with the 2014 Olympic Games to be held in Sochi, asked for an image that showcased their new rides, the scenery of this lovely city and some of the folk tale characters that are near and dear to the Russian populations’ hearts. The image proved to be very popular with the public and local Russian TV had a field day with it. My clients were thrilled with the result, which was the best compliment for me. I suspect we’ll be seeing more 3D street art appearing (more…)

3d Street Painting – Spain

Our site was situated adjacent to the famous Plaza de Torros, where the Running of the Bulls takes place annually. Pamplona is a beautiful city that sits atop a hill over looking the valleys below.

New video posted on YouTube
Some of the best of my 3d chalk paintings over the past 2 years, this video highlights images created around the world for street painting festivals, event promotions, fundraising events, educational projects and tv segments. Most were created with chalk on pavement, but several were permanent installations using both paint and chalk – a new direction for me that I’m hoping to explore to the fullest. Additionally, 2010 proved to be a very active year for me, as I was able to complete 35 paintings throughout the course of the year – a personal record – of various sizes and subject matter. I hope you enjoy the paintings – stay tuned for more!
