3D Illusion House – Home Square Mall, Hong Kong, China
The day after……it’s all behind me but still so much a part of my consciousness. The 3D Illusion House street art installation is now complete and open to the public! To open the house we celebrated with full ceremonies yesterday, including everyone from Home Square, our PR agency, our booking agency, tons of media from all over HK, and various invited guests.
Dim Sum in Sha Tin!
Wrapping up a 10 day street painting event in glorious Hong Kong where I was commissioned to create 4 interactive chalk art images on a series of multiple surfaces – walls and floors in a variety of combinations. The uber cool thing was that I discovered a way to make the creations permanent, as in usable for 2+ months! Not giving away any secrets, I think this is the start of an entirely new way of working for me. More updates and photos coming soon!
3D street painting at Lincoln City, Oregon
I’ve recently had an opportunity to participate as a guest street painter in the Lincoln City Visitors Bureau sponsored Lincoln City Art Festival, held in the Taft area of town, near the beach. It was a small festival geared mostly for children, with loads of hands on free projects for them to partake of – tessellation projects, a magic castle made from recycled cardboard, street painting (of course), face painting and a variety of other art related activities. Local artisans came out in the questionable weather to ply their goods – jewelry, pottery and glass, which Lincoln City is most known for.

I Madonnari Festival 2009 – Santa Barbara, California
Another year has come and gone and I find myself with a little case of post festival blues after completing my 12th year at the Santa Barbara I Madonnari Street Painting Festival. The festival celebrated 23 years this past weekend and the public support could not have been better. In the wake of the terrible fires that have decimated much of the local community, Santa Barbara came out in force to support this unique event.

Art Along the Rogue 2008 – ‘Persephone Falling into Hades’
This year I was invited back to charming Grant’s Pass, Oregon to participate in the 6th annual Art Along the Rogue Street Painting Festival. I had last participated in 2006 and was looking forward to seeing my Oregonian friends for another weekend of great art and great music. This festival is spearheaded by Jeff Jones, a musician and art lover, along with the community of Grant’s Pass; they always do a great job at making us ‘out of towners’ feel welcome.
This year the festival had a theme – classical reproductions. Renaissance, Baroque, Pre-Raphaelite, Neo-Classical, Impressionism – anything by a great master. Jeff asked me if I could participate in (more…)
