3D Lynx Attract hits the UK streets
Check out my latest: Just created - a 3d street chalk image for LYNX ‘Attraction Chaos’ in the UK. Aiming to ‘unleash the chaos’, this painting showed up on the streets of Birmingham. Locals at Victoria Square are having a blast interacting with the chaotic image and getting their pics clicked!
Check out this quick stop motion of the process:
‘Attraction frenzy has started to seep into the UK consciousness as rumours surrounding a new Lynx fragrance have been spreading like wildfire. Speculation has been rife that Lynx, the brand famed for giving guys the edge in the mating game, is set to bring chaoes to the UK by giving the Lynx effect to women as well. Lynx can reveal that for the first time in history it’s latest fragrance – Lynx Attract – will be available both ‘For Him’ and ‘For Her!’

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…)

It’s my honor and privilege to announce that I’ve been awarded the Extreme Art Award in the Painting category of the First Annual 2011 Society of Unique Artist’s Awards! Featuring the most extreme and unique art forms of the year, the event was created to advance SUA’s non-profit mission of promoting unique art forms, in hopes of filling a void in the larger art world.

So many amazing artists representing the best in ice sculpture, sand art, food sculpture, performing arts, solo performers, painting and unusual unique arts.

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. Charming cafes, churches, shops and bar/restaurants keep the city pulsing with life and activity. (more…)

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!
