2009-08-05T13:54:00.004-04:00

Tomorrow night Thursday 6th Aug from 6-8pm is the official opening of Art in the Park in Elm Park. the word on the street is that the artists will be there and available for brain picking about their work. The work has been up for a week or so now and we have been over there a few times already showing our out of town guest this lovely exhibition. So much of the work is sooooo brilliant this year we can't get enough of it. Hopefully this will continue to be an anual event and maybe we will submit something! Oooo soo much fun! Enjoy everyone!

Peace.

Free Art and Technology's Latest Project: Obey vs AP

2009-05-28T14:24:00.003-04:00

HUGE props to the folks over at Free Art and Technology for their new project, "Intellectual Property Asshole Competition: Obey vs Ap". Now I know a lot of peeps in the area are all about Shepard Fairy being at Boston's ICA and to tell the truth we kinda like some of his work AND we even have been planning to visit the ICA to check out the exhibition. Saying that we still have to agree that the whole fiasco between Shepard and the AP is a bit of a joke. So we find Free Art and Technology's project just brilliant and a belly full of laughs.

(We still think Banksy is WAY better. heehee)

FreeArt is back on the streets of Worcester!

Okay so this one was painted at the end of last season but we put it out on Pleasant and Huntley today. We've got a handful of brand new work to get out this week and then we begin painting the dozen or so panels that we just cut up from an old crate. Keep your eyes wide open, you may even see us discreetly leaving these around town in the daylight. Say hello, if you can catch us!

This honestly has nothing to do with us but since it is in the spirit of FreeArt we wanted to give a shout out to those who are responsible for the Worcester Free Art Gallery in Worcester, England. wooohooo!

The original link to the newspaper article is dead so we've redirected to another blogger who has written about it.

Love Winter But...

2009-02-25T13:04:00.003-05:00

Hey Everyone!

We NEVER complain about New England winters because we LOVE snow sooo much. But today we're starting to get a little itchy for Spring so we can start distributing FreeArt again this year.

We miss you!

Happy Holidays!

To everyone out there in Worcester and beyond...

Thank you for visiting our blog, enjoying our street art, leaving us comments and helping to make Worcester a brighter place. May everyone have a great 2009.

See you in the Spring, Peace!

Moose: The UK's Clean Graffiti Artist

2008-12-15T10:30:00.004-05:00

We just came across this great story on NPR and to my surprise it is a little old, from 2004. I'm sorry I missed seeing his work while we were stomping around the UK back then but it is worth a look. The Leeds based graffiti artist is a CLEAN graffiti artist removing dirt from the urban landscape to reveal his artwork.

Brilliant concept, street art comes is all forms!!! Wish they had thought about something a little cleaner during the Start on The Street Festival. The booth numbers left behind all up and down Park Ave. really bug us. Why does the city allow that with no clean up?

Ahhhhh, we've missed this town + so sweet it is to be back bumbling 'round on it's gritty streets. This place has evolved so much in the last 12 years since the IRA bombed it and they had to rebuild a good chunk of the city center. And it keeps on changing, so many new crazy cool buildings had begun being built while we lived her for 5 years and they are all pretty much finished. But the city hasn't stopped there even since our last visit in Jan. so much more cool stuff has popped up. And despite all the new sleek buildings and new facades going up, Manchester retains it's edge through all it's musical and visual arts talent.

We forgot our camera cable so we won't be able to post any new photos till be get back in 2 weeks but we wanted to give a shout out to a new gallery here in Manchester that we visited earlier in the week. It's called Upper Space and features the best UK and international street artists work. The guy who opened this place is also responsible for the killer events held here, London and elsewhere called International Doodle Bug Day. For a few years it was held at Manchester's art house cinema, ConerHouse. Basically on this one day peeps could come in show um' your sktechbook and you'd be let loose on the walls of the cafe and on the windows then the work was left up for almost a month. Wouldn't that be a wicked cool event to see happen in Worcester?!!! Just maybe, one day...

Check out the Upper Space and get a taste of what could be ours if we got a few of us together!

Peace.
