Possible Street Art Idea
I wonder if this would work as a street art idea. The concept is non-smoking or at least contemplating your lungs as living breathing things. It would be interesting to work on this and talk to people about what it might mean while working. That's a nice thing about doing public art.

Down the Line!
Another shot from this photographer. I like the way the contrast is fancied up, and the colors intensified.
OK, Here is how it began...
On March 6th I was snapped by this photographer starting my 4x4 square with other artists in Glendale. It's actually an event sponsored by the Scottsdale Airpark Rotary, but they held it on the street by Glendale's Murphy Park. Then we were rained out the second day. Pictures of the event to follow...eventually.
My gratitude to this photographer for the photo. Now I see why I hurt so badly for two entire days afterwards. Oh, those achey muscles!

Not the Cat, the Other One
This year I had little time to prepare for the street painting, and enjoyed it very much. Maybe I should stress less and enjoy it more. Here is one of the photos taken by a passing photographer - with a fisheye lense no less. No, mine isn't the one with the cat: it is the Buddha with flower to its right. More about this later.

Sketch on Black
I would probably never do "Star Trek on the Street", but last night sketched this from a paused DVD of Deep Space Nine. It was fun and good practice balancing out moving from black to light and creating brights. Well ... I should never say never. It might be fun to do street art for a big Star Trek convention somewhere. It would be weird and funky and...fun.
I heard from the Via Colori festival last night, confirming my registration for March 6-7th in Glendale. This year I signed up for a 4 x 4 foot square instead of the bigger 6 x 6 one. I hope I don't regret it, but working smaller may give me more leisure to enjoy the process.

Old Book Cover Simulates Asphalt
The other good surface to simulate asphalt is roofing paper. I have a big, old roll out on the patio. And there are a couple of lovely chiaroscuro drawings I want to copy as practice. And nothing can equal Michael Newberry's tutorials for getting insight into pastel on dark.
