Cleaning the garage, which have been filled up for the last 30 years, i discovered an old Polaroid Camera.
Not knowing how to use it, or if it was even working, i decided to play with it, ordered films (expensive films!) and 3 weeks later, here i am, completely addicted to this new toy.
Each picture is instant, and hm, expensive (a 8 pictures film is 18 Euros, that makes 2 Euros per picture!), and you have little control on how the result will be. However, the results are precious, romantic, spontaneous little slice of life, which you can hold onto, and i just love it.
My guerilla inspiration cards are now available as a free badge to add to your site. The inspiration badge is made so that you can add it to your blog, either as a blog post, or as a badge in your sidebar (as seen on this blog). The image in the widget will be updated by me once a week.
I dont know what to do with this piece. I started it thinking it could be a magazine spread, and it ended up as a huge 16 x 8 inch print out. One more in the pile of my unused work, because of lack of energy and focus about how to promote my art.
The piece express the way i feel about all the substitution of happiness which i see in our culture, and maybe you can feel how saddened i am about this… how i wish my art could sparkle something in the viewer… wake up dear soul!
I’d like to see this piece displayed on fast food chain tables, instead of the traditional advertising for… more junk.
I found this Quality vs Quantity helper on Caterina.net, and judging by the amount of people who faved it on flickr, i am not the only one in serious need of guidance to reinvent the meaning of productivity (can one be productive by working just some hours each day?).
As always, these rules look rather simple to follow, but i would like to team up with you and try to really live by these rules for 7 consecutive days – would you join? I would suggest we do the test from next monday on, and try for some days to have the feeling that we’re on top of things (!).
I’ve been quiet here, focusing on RIT (really important things) as you know – but here are some goodies to spread some love and light around, and for the braves ones feeling the Guerilla artists in themselves…
These are sets of 5 glossy postcards for you to challenge and infuse your neighborhood with uplifting slogans. These postcards can be:
sent to your best friends, enemies, mayor, prime minister
used as guerilla art in your town: leave on car windshields, drop in mailboxes, pin on boards, forget between cans or magazines at the grocery, leave in waiting rooms and coffee places
framed, they’ll be a great reminder of wisdom for you
postcards are made to decorate fridge doors, so this option must absolutely be considered.
Slogans are: SLOW DOWN – TRUST YOURSELF – CHALLENGE FEAR – SPEND LESS, CARE MORE – WORRY LESS, LAUGH MORE – DRIVE A NEW ROAD – PLAY! – WEARING COLORS WON’T HURT – REMEMBER YOUR DREAM
Price is 10$ for a set of 5 postcards wrapped together with love and plastic. Free Shipping. *Please let me know which of the 5 slogans you want, or i’ll send you an inspired selection!*
Also keep in mind that all my creations are limited editions, so grab yours while it’s there

Wisdom
« If you exist in a feeling of love - if you can find it in everything you do, transmit it through your touch, through your words, eyes, and feelings - you can cancel out with one act of love thousands of acts of a lower nature. »
