New work completed for film project

2012-01-11T09:00:00.000-08:00

This is work done by a local artist which was completed as part of an independent video project I'm supporting done by a local student documenting the artist behind the can. Keep posted for updates and new work as it gets done.

changing a community through art

2011-10-12T08:55:00.001-07:00

The work shown here was installed on a wall located on the corner of Tobey and Broadway st in providence RI. The wall was a victim of a lot of tagging done by many different people. Through work I have done with other property owners and the city of Providence. It took me over a year to get permission to install a piece on this wall to help solve the issues the property owner has had for many years.

During the time frame of this installation we were approached by over 300 people passing this corner through out the day, every person made a point to say how much they were happy to see this style of art installed and wished their was much more around the city. I also found it interesting to see how so many different people was affected by seeing the installation of public art in their community.

To date the work has been up for 1 week with no negative actions done to this wall, which shows how public art can help solve the larger problem which exists in Providence and other cities. I'm excited to work in partnership with this local artist to help change the community in a positive way using Large Format Public Art.

about 2 months ago, I took a walk over the 195 old highway, this section of highway is know being torn up. below are a few pics of throw ups and burners which I saw, they are quite faded but are strong examples of work being done in the Providence RI. Enjoy as all this work is currently being destroyed, and thrown in a dump.

Update on FH13 bathrooms

2010-06-22T11:34:00.000-07:00

Week did this mural last year for a street art show, cool to see people filled in the "hello my name is" tag instead of covering the walls and mural with tags.

2010-06-22T11:31:00.000-07:00

I have to give props to one of our new artist who has been working with my staff WIZART for the past few months, he has been putting in some long hours starting with his black book and markers to using cans. This is his first character, which is very impressive.

Prey, Azek, Kems...I am really glad to see a new Prey piece back in Providence...If you didn't know...Prey was one of the style pioneers of RI's graff scene. In the early to mid 90's, along with the UPS crew, prey established a very unique style and conquered virgin tunnel spots with whole wall productions. Some of the first real deal productions to ever be done in Providence...

Also, I would like to note that Azek is from oversees and is a really nasty writer!

Pics from the Brown University demonstration

2009-05-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

The jam went really well. Lots of kids showed up to tag up the car and try out the Montana Gold spray paint. They also had a good grip of questions that the artists answered as best as they could. There was also a surprise visit from the legendary Vase one and he schooled the kids on the history of the graffiti game from New York to Rhode Island. I am pretty sure Brown University will be hanging up the pieces of plywood in one of there buildings for some eye candy display. Here are some flicks from the event.

The Green at Brown University

2009-05-08T05:56:00.000-07:00

Yarrow's cans will be having graffiti workshop at 6 - 9 pm on the Brown University green. Please come by and see two graffiti artists on display. Ask questions, talk about techniques, even try out some of your skills with some montana gold spray paint. You can't beat this event!!! Stop being lazy and check out the talent of our local artists that have mad knowledge and mad skills!

In Stock!!!

2009-05-04T14:14:00.000-07:00

Great thing about this blog is, lets say you forget your camera when you paint, more then likely I will be able to catch flicks of what you paint. Not only will you see it shine on this blog but you can click on the images, go to the flickr account, and download a variety of pic sizes so you can have a good flick of your ish...amazingly convenient, especially for the cats that don't even have a camera!v Also, if you don't have photoshop, I will make a connector flick of the whole wall you cats do. A connector flick always puts a wall in good perspective...

this last piece, I think is a really innovative one...first guacamole piece I have ever seen...nice job Peresh!!
