Stencils and Reverse Graffiti (Video)
Found out about this video a while ago and chose not to watch it because it was a product-corporate sponsored piece. Since then, at least three people on my travels have asked me if I knew about this video. So I watched it tonight and must admit that Moose's work is pretty damn interesting. So here it is for all who haven't seen it yet to enjoy.

Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce TAKE A DEEP BREATH, a group exhibition featuring new artworks by Asbestos, Cherri Wood, The Dark, Kngee and Know Hope.

Heya all. If you aren't lurking over at my blog sites, I'm posting stories and tales while on the road.
You can catch my posts at HappyFeetTravels.org on on my MySpace page. Hope to throw up photos too if time permits.
Lots of stencil goodness so far. Word to Genuis and Pochoir Filla in Eugene and props to Tiago, Kim, and Klutch here in Portland. Many other artists coming out and saying hi too.
Loving it!
