Né en Helvétie en 1976, je pratique le dessin et la peinture comme tout le monde depuis la maternelle. Mon grand père était céramiste d'art, il a reçu en 1972 le titre de meilleur ouvrier de France. Il m’a beaucoup apporté dans ce domaine. Mais malheureusement il n’aura vu que mes délires picturaux d’adolescent.
22 JUL: PaperMonster's "Give and Take"
PaperMonster's "Give and Take" Project continues to move forward as he explores the decay of colors and textures of city street by giving them new life. The project is a great example of street artists interacting and collaborating without ever meeting each other face to face. PaperMonster has an upcoming exhibition of works at the New York Times Building Times Center Gallery in NYC where he will showcase several new works on Wednesday July 22nd. For more info visit his site: (http://papermonster.wordpress.com)

Art using simple, circle stencils
"I think of myself of a collector of color. The paintings are manifestations of the collecting process. I use color to bring movement, emotion and temperament to the paintings."
M City, Blu: Belef 09/Belgrade Summer Festival
Start Time: Wednesday, July 22 at 12:00am
End Time: Wednesday, July 29 at 12:00am
Where: Belgrad
URL: Belef09
At the moment when Belgrade is facing a lack of exhibiting areas on one side and the development of alternative forms of expression through
street art of the younger generations of artists, we believe that the Belgrade Summer Festival can serve as a platform for researching the potential of pictures in public areas.
Stencil Naiton Photo Upload
First off, thanks so much for your patience. The site was down for a bit, but is back up and happy. Just uploading the quick piles today. That would be over 350 photographs from the Middle America tour last month. Just the general pics from the cities where I could find stencils.
Look for the next upload soon! This will be the individual artists, som San Francisco pics, and all the great submissions that have come in this past month.
Thanks again for visiting the site. The tour was fun. Priceless. Gratitude to everyone who played some part of the tour.
