Having a time in the archives.
It's time for the desert wild.Time for an island, get drunk, write and sail.

Process: You can't go back the way you came
The time has come for me to try and figure out how to paint as opposed to colour in large sections of canvas.As this post suggests, I have no idea what I'm doing ever... but none-the-less, here's how I'm doing it.
At this point my parents got awkward about the really shit thing I was making."They're... nice... colours."
Mum teaches kinder kids, so she knows how to compliment things that represent a similar skill-level.
That weird jaundiced colour was caused by it being night-time when I got done, and there was a bit of a wet paint slick whacking shit out up the top.But I like her enough.
It's my first painting in ages.
Love letter to ESPO
Love Letter to Syracuse from Maarten Jacobs on Vimeo.
I remember first getting into street/urban art by way of the Stencil Revolution site, and then Wooster Collective. Wooster Collective was the first place I saw Espo's work and was totally blown away, but not quite comprehending.Stephen 'ESPO' Powers has a clean, nostalgic sign-writer style and packs the sort of wisdom that makes you hope, selfishly, that it's your world he's commenting on.
And his "Love Letter to Syracuse"... love and wit coming together in big big big sign writing prowess is nothing short of rad. And according to Juxtapoz's site, Faythe Levine and Samuel Macon have made a short film about Syracuse, too.
But how nice it must be to drive past snippets of Love on your way home from work or the supermarket.
