Here’s a couple gates and sticks in my beloved Toronto!

POSTERCHILD-I AM International Gates & Fencing.

Speaking of Toronto, If you are in it tonight, you should come out to this!

My buddies Sean and Eric are a part of it!

You could also come out to this!

Last Sunday, the 25th, the volunteers of NYSAT 2 hit the streets and did their level best to whitewash illegal advertisements and install artwork in NYC. For my part, I joined with my team- “Team Awesome” or “Team Tonic” (TONYC) – made up of the fabulous TEETH, the intrepid Sean Martindale and Eric Cheung, and the extraordinary I AM.

We strategized. We schemed. We divided up and recombined, Voltron-Style, to conquer.

Below is a video of all the work that our team put up on illegal NPA outdoor advertising billboards. (Except for Eric’s, which I didn’t get any shots of, but you can check out here.)

NPA was out in force this time. Details are still coming in, but it would seem that there were several heated confrontations with NPA’s thuggish employees, and about 7 arrests of participants. Watch Public Ad Campaign for more details. In our case, we were able to avoid any problems again (Team Awesome!) even though NPA was quite active in our area; our works were covered quickly and several of our works ended up on top of freshly pasted ads because NPA got to the whitewashed billboards before we could. In fact, the billboards were sometimes still slick with paste- paste that we were able to take advantage of and put to good use.

Thanks again to Jordan Seiler for organizing this import event. Best of luck to those dealing with arrests- know that you’ve got our suppot. NPA, I think that you’re going to have to deal with this, this time. Your chickens are coming home to roost.

I had more help from the P3 dudes on this one, and TEETH joined us too!

Two people held either end of the stencil up, while 2 people sprayed. The plan was to do the whole wall this way, moving along nice and quickly as a team!

But I was trying to get rid of some old crappy paint. The cans stalled, the shitty-thick paint built up too fast, the stencil buckled, and we only got so far…

Still… looks nice in the sun!

The pattern is taken from an etched window. You can find this window in historic, picturesque Kingston- Limestone City, our nations first capitol!

Last thing I’ll post from that night,

A simple folding technique, inspired by the P3 dudes!

Mad Indeed!

We also threw up a whole bunch of googly-eyes that I’ve had lying around…

Googly-eyes and glowsticks, how can you not have a good night with that combo?

Not sure what to write here…

Seems that I dump most of my lil’ thoughts and cool links into twitter these days.

Today I’ll try and get my twitter feed to display on Blade Diary!

We came across these torn posters! The way they were torn, their colours, it was all perfect!

OK!

I’m taking a bit of time off work, and so updates around here ought to be more regular! More regular and more awesome.

I recently went on a walk with the excellent poster pocket planter dudes. I brought some glowsticks and we used them to highlight things that were missing around the city. It worked out pretty well, if I do say so myself!

We have more collabos planned. Stay tuned!

More Celosias for your ass! Pow!

So I found myself on a sudden four-day trip to NYC last week! It was great!

While I was there I managed to get some Celosias into a Poster Pocket Planter! If you haven’t seen these before, they are the brainchild of my fellow Torontonians Eric Cheung and Sean Martindale.

I’ve meet with them. Good dudes. You might be excited to know that we have schemed together. We have made plans to collaborate! YES WE HAVE INDEED.

They have also posted the above pics of this installation to the projects official site! Check it out!
