Long Week

 

Well I finally failed! Looks familiar right? I Promise I have new things cooking just a victim of circumstance:

The ONE night I had set out to put something new up there was a thunder/hail/snow storm all in one night! Shit is messed. THEN another night I went out to put up a different project and that whole operation completely crumbled on me as well! Even today when I put this drop up I had to run all the way back home before I could take a photo for the blog because my memory card wasnt formatted right. Fuck I wish the warm weather would stick around for more then a few days in a row.

Speaking of, if you haven't heard yet, Fargo is not only in the running for the Toughest Weather City Tournament but we're also about to win!

Truckers

This lovely snarling face can be found at a rest stop halfway between Fargo and the Twin Cities. He guards truckers and traveling families while they poop. This sticker/stencil is an old one I tend to use a lot. It's been noted as being "Banksy-esque" which I can't decide humors me or pisses me off due to every college art fuck thinking that any piece of art on the street, that isn't a throwie, "reminds them of Banksyyyy". Yuk.

Also! Just got back from the cities today where I got this sticker cut. It ripped when I put it up but I think it gets the point across just the same.

I'll count it

Keeping up with getting a new piece out there every week is proving to be a little more challenging than I initially expected. But if I can finish this in 2 minutes then I'll have technically made it in under a week!

Tonight we have an old framed print of a kid...sniffing his hand? I bought it for 2 bucks at a pawn shop for the frame, but then decided to do a blind collaboration with the original artist. Mounted on a nail sticking out of the brick wall, this little boy's contradictory themes will either give someone a good laugh or piss them right off ha.

Also! check out the new LINKS panel to the right! There you can find some old work of mine and a bunch of other local FM street art as well!

Who'd Have Guessed?

 

WOW was I wrong when I thought last night would be a good night to try my first wheat paste poster... Was super nice (considering) and sunny yesterday afternoon but things sure changed by the time we made it out there to put this up. -3 and 26 mph winds made this less than easy but we got it up (mostly). 

The roller bomb in the background is mine from before I started FreeStreet. I picked this spot particularly because it used to say "SKEM3" but LERIK decided to buff out the 3 (my favorite character) to make room for a piece of his. Which was unnecessary AND sucky. Anyway I put this back over the portion I had originally claimed.

Anyways, enough bad blood, check this out!  

Unglued Craft Fest is basically a big craft expo-esk thing but instead of a bunch of old grandma's in rocking chairs making boring things it's a bunch of local indie kids selling cleaver cute things. I think? Either way it's been hyped up pretty well so, if you're in the FM area, go check it out!
