Street Art Utopia

I stumbled upon the website "Street Art Utopia" and ... well, it just made me happy. I thought I'd share some of it here, and you can click the link about to see the rest...

Morphed from Martin Schoeller portraits…

So, how many people do you recognize in this?

Kevin Axtell Defies Your Eyes

This is a friend of my ... ex-niece? Ex-roommate? Extremely good and old friend who I'm related to via two ex-spouses? Wow, this is just to hard to explain. This is a friend of Bobbin's, and he's freaking amazing...

Levitating Self Portraits

I've done this, and I actually have a character in one of the novels I'm writing who does this, but this girl in Tokyo has mastered it...

...and this is how she does it:  How to take "Today's Levitation"

Nuit Blanche – Arev Manoukian

So groovy I have a hard time even describing it. You just have to watch.

Gary Sullivan: Poet, Cartoonist, Loudmouth

I've had one of those nostalgic mornings where I checked up on some old friends via the magic of the Internet, and ran into a video of this guy:

This is most definitely the Gary Sullivan I remember! We used to hang out together and write, draw cartoons, drink way too much coffee and alcohol, sleep on beaches ... and one thing that it doesn't seem to mention anywhere that I found online, the guy is an amazing musician. I remember him playing piano, guitar, and ... maybe even the sax?

I lost track of him after we both "grew up" and entered the adult world where we would actually have to hold down jobs and pay bills. I drifted off to Texas and he made his way to New York, where, I've just learned, he founded a entire poetry movement known as "Flarf." (See: Can Flarf Ever Be Taken Seriously)

Yep, that's the Gary I remember. I also remember a cartoon he had published in San Francisco for years called "Reverend Gary's Church of Fun." It was brilliant. He's a great artist.

His passion now seems to be combining poetry and cartoons, the results of which are his series of books Elsewhere (a copy of which I have around here, somewhere) and his comic series "The New Life" which appeared in Rain Taxi.

His latest book is called PPL in a Depot. It's a collection of plays.

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention he's also a playwright.

Yep, that's the Gary I remember!
