Japantown Mural Project Dedication

I am finally posting a few images from the dedication of the Japantown Mural project. Here is my mural, Noodle Sipper. My daughter was my model and she poses here in front of the digitally printed fence mural during the Obon Festival. The Japantown Mural Project was coordinated by Tamiko Rast of Rasteriods Design. There are around 60 panels and 30 artists involved.

A Keepsy book was created to celebrate the dedication and you can see it here: http://www.keepsy.com/hnztEOZr

Here is an earlier posting on the development of this mural panel, Noodle Sipper.

The Seeking Shelter Public Art Installation!

This past weekend the Seeking Shelter bus stop shelter came to life as a public art installation at the ZERO1 Biennial Art & Technology Biennial. Below are some images of the project.

Installation set up on Friday Sept 12, 2012

Solar lights illuminate the roof of the structure at night.

Hanging wall garden and youth designed patterns reflecting on local community. QR codes link to website pages with student statements about their designs.

Playing on the "Mr. Potato Head" side of the bus stop shelter. People used MakeDo components to add shelves and vases.
