Happy Holidays!

Just a quick post to say I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! Also, to enlist the Lords of Winter to get off their duffs and sprinkle some snow in the mountains already! Everyone do a little snow dance today before heading out! Much love to all, and a Happy New Year!!!

Sweet Site

Check under the mixes section of Spirit of House, I've got one of these streaming right now and it's mellow and sweet. I stumbled across this while trying to buy the domain URL grooveisintheheart.com but it is already taken by a site that mirrors to this one. I've been looking for a more permanent home for this blog and a buddy in Germany has offered me webspace so all I need is a URL. I'm a little bummed the .com is taken but if it's gotta be, at least it references a site dedicated to the Groove!

Coming soon to a decrepit wall near you

These are some photos of the project I just finished. It was a collaborative effort with my classmate Jane that involved us touring the shadier areas of SF looking for urban art and then photographing it. We spent a lot of time thinking of that unifying, central theme behind the project until Jane suggested that we just try doing a Burner ourselves. Then the question was whether or not to go out into the cityscape and do it or try it in the less highly illegal confines of my patio. So we designed our own tags and then sprayed a piece of plywood. Here are the results.


I lay down the primer


I make my first stroke and drip all over the place


Wearing our Intel Inside Spacesuits


Crafting


I am pleased with my initial lack of suckiness


I drip some more crafting my C, much cursing ensues


I try some black


Turns out black was a bad idea


Jane discovers the art of masking on the fly


We lay down drop shadow


Almost done...


Jane works with Yellow


Final product, we are now ready to vandalize your house
