Sunny Day Art Visits

February 12, 2015

Yesterday was a nice day outside. It was nice inside too. I decided to celebrate with some climbing of roadside power poles. In the process I saw some friends all doing their expressive artistic things.

First I stopped by as Joel Doll Head (Slaton) was putting out his mini-library. It was really full of nice books. He has a mind for piecing together non-related objects into little folky treasures. What a gift Joel is to our community with his thoughful make-shift contributions. I am glad he befriended me.

Next I stopped by Paper Ghost gallery again to drop off more art for Friday’s Valentine show. I got to meet Barry Lee and Mike Lowery. Both are really great illustrators here in Atlanta.

After that, I went by and saw Sam Parker working on a mural in the lobby of a new apartment building on Memorial Drive. We had some good laughs when we thought about crazy visual paintings in the lobby of a brand new apartment building. Sam impresses me so much.

After that stop, I put out some streetfolk art. I climbed my ladder by the road and enjoyed the afternoon. While I was putting up one installaton on a pole, I realized their was a situation below me. A stalled van needed help. I and three other men pushed the van down the road and into a gas station parking lot. The woman driving the van didn’t speak but the three guys and I had a couple laughs while pushing and sucking in fumes. Glad all the passing cars let us cross the intersection.
