Today was one of those days that I heard a voice say, "This is why you live in Shanghai." Awesome day brainstorming, collaborating, and moving projects. Awesome things ahead!

Happy Father's Day
Legacy. That is what today should be about, and I believe that actually legacy is at the heart of what we are celebrating in the midst of a commercialistic world.

Day 1 of Signpainting at Doc Guthrie's
After several years of not touching walls for street art or mural purpose I have been hitting the brushes quite often lately. Today I finished 1 of 5 signs for a Shanghai based old-school barber shop called Doc Guthrie's. It was a pleasure working with the crew from there as they value craftsmanship from the hand as seen in their accomplishments with scissors and straightedge. Many older Chinese stopped and observed while the young and modern zipped by thankfully missing the scaffolding. It's interesting to see who values a more tangible and authentic experience.
It's interesting to pursue this craft in this overproduced and glossy city I have called home for going on nine years. Stay tuned for more work!

Not needing lights, using the "natural" light of the city.
