Not A City Maintained Alley Way, You Think?

I found this sign that (used to say) “Not A City Maintained Alley Way.”

 

So I wrote this.

You’re welcome :)

Materials and Methodology: Sharpie and a dash of rebellion.

Location: Sign by a wash behind the group of apartments by 5th at Wilmot.

A Dill of a Day

Materials and Methodology: IKEA paper tablecloth, acrylic paint, Sharpie, my wry mind. Dried for long hours with a hairdryer, with which I very nearly burnt the house down. Wheatpasted with assistance from my brother, whose alias in my postings will be Watson.

Location: The back corner of that little strip mall on the North side of Speedway, just East of Swan. 

This is probably my favorite piece so far. The idea came to me while I was contemplating In-N-Out burger's secret menu, don't ask me why.

I'm still getting used to the very temperamental and low-quality materials I use, which provides interesting results when I'm painting. A lot of the time the paper will get too wet and risk buckling or tearing. Painting with too much water will let the pattern on the paper come through and makes things much less realistic, which I actually rather enjoy. Don't you?

I know, I know, the name is an alliteration. But sometimes you just can't say what you want to in a syzygy. I don't really like the name, so if anyone has any suggestions, comment comment comment!
