I’m working on a project I can tell you about soon. To generate designs for it, I’ve snapped together a ‘Maker that combines drawings. I’ve saved/printed around 200. I like it because its incomplete, just a sketch. I could render each form in any color, in or out of focus, with spray gun, torn paper, masked house paint, or just the thin black lines. See the Drawing ‘Maker working here (it’s large, you’ll need to “zoom-out”).
Javier Abarca is a writer and educator on topics of Graffiti & Post-Graffiti. His extensive collection of essays at Urbanario.es is a must, and it translates easily with google translate, (I’m guessing that’s because his use of Spanish is perfect.)
Now you can also explore the English version of the site and rss feed, which he launched last month. (His English is also perfect.)
Besides writing for books and magazines, Javier gives lectures and workshops (including a permanent workshop in urban art for the Fine Arts Faculty, Universidad Complutense de Madrid: http://apaw.javierabarca.es

I’m over joyed to participate with Add-Art, the Firefox Add-On that replaces online advertising with artwork. Add-Art works perfectly, I’ve had it installed for a year or so. Developed in part by the fantastic Mr. Steve Lambert. Julia Kim is curating this next batch of art due to be updated December 19th, from:

I’ve been looking at Style Konstruktor a lot, there were two Russian dudes, now just one. They’re onto something interesting. Kurz & CT from Itally also… listing their tags on ekosystem CT & Kurz & rarely updated KURZ site.
This was for Eves – Useless Idea interviewing, a year and a half ago.
I say some funny stuff.
Last year when I made an experimental trip to London, I met James Greenfield, an insightful graphic designer with his hands in several projects. We’ve thrown some ideas around in the form of an interview. If you’d like to read- its here on Design Assembly.
Updating the “Shop” link, I came accross my old commerce page: from 2004 – 2006
A while back Hargo set up a “Show Palace” Flickr pool. Its sometimes amazing to see what kind of life this ephemeral work goes on to live, once we set it up and leave it. And Flickr enthusiasts generally have better cameras than I do… Here’s a great shot from Sabeth718
Another “MOMO Maker” as research/inspiration for what Eltono and I are doing – I calculated there’s 10,000,000,000,000,000 variations here, but it always manages to look like a Vuarnet beach towel. Enjoy.
& this one preceeded it.
