I cannot believe I missed it !!!
Sooooooo sad.... :(
We dorks just could not get our shit together in time. We missed him play. Very sad.
We did manage to festoon a nearby tree...! (Of course I forgot the camera again...)
Tree #8: Allen St & E. Houston, Manh., 07/02/08, 22:15
Despite being temporarily being disowned by my fellow guerrillas (lol) they decided it was OK to know me after all and we managed to get this one up in a prime viewing location. This one's cool, it has wooden bead eyes hanging on wires so they move around in the wind.
After various barhops, walking in circles and managing to get all the bars mixed up...
Tree #9: Ludlow & Rivington, Manh., 07/02/08, 23:44
Total bummer missing Gonzalo Silva but a great night out ending with (bad) pool on our own semi-private balcony for 2 bucks a game. Not a bad night indeed... :)
There have also been some soft murmurings from people in other parts of the world about maybe taking this to thier cities.
Tree Eyes Around The WORLD !!! Woohoooo...!! :-D
Do it! It's Easy. And super fun! ...Just be sure to send in a picture for the blog!!
It's a simple enough thing that someone could do by themself but could be a lot of fun to get a few friends together. Make a party out of it! Keeping with the green message we focused on reusing found items, natural, biodegradable materials, and not defacing or causing any damage to the trees. Some of the materials we used included a lot of cardboard (colored cardboard was useful), oyster shells, wine corks, beer tabs, bottle caps, beads, found trinkets... The simplest way we've found to put the eyes up without hurting the trees has been using twine to tie the around the tree.
I dunno what your city's like but some passerby or another will take the tree eyes if they're accessible to reach in this city. The eyes need to be tied up high enough so you'll need something to stand on.
When your done don't forget to take a picture of your guerilla art piece! Try to get one close up of your work and one from further back getting in the tree and the background. Remember to note the exact location, the street it's on, the nearest cross street and city (also mention if it's a landmark location), with the date and time of the installation.
Send your pictures to me or send me an email you to add you to collaborate on the blog!Look forward to hopefully getting some emails soon...!! :-)
