'Inside Out Fishbowl' - 3D Dry Chalk Street Painting by Anthony Cappetto in Belmar, NJ

Hi from Belmar NJ where we did a quick but fun 3D street painting for the Belmar ArtWalk 2017 on April 29th.

Not our typical size or time to finish but definitely bright and electric colors and opportunity to do some art in our tri state area around New York City.

 

 

 

 

It was a beautiful day for street painting as I did a small for me (five by eight foot) 3D of three brightly colored fish swimming around - but not in - a fishbowl tus the name for the piece ' Inside Out Fishbowl'...

A fun one day piece and the weather was great!

Finished in early afternoon - Then came the pictures and another fun artwork.  Look forward to summer street paintings to share locally with our communities in the tri state area around NYC.

 

 

Interview with 3D street painter Hoosney Khrichfat from Morocco

 Hello to our readers!  We are happy to see that 3D street painting is beginning to develop and thrive throughout the world.  This Fall, Blog Now on streetpainting.tv is reaching out to new 3D street painters in Africa, Asia, and all points where 3D street painting is emerging for artists and the public.  This post begins our Fall 2015 series with Hoosney Khrichfat from Morocco...

 

Please tell us a little about yourself, your art, your art interests, for the readers.

Well, My name is Hoosney Khrichfat From Morocco.  I'm 20 years old, and I'm currently a student at Mohammed 5 University Agdal-Rabat,studying sociology. I'm a 3D street painter and also a fine artist. I started  3D street painting about 3 years ago. I didn't study art in schools or universities, I just work on my talent and develop it. I painted the first 3D work in Morocco, and also like being a first Arabic on Arab, and as the first Muslim in Africa. I focus in my art to report messages, I do all what I can to draw something useful. I love nature it's a big part of my life..and i like to draw animals which I love, and like what I said I like to have a goal in my art.  For example, I have drawn a mural talking about the freedom for Palestine  which was classified as the best one in my city sale. Moreover, I have painted several hand paintings that talks about poor people and many subjects.

 

'About the Crab’, it’s meaning to you as an artist, sharing your love of 3D with the viewers.

 

About the Crab it means a lot for me, when we speak about sea, fishing, swimming, here we talk about my passion, my memories and my feelings as a child.  When I was a child, I spent the most of my time at the beach swimming, fishing, and playing football- all of this at one place which is the nation's beach. So, the crab is a work where  I expressed in it all my feelings that was in sea and fishing. This animal we enjoyed with it when we were children,  we fished it and we playing with it. So this is the big crab from my big memory...

 

How did you learn of 3D street painting?

 

The first time I saw a 3D street work was on TV, about 6 years ago. I was impressed, I said to myself: Wow !! what's that this is magic!! ...and one time I was surfing on net, and I watched a perfect 3D work of one of the greatest artists in the world, she is Tracy Lee Stum from U.S.A. I like what she does, and I said to myself why not doing like what she do, so I contacted her and she gave me a lot of advice.  With the passage of time I discovered 3D street art. I started watching videos, got to know people in the same field around the world. After that, I started thinking about painting my own 3D street art. Eventually, when I was ready psychologically and physically, I took the decision and I began looking for the suitable place and I achieved my goal. Besides to the 3D street art.

 

 What is it like to street paint in Morocco? Any particular challenges – weather, locations?

Really - 3D street painting in Morocco is unregistered. Most Moroccan artists are now outside, in Europe or the US. The rest of the artists who still here, they find a lot of particulars. One of those big particulars is the locations where we can work, the government or law do not gives us the appropriate for drawing on places or streets. By the way, in my first experience, I found a lot of difficulties explaining what I do to the police. When they came to me after they saw me drawing working  now on the definition of this theme of art.  We really don't have any problems with weather- in Morocco, most months of the year are hot and sunny, so the biggest particular is to work on the definition of this art.

 

Do you have other 3D works that we can look forward to seeing soon?

 

Actually I'm working for the near future about new 3D works, that I hope look better than the past ones, and for that I will do all my best. I'm looking forward to organise an international festival,inviting the greatest artists around the world, and giving the chance to the young Moroccan talents to improve their skills and enjoy with colors...

You are very talented and very ambitious Hoosney - Wendy and I at Blog Now on streetpainting.tv look forward to your progress and that of the young 3D street painters of Morocco learning and growing from your coming experiences!

'All My Own Work - A History of Pavement Art' by Philip Battle A Crowdfunding Campaign

Hello to all of our readers!

Wendy and I are very excited about the crowdfunding effort by one of our very good friends and colleagues in the pavement art world - Philip Battle with his new book 'All My Own Work - A History of Pavement Art'.

The history of our art form whether it is known as street painting, madonnari, screeving, or pavement art is rich, involved, and a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about this art form beyond the emails one sometimes gets from a friend or compliations of current images in social media.

Below are a series of Little Known Facts about Pavement Art (courtesy of Philip Battle):

The story of an art form that is now a world wide movement...

You may be surprised to learn who did pavement art...

This informative, colorful narrative contains many little known facts such as these but the facts and stories are the framework for a brave, enduring history of an art form in which many were on the edge of homelessness, struggling for daily survival at the hands of a public whose coins meant all of difference in the world and could be at the mercy of the police/authorities at any moment.

[In Battle's words:

• The story of an art-form that is now a world-wide modern arts movement
• It's a positive history of people living on the margins of society, many of them homeless, and often only one drawing away from the workhouse.
• It's a story about people, with hope in their hearts...effectively creating something from nothing, in exchange for a few 'browns' (coppers)
• It’s about the story of ordinary folk who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances.
• Where possible, the story is told in their own words.

The FIRST book of its kind to relate the history of pavement art; from its origins in pre-history to the Victorians, Edwardians and the present day

I’ve sub-titled it “A history of Pavement Art” because that’s all it can be. It’s not a definitive account, but rather a start (THE FIRST) that touches on aspects of a forgotten world. To do justice to the entire history of pavement art would take three or four volumes! (something for the future perhaps.)

Also, the personal stories of individual artists plucked from historical obscurity and told here for the very first time; like Alice G Colman (1874-1934), Britain’s first lady pavement artist. Liverpool’s own child pavement artist James William Carling (1857-1887) with the personal stories of many others, and the social context in which they lived.

I bring the history right up to date with a description of modern day pavement art; festivals, events and the popularisation of the art-form across the globe, with examples of 3D anamorphic art, and other modern trends.

There are many ways to publish a book, but crowd-funding seems very appropriate somehow; it’s like the modern day equivalent of throwing a coin into a poor screevers cap.

I firmly believe, if the interest is there, if people wish to celebrate the diversity and common history that all pavement artists share, then this book will happen. If I only receive 50% of my crowd-funding target of £8000 by the 6^th October, then we are in business, and the book will be published next Spring 2015.

You can make a pledge from as little as £1

I’m not asking a lot, and for only a £28 pledge, you can bag yourself an advanced sale limited 1^st edition copy. It’s important to remember that no money is exchanged unless or until I hit my minimum target of £4000 by October.

Again, Wendy and I here at Blog Now on streetpainting.tv as bloggers and fellow artists only, are very much behind Philip's endeavors and strongly believe that this is indeed the collective history of the street painting, pavement art communities worldwide and especially if you are an active artist - you need to appreciate and respect where we came from and the named and nameless who have struggled, endured, and persevered in the years, decades, and even centuries before us.  Because of their struggles and experiences, we today can enjoy the world of bringing our art to millions worldwide via social media and popular, positive attention from the most sophisticated global advertising, branding campaigns to huge publicly supported exhibitions of street painting/pavement art in principal cities of the world to local community efforts engaging prominent and promising artists of all talents and abilities.

Readers, please consider contributing to the campaign for 'All My Own Work - A History of Pavement Art' by Philip Battle.  We have contributed to the campaign (as we hope you the readers will) - and encourage all to do the same.
