Shadow People

I went on a little walk last night and brought along some shadow people stickers I made to play with the shadows outside.

I love how everything looks like a playground once you add a little person to it!

Pacman

This weekend I decided to play a real life game of Pacman.

Here are the rules...

10 points for eating a pellet,

20 points for eating a cherry,

50 points for eating a ghost,

and 100 points for eating a human.

Run human, run!

The Chalk Walk

This weekend I thought it would be fun to add some color to my block! So I went outside and traced my footsteps with chalk down the sidewalk.

As I was doing this, a grumpy old man came up to me and yelled at me to stop. I actually thought about stopping until a boy came up to me with a giant smile and said "make more"

and I liked his advice better =)

So I tested out the finished footprints,

ran up to my window to wait with Moo,

and took pictures when people walked by so that it looks like they are leaving trails of colorful footprints!

It was really cute to watch kids (and many adults who thought no one was watching) hop along the footsteps like they were playing hopscotch.

Shapes

It's always lovely to spot a shape in the clouds.

 ( I totally see a whale! ) 

Instead of looking up to find shapes, I thought it would be even more fun to look down.  So I grabbed some colorful tape and went looking for shapes on the street. 

I found a TV in the dirt,

a mouse in the grass,

and a kite in the cracks!

Tiny Help

While out for a walk, I noticed there were many little things on the street that needed some help. I realized that the only way to fix little problems is to get little people!

Matty and I happen to be very handy, so I printed pictures of us onto sticker paper, cut us out, and stuck us around the neighborhood.

We fixed those little problems like loose nails,

broken electrical covers,

splitting walls,

and giant cracks in steps. 

Thank goodness Matty is there to hold up that step. It would have surely collapsed by now!

Moo just watched us busy at work. 

He would have helped, if only he had thumbs.

Mini Documentary

Radar contacted me about making a mini documentary on my street art!

They followed me around all day and documented me at home,

making my thought bubbles, 

and my shadows!

Click here to see the fun video! 

You'll see my process of making my street art and hear me talk about why I do it =)

Neighborhood Love

This morning I had an urge to brighten up some of the dirty areas in my neighborhood.

So I cut out tons of hearts on pink tape and stuck them in fun places.

Finally those old pipes have a purpose!

Moo even came to help spread some love ;)

The Shadow Project

Do you ever wonder if your shadow is playing tricks on you behind your back?

I mean, it could be, right? It's always walking behind you so you never know what's going on back there!

The past couple of weeks I've been tracing Matty and I onto large rolls of black paper.

I then cut them out into fun shadow people,

and taped them onto the walls and sidewalks all around Brooklyn. I then waited for people to walk by and took a picture at the exact moment they matched up with their silly shadow.

What do you think your shadow is up to? Quick! Turn around and check!

Thought bubbles in France!

Yesterday I found out from my friend Edwige that I was on a popular TV show in France. Look at all the fun things they did with my thought bubbles!

Tuesday

All week I've been carrying around paper eyes with me. I put tape on the back of the eyes and stuck them onto random things I passed by.

It immediately gives inanimate objects a personality!

This handsome house has a mustache.

It's cute to look at an object and to see it looking back at me!

Thursday

Do you ever wonder what people are thinking about when you pass them on the street?

I made a bunch of thought bubbles out of paper and we hung them around Brooklyn. We waited for people to walk by the bubbles and when they did, I took a picture. 

I'm sure people think about love, 

food, 

and ladies in bikinis ;)

What would you put in your bubble?
