10x10 | Day 2 - 7

Paper, and paste, and paint...a little bit of rain shower, add in a splash of Ghostland Observatory and a dash of HawkDave...great things are a brewin'. 423BraggingRights and HawkDave shot Ghostland Observatory and I live painted in Knoxville at the Valarium Sunday night. We've installed new pieces at Honest Pint, JJ's Bohemia, Graffiti Alley. The alley is coming to life, and there's more to come.

 

Here's a video of David installing a picture of John D from "Riot Punch" on the back patio of JJ's.

We have 3 more days of painting and 5 more pieces cut. Everything will be coming down the first week of May so tell your friends and bring the kids, enjoy a public art walk, it's Spring, and Chattanooga is beautiful!

10x10 | Day 1 of 10

Made exactly enough paste to install all 4 pieces that went up today, ran out on the last sheet of paper. We started the day pasting a photo of Brian Sylvestor, from Machines Are People Too, on the old North Shore Lunch building, located on Frazier Ave between the Subway and Walnut Street Bridge. We then moved to BrewHaus where we installed a large photo of our own Mary Margaret LaVoie. Finishing the day of pasting with 2 pieces installed at Hair of the Dog Pub, the first is an illustration of a Giraffe designed by Mary for her neices, the second is a photo of Joshua Bennet, of Forest Magic and Dolphin Mouth, doing some maintenance on his guitar. 

Future sites for this project do include and are not limited to Jj's Bohemia, the Honest Pint, Chad's Records, and Graffiti Alley. With 9 pieces cut and ready to paste, and 5 printed just waiting to be cut, we have 9 more days of installations til we have hit our mark for this project. Stay connected to maintain mural locations and installation times. 

All mural work is 100% family friendly, and will be removed from May 1-7th, so make sure to see them all before you can only see them in photo's...

10x10 Update...

If you haven't heard, PPRWRK has returned to Chattanooga to offer some of our art in conjunction with the 10x10 Showcase during HATCH Chattanooga Arts Week. So far we have recieved sponsorships from The Honest Pint, Hair of the Dog, and Brewhaus, make sure you stop by and check out these amazing establishments when you go on your PPRWRK Mural search. Plus a massive printing donation from IB&M, with which we were able to double our mural count, a huge thank you to IB&M. With a few other sponsorships pending I'm happy to say that in addition to these 3 locations we have also decided to take over Chattanooga's Graffiti Alley (alley entrance close to 9 East 7th Street, Chattanooga), which bumps the mural count to 9 as of right now.

As we paste and post be sure to keep track of what we've put where. All pieces are only guaranteed til the end of April pending a required removal during the first week of May.

Time to get my cut on...

PPRWRK goin' public...

Our current project brings us back to Chattanooga TN for the 10X10 Showcase during HATCH Chattanooga Arts Week. Starting April 16th, we will be putting up a new mural each day, piggy-backing the location of the main events planned, with additional pieces hidden thru-out downtown Chattanooga. Having just left Austin TX where we put up Socket Bunnies while working on an art installation during SXSW, it was invaluable to fall into this project here during our visit.

The designs chosen to be put up will range from photos of Machines are People Too and random Chattanooga locals to the whimsical illustrations by Mary Margaret LaVoie. During the month of April be sure to wall gaze from the riverfront area up to MLK Blvd for the following and many more images.

 

(All Pieces are Temporary | Removal Scheduled for April 30th)
