Updates? Whe don’t want any....

Rays of Riga. It is such a pity, that I didn’t go there this year...
I know I promised you, but there are a few reasonable reasons (Is there even such a thing?).
First – The bad weather. Everything was soaked and I couldn't have posted those pieces smoothly.
And second – I didn’t find a single really good spot. There were a lot of great installations and other illusions, but nothing that would support my weird needs (The only one was on top of a bridge, that went over a canal and I found it impossible to lean over there without suspicion from the police members that are always patrolling there). There was this 3D projection for a whole bunch of stuff on the National Opera, but my piece would simply be invisible there. And it would be inappropriate.
But now, let's get to more interesting stuff. These two weeks have been great. Laziness and poetry. Yes, I have started trying out my luck in this legendary skill and I’d lie, If said, that I feel disappointment. Actually, I really enjoy it. It’s a fun thing as pinching for rhymes and meaningful lines (Intentional) gives me peace of mind. It’s a great way to put out your emotions and the best way to spend the bus-time everyday. This might be bad news for some of my international readers, as almost everything that I write is in Latvian.
And because of that, for these two weeks I have left stencils aside. I know that this is a stencil-graffiti blog and making them was what this whole thing was all about, but other real life things have overcome my mind. So don't expect anything from me for at least a week more.
But, of course, that doesn’t mean, that I’m taking a break from idea generating. It’s all up there, turning and spinning, bringing the best of my subconscious crap to you. Just wait a week, I’ll force my self to work with those stencils physically and make a lot of action shots in the snowy daylight.
The snow really has come onto us. It’s finally winter in Latvia, bringing the best things to me through emotions. I’m not promising anything, but there might be a Christmas or winter related stencil up on my gallery. I’m already begging for ideas.

I think that’s it, these were the things, that I really had to tell you, so I should better sign off, the rats are eating my acetate.

Sincerely yours,

Quite updated...

Again, nothing so big, just a plain review of the past week and other reg. stuff.

So, this week has been really inspirational, but completely lazy for me.

This is mostly because of my complete laziness and the breakdown of my only computer. I planned to finish at least 2 more stencil pieces at the city, get the new idea for stencils down, and finish the first promo for the Tees collection. Didn’t do ANY of it.  Next Tuesday, the computer is back on track. I’ll probably go get that acetate  Tuesday, and make a lot of unfinished  stencil ideas. Some of them have already appeared on Twitter and SR, so if you’ve followed me quite closely, you should’ve seen almost all of them.

If you haven’t, I  can sneak peek you right now.

Those are two poems from me, entitled „Light of speed” and  „Affection”. First graffiti poems for me, so they’re definitely going to transform into acetate.

Also, a few of text stencils, such as a work discussing banality and one pointing out the lie full speed of light and a lot more.(Yes, I know. I am slightly obsessed with Physics right now, but it helps, when generating ideas.)

The only thing I actually did this inter-blog moment, was a fresh ”Piece” at the city.

It was the 'Illusionary', sprayed it in the fountain at the local park. It was mid-day when we finished it and it was quite funny. All of people coming, looking at us, not getting why are we sitting by a dry fountain and why did I just drop a piece of paper in there.

 Of course, the fountains are off right now, It’s getting colder, so the photo time is only next march. The good news are that it won’t get cleaned off for a long, long time. Who would get into a fountain to brush off an unbrushable Mtn94?

And if we talk about the winter knocking on our doors, there are a few good news for you. Annually, this time of the year is the stencil season for me. As it’s too cold to ride the board outside, I usually stay inside generating and completing ideas, so this winter, there are going to be a lot of new and completely different updates. (Including those tees.)

But the main, main news today, are a completely wonderful opportunity for me this winter. Every single year, there is a pretty huge ‘exhibition’ in the city. It’s called – Rays of Riga. (I don’t even have a clue, what could the title be in English) The whole point are the installations of different light illusions, light beams and rays shooting out of impossible places. It’s actually pretty good, as it’s throughout the whole city and completely free.

But here’s the good part. This year, the main theme of the whole thing is „Optical illusions”. Now how lucky is that?

It wasn’t intentional. My idea of ‘Illusionary’ stencil came to me related with a completely different thing and when it did, the main theme of ‘Rays of Riga’ wasn’t  announced yet.

But it doesn’t really matter. The thing is, that in the October 27th(..? I don’t really know the actual date) I’ll be going around the city, looking like an average artist fixing his installation, just spraying Life’s an optical illusion on some ‘beamed’ spots.

A lot of action shots from that place, I promise you!

So, stay tuned, get ready for some new flickr’s (Maybe an action shot, as next Wednesday is a ‘city’ day) and don’t forget to follow me right here, on twitter and friend (meant as a Verb ;) me on SR!

Cheers,

New idea package (#2 + #3)

The 2 new package of tee designs are here. Similar AND different.
It could be completely destructive, as well as encouraging for all of you. It could easily lead to depression and sleepless nights.
Some people say, that it’s necessary for an achievement of any kind. Some people say, that it only destroys.
It may be “public acceptance” or “people’s reaction” for some, but deep down it is still this banal, over-used word.
Now on 2 (more coming soon) tees!

Tee #2!

Tee #3!

Just a sidenote on the third tee - Tired of Ironing your clothes? Now you have a proper reason.

More tees coming soon!

Cheers.

The Tee design-athlon has begun + The idea Number 1!

 The new Tee design is here! As promised, first of the many, this one has come pretty early... The marathon should have started only next week, but a completely astonishing idea struck my mind. Enjoy!

The biggest problem of most clothes shops in world, is inacceptance. They don’t care about people, who are smaller than the reagular S, really smaller than the regular S or just a part of the almost extinct community of punks... So, I decided to finally change the social attitude and design a t-shirt just for them!

The new Shirt design consists of 6 cutting lines, that determine how small you want your tee to be.

 XS, XXS, XXXS, Punks not dead, Baby Small and a special add-on Wife-beater, that you can add to any size selected.

Confused? Check out the October post "Week ful o' ideas" for a proper explanation here.

Stay tuned for many more, 

Cheers, [BLI:P]
