Bandit Presents "The Real Public Art of San Clemente" - **EVENT PICS**

Bandit Stencil

This past weekend The Real Public Art of San Clemente art show at San Clemente Art Supply featured the work of Bandit and local south county artists CalVyrus, Metz, Duzer, Alowd, Akos, Dead, Hannah Martin, JulieFaith (me!), AllieG and Brandon Paul Watts.  The event was a huge hit with over 300 people in attendance. Original artwork in the gallery, live painting, a DJ, mariachis, a collab spray paint wall and sticker-making for guests guaranteed a great time for everyone.  It was the kind of show where people came to peep the art and ended up staying for the whole night. Bandit blew the roof off his goal of raising this sleepy little town's awareness and appreciation for graf and street art.  And he did it with style and class.  In the words of one attendee who will not be mentioned (Ken Rhoda), "If you missed it, you missed it." A second event for summer 2013 is in the planning stages now.

It's time.

I never wanted to add a watermark to my photos because I believe it spoils the aesthetic and takes away from the subject matter.  I also believe that it's a super cool thing to share how I see with y'all which is why I post in the first place. Regular readers of this blog already know that  I love it when people appreciate my pictures and want to re-post them as long as they are properly attributed back to me and, if possible, the artist depicted.  But recently I have noticed a butt load of 'unauthorized' downloads from this site.  I am choosing to believe that the people who do this are so enamored with what they see that they absolutely M U S T   H A V E   I T  for themselves to love and cherish till the end of time rather than for financial gain, personal glory or worse to portray my photos or another artist's work as their own.  I always always always ALWAYS add a credit to my pictures when I know who the artist is, is it so wrong to ask the same courtesy for my photography? 

So, yeah...it's time.  I now have added the dreaded watermark to my photos ;-(   I have also upgraded to a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0)

If you have been following along since the beginning, you will recall that my first post about Graff was on Jan 19th 2011 (see it here).  I mentioned some pix my dad had shot of me in NYC. Here you have them. Just like the wall, everything about these pictures tells a story:  Dad's Army jacket.  Guess jeans (ha!).  Socks over jeans - how totally 80's is that?  Pink Converse hi-tops nicked from MTV's 1986 New Year's Eve Ball.  That sparkly pin - an absolute treasure - a hand-me-down from Arline.  Hair - shaved underneath (Thanks Katy).  I still have the pin, wish I had the shoes and jacket. 

Plus one shot of me at 5 years old with crazy hair and paint on my hands and a look on my face my family will tell you is fairly common to this day.  It's always been about the paint.

When I began this blog I had no idea what direction it would take. I wanted to kick start my creativity and practice, practice, practice my photography skills.  All I knew was I needed to get back behind my camera after too long away and, although I had no idea what I'd shoot, I knew inspiration would find me.  So, here we are 9 months later and for the most part 3lilbirdz has become a blog about street art and graffiti.  I couldn't be happier then when I am climbing around under a freeway or wandering an alley or chasing an email tip to some treasure most people would scoff at or worse, never even notice.  One man's trash... yanno?

So, I'm in NY for The Flammable Heart Exhibition. But you know me, I had to go look at my fave local spot before I left town. I spent 2 hrs climbing around down there cuz I finally figured out how to get to the other side of the freakin' creek. Anyway, I'll post the rest of the pix shortly, including what I'm shooting in NY.  Meantime...um...IS that my name up there in the right hand corner? 

Kinda? 

Maybe? 

Or am I nuts?

Please tag any artists I've missed. I'd love to give credit where it's due.
