2010 Loveland Transformations Project: Video

I know, your probably tired of hearing about the transformer after I blogged on about it this summer. But I just now, finally, got around to the time lapsed video I wanted to put together. Head on over to Vimeo to watch it or watch the smaller version here. http://vimeo.com/15373142

This year 20 artists were selected from a pool of about 65 submissions to "transform" those ugly green boxes around Loveland, CO. If they didn't stand out before, well, now they do with awesome murals. Mine was in the same vein as my fine art paintings: cancer cells. I painted one on either side of the box with tentacle like projections wrapping around the transformer/electrical box.

So close to being half way done.  I'll finish up on this cell tomorrow and start on the other side.  Yeah!

Update:  My location has moved.  I'll be painting the transformer North of town at the new Walmart right off of hwy 287.  I want to use the high traffic location to bring awareness to cancer by giving some helpful info.  My first thought was a series of signs that give statistics.  If you have a thought, let me know, I'm looking for ideas.  Wanna sponsor the idea?...let me know about that too.

This year, 51 artists submitted 68 designs to paint a transformer box.  I was 1 of 15 artists to get selected.  I will be painting two cancer cells on opposite sides from one another.  The tentacles of the cells will wrap around the box, meeting on the sides.  I'll be posting more updates as I begin to work...hopefully soon.
