Hey friends, This week I am back in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for Rio Art Residency! 15 international artists. 1 house. 1 week. One mission: Elevate emerging artists and create a cultural exchange. I've stepped into the role of lead artist + co-founder, helping curate and guide the artists in a collaborative mural. (video)β
β $25 Cities poster prints + discounted postcard sets. All sales will come with free post cards and will help cover paint & expenses for the artwork we're creating down here. Weβre bringing the spirit of Cities to life through paint, collaboration and improvisation. I reminded the artists yesterday that murals belongs to where you paint them, not to the artist ... it's important to create with that in mind and frame the art as gift for locals to enjoy. For the line up this year, we thoughtfully hand picked a selection of emerging and established artists. We had to ensure that the vibes would be immaculate. Recognize any names? π If you want to learn more about the residency, the artists, or learn more about how you can support, you can check out the the website here.β The residency would not be possible without the support of Selkie, the patrons and partners. THANK YOU / OBRIGADO! More soon from the southern hemisphere, |

Hey Reader, I've been obsessed with how cities feel from above. The energy, the colors, the rhythms within the grid. Now it all lives at Ef.city. See the connections between the pieces for the first time. The origins, the palettes, all together and clickable. Go get lost in it. EF.CITY PS: Post a screenshot of your favorite grid and tag me. Who knows, it might turn into something.
