WORLD WIDE WALLS - @saype_artiste is self-taught artist known today for his paintings on grass, made with eco-responsible paint. He invented a 100% biodegradable paint and perfected a process which enabled him to create gigantic frescoes on the ground. Since then, these frescoes travel around the world, with a concern to appeal to people and society, minimizing its impact on nature.... Its main objective is to put its art at the service of the human being, always with a concern for optimism and in a poetic way. For more info check out @saype_artiste page

TBT - It’s been a year since we went into shelter in place. Our team had to restructure and take a week-long festival model into a Artist In Residence (AIR) program. This allowed us to keep producing public art with our local artists while keeping social distancing in place. Looking back at AIR #1, 2, 3 ... with @roanvictor @kristinamicotti @alfsal along the Guadalupe River Park and Trail.

A look back at work by Spenser Little for PWAV. Days before the installation @spenserlittleart’s piece, a huge fire broke out an hour away due to a gender reveal party gone wrong. It started on September 8th and it is still burning.... California has been on fire with over 27 wildfires and an estimate of 200,000 acres burned. Smoke filled skies are more common than blue skies in some parts. This piece was installed when Lancaster was filled with smoke resulting in darken skies.

#canative White Sage in gouache in my gray toned sketchbook. I think I’ve had this plant for two years. It really took off this year, its stalk of white flowers were taller than me (last photo taken this past May). -Roan (@roanvictor ) #powwowsanjoseair Supported by @powwowworldwide @montanacans_usa @monsterenergy @guadaluperiverparkconservancy @kellymoorepaint #Applied4Good

A small gouache painting of #canative Cleveland Sage that lives in my front yard. I planted it about three years ago from a small pot and it has grown into a giant bush It’s super aromatic and has beautiful purple flowers (last photo from beginning of summer) -Roan (@roanvictor) #powwowsanjoseair Supported by @powwowworldwide @montanacans_usa @monsterenergy @guadaluperiverparkconservancy @kellymoorepaint #Applied4Good
