Traction Painting

Tried to do this in a timely manner. Didn't have any artist canvas, so I used a slightly felted piece of cotton I had on hand. Shoulda quadruple-primed it because the paint sank in, making the wheel marks less pronounced than I would have liked. Printed Liberté and Solidarité with a skate wheel on a 4-inch paint roller handle.

Three shirts to the wind. trAction-painted at the Lafayette Art and Wine Festival, 9/21/14.

After successfully running a summer camp, in which 18 kids created a 7 x 14 foot painting with bikes, skates, and scooters, I have a new gig upcoming; UK travel plans, as alluded to in the article, fell through. http://www.lamorindaweekly.com//New-Art-Form-Makes-Debut-S
