You Never Know

One of the single most amazing part about being an artist is that you never know where you will have an impact on someone and how far your art will travel and touch people. My art travels the globe and interacts with hundreds of people that I may never meet in my lifetime and that in itself is pretty magical. Check out some new photos of PaperMonster stickers in a rice field and mountainous region of Indonesia for yourself and see what I mean. They are beautiful.
Many Thanks To Fiky For The Amazing Photos.

PaperMonster's Favorite Things January 2010

Happy New Year!! It is January and that means a fresh new PaperMonster's Favorite Things post is here. This month I bring you tons of new toys, photos, applications and videos to kick your year to a great start. Enjoy.
PaperMonster
First we have the new IA5 iPod Touch/Phone Dock from iHome (HERE) which is in one word "INCREDIBLE." It does not only just play all your music in great audio quality but it contains an application that allows you to adjust what you want to hear when you wake up and go to bed while at the same time it tracks your sleeping and waking patterns to let you know if your are having enough sleep. WOW (Check out the video above from G4Tv at the CES.)

Followed by the iHome we have photos of Harbin, China. I actually had the pleasure of visiting Harbin in my trip to China several years back and this city is a mix of Chinese and Russian influence as it is one of the most Northern cities in China. During the Winter they take ice from their lake and surrounding water and create gigantic impressive ice sculptures and create an entire ice city. You have to see the photos for yourself.

Following the ice sculptures of Harbin we have one of my favorite iPhone/iPod touch apps to come out so far. It is called NOVA and if you don't own Halo or want to play Halo in your office or anywhere you go this is the closest and best game your will ever buy. It has an incredible story as well as a AMAZING wifi multiplayer option which you can go against players all using the application. At one point PaperMonster was at the top 80 out of 4000 players in terms of game kills and points. I was hooked and you will be too. Check it out above.

Captured In Chinatown-Running In Circles
Lastly I wanted to share a video and song that has been one of my favorites for quite some time: Captured in Chinatown: Running In Circles. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

Brainstorm Magazine Issue# 11 Interviews PaperMonster

Brainstorm Magazine (HERE) Issue #11 will soon be released and I had the pleasure of being featured in an artists interview for the magazine. Past artists interviewed include Blu (HERE) and Arofish (HERE) so needless to say it feels fantastic to be asked to be featured in the magazine. The interview covers topics such as my origins, what is art, and the current state of street art. Catch some excerpts from the interview below or read it for yourself at the following link::

Via Brainstorm Magazine:

"We are pushing art forward and inspiring the youth to do bigger and better things to continue the movement. We have a large amount of power and it is one of the most exciting parts about being an artist today."-PaperMonster

"I have never made any paintings because I want to make anyone happy or because I need to fit into a specific category or follow rules. I make stencil art portraits of women because I want to share that beauty, strength and mystery of women. No rules or level of rejection could get me to stop what I do"-PaperMonster


Click on the images to visit the magazine and interview.

I will be posting the entire issue as soon as it is released so stay posted. Enjoy
