Signs of Life and Guerilla Art Blogs


Here are a few examples of 'signs of life' I've come across close to home.

As you enter Courtenay just before the Walmart turn off.

Rosewall Cres. Courtenay

     I've been meaning to write a review about a fabulous book by Keri Smith called The Guerilla Art Kit- everything you need to put your message out into the world for fun, non profit, and world domination. The first page of this book features a quote by Henry David Thoureau that I want to share.
    "It is something to be able to paint, or to carve a statue, and so make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect the quality of the day- that is the highest of the arts."
   Recently I came across this blog about guerilla art with a review of this book and lots of great links to other blogs and sites about the guerilla art movement, Enjoy!
