By Earth Day 250,000 people will see my eco-logicl art exhibit in the first day. By the end of the month the number of people who will see LA's first "Drive-By" gallery will be over 7 million. There's only one small problem-- the art that will make up the OFF THE WALL 3 show...it doesn't exist yet.
Wind in the Sails

I used to have an old 16' Hobie Cat catamaran. I sailed it by myself a lot. Hobie's are very fast. Unfortunately mine was also very old (kind of like half what I am now). When I'd see wind off in the distance I'd always be excited, but fearful too. Equipment used to break all the time and it never does when you're luffing... So I'd get ready hike out, and hope. I feel that way with billboard #1. It's done and now I'm just waiting for it to go up.
A few days ago I saw the Van Wagner billboard installation guys taking the one off the other side of the board that's above the gallery. I assumed they were here also to put the art piece up. Turns out they weren't but I was convincing, which got someone yelled at. I felt terrible but... take a look. First they took down the Fantastic 4 vinyl-- which was actually a pretty cool image. Then Kim, Leebs and Dawn started going up....And in about 30 minutes is was actually up there... It's now 14 days later and we estimate that that billboard #1 has been seen over 200,000 times. Amazing.
That was yesterday. Today I got some bad news which is throwing the whole OFF THE WALL 3 event into jeopardy. Too depressing to write about but call it a major rip in the mainsail.
