The Problem

People are good at ignoring things, and terrible at stopping to appreciate the world around them. I want to change that, using guerrilla art as the medium. A poem here, a doodle there, a chalk smiley face outside someone's door...these are the kinds of things that make people stop, notice, and appreciate others and their society. Even if all the project does is make somebody smile on a hard day, then I've done well.

Plan of Action

I post art and poetry everywhere I go, sometimes in obvious places and sometimes in places where only a certain few will see it. I don't hover and wait for people to find it; I merely leave it, along with the project's Web address, in the hopes that people will come to the site and help spread the art.
