Be Creative Everyday
A friend I follow on Twitter often comments, “Sending art out into the world.” This is usually just after she has shipped a new series of commissioned art or prints out to her customers.
To me, sending art out into the world is the heart and philosophy behind guerrilla art. There are also added benefits of watching people’s reactions or sharing an important social justice message.
With this in mind, a few weekends ago I spent a Saturday morning creating this macrame and Fimo tag. Later that day as my husband and I were leaving the farmer’s market, I tagged a pole in a large covered parking area. This parking area is free on the weekends and gets a lot of exposure. My little “Be Creative Everyday” tag is barely visible from a distance, but the curious observer will see my message.
It isn’t much, but it’s a start. This small experience of tagging a pole was really quite liberating and got me excited about creating more tags in themed colors, like love notes for Valentines Day and lazy day quotes on Labor Day.
Have you gotten your guerrilla art groove on yet?

That’s awesome! Made me laugh & smile… Now if you could only set up a hidden camera to watch people’s reactions, LOL.
