Wooster: Who and/or what are some of your influences?

jlparis.jpg Jacques Villeglé

My first influence is all the paper with all that memories… but 25 years ago when I start to paint, I was influenced by the "Steamin Muslims", a french painting group from the eighties. After that I discover a lot of pasted up and collage from different time and different artist too. Fifteen years ago I discover the work of Jacques Villeglé… and my head was "Shake it out" !!! We have to dream in that life, so life is my influence everyday… I try it. Specifically about artist in disorder… I like Matisse, Chaissac, Giacometti, Man Ray, Warhol, Basquiat and more (so classical !)

Wooster: What other artists do you most admire?

M-City, Orticanoodles, FarkFK, Gaia, Swoon, Faile, Bast, Dain, Judith Supine, Matt Siren,
> Dan Witz, Revs, Pure Evil, Fairey, Blu, Banksy, Elbow Toe, Os Gemeos and Talking Mute but also all my french peers and there are many !

Wooster: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?

Think about a person, think about some colors, think about a movement, think about paper…old paper !!!

Wooster: What other talent would most like to have?

Art Scotch, my second life…

Wooster: What do you fear the most?

Losing my hands…I'd lose my head !

Wooster: What is your greatest ambition?

Always have the freedom to make street art throughout all the city and make people happy with my collages

Wishing All Of You A Healthy And Happy New Year!

saraandsamantha.jpg

As we enter the final day of 2008, Sara and I want to wish all of you a very happy and healthy New Year.

For Sara and I, the "mission" of the website has never changed. The site has only one purpose:

To share with our friends those things that inspire us.

So as we end the year, we want to thank all of the artists and art lovers who have sent us incredible images over the last twelve months. On behalf of not only us, but also all of the readers of this blog, we can't thank you enough.

Here's to a wonderfully creative 2008 and what will surely be an incredibly inspiring 2009!

Warm Regards,

Marc, Sara (and of course Samantha and Hudson)

Seen On The Steets Of Raleigh, NC

From cirka:

"I've been thinking a lot about public information vs. private information and why it's so fascinating to read about the mundane details of someone else's private life (like finding their grocery list that they dropped in the parking lot, for example). So, I decided to reverse this by choosing "declassify" some of my own personal documents: letters that, at a different time in my life, I would have been mortified for anyone else to see. All are letters that were written to me (except for one, which shows a short email correspondence). They span from a letter written by my pen pal when I was about 10 to a letter that I received last summer. I silk-screened all the letters in the original color that they were written in. The only things that I altered were the names of people mentioned in the letters, which I censored in black ink."
