At night, when I’m thinking about planets and moons my mind drifts to sherbet flavored robots winding their way from galaxy to galaxy by Travis Smith AKA Mr. Purty

Last week when I was in Sacramento I left this piece at Streets of London.
We did a little craft bombing in San Francisco yesterday. We hit up a bunch of tourist spots, it was a lot of fun.
Cars on the Golden Gate Bridge

A dragon windsock near the dragon gate to Chinatown
This one is sad, I know. It was already knitted in the bag of yarn I got recently. It kinda looks like a sheep’s hide. I couldn’t untangle it and didn’t want the yarn to go to waste so I hung it in front of the Delfina craft fair.
I’ve photographed the first batch of returned mail art pieces photographed and here they are. I’m excited about the completed pieces. I’ve also seen a couple sneek peeks of in progress pieces. The show is looking good!

I went up to Sacramento to visit SewJaboy this weekend and Saturday afternoon we decided to come up with a little craft graffiti to hang that night when we wandered around for Second Saturday. Here’s our spur of the moment creations.
SewJaboy made a bear flag.
It found a home in front of Bows and Arrows
He also made a little tile mosaic.
We placed it in the window ledge @ Vox
SewJaboy has been asking about how you make quilt squares, so I made a little 8×8 quilted square. I made it quick so my corners are not precise enough, oh well.
This little gem found it’s home in front of Old Soul at The Weatherstone.
We had an awesome time last night at the Lightbox SF show. And the trees of sea creatures were lots o’fun.
So we are slowly joining the current century. A couple of weeks back we got a facebook fan page. Now, we’ve made the crazy leap into the world of twitter, where you can follow us at @DSP_graffiti.
So I just packaged up envelope #32 for the mail art project. Which means we’ve recruited just over a 1/3 of the artists that we need. So, if you haven’t already joined in and want to, let me know. Or if you know of any awesome artists I should recruit, I would love some leads!
Thanks kids!
Hey Gang!
I’ve decided to do a mail art project. Here’s the scoop.
I have 89 pages that have been removed from an old photography book (so there are no copyright issues). Pages are printed on both sides and contain (in total) from one to five photos.
What I want from you: a piece of art (capable of being mailed back to me) inspired by one or more of the photos on your page. You can do whatever your creative heart desires.
To join in comment below or shoot me an e-mail at deeplysuperficialpeople at gmail dot com. And we’ll arrange either the pick up or the mailing of the pages to you. I’d like as many artists to participate as I can get, so please pass this along to anyone you think might want to participate.
The goal is to have the project complete sometime after the first of the new year, so let’s get cracking!
We’ve created a fan page on facebook. You should become our fan!
The frogs in Dolores Park have finally sprung free. Thanks to all my helpers!
iPhone photos of today’s project. More to come later!
Prep is in full swing for this weekend. Swing by Dolores Park on Sunday to see the finished result!
We hung a little knitting graffiti outside the first ever Lightbox SF Craft Hour. It was lots o’fun and the knitting stuck around all night.
We were lucky enough to get featured in an article about knitting graffiti written by Jodi Broadwater for the Columbia News Service. A picture of Owl_Or_Nothing’s bike lock even got included.
A couple got dropped tonight in SF
Most of the flags were still up yesterday, here’s a pic of them in the daylight.
Our first hit in San Francisco (23rd and Valencia)
Peptogirl posted some pics of our work outside of IndieSacramento last weekend.
