Kodama 木霊

| Florence EMA Blanchard

It took 6 days to paint this mural – we worked really hard going up and down tall ladders but on the last day the stars aligned and we were able to use a cherry picker. It’s always such a treat to work with these machines – I just wish I had my own! A big thank you to Mika Ohtsuki, her family, Ito San, and Niwa San families for making this happen.

The Tour de France in Yorkshire has started. The whole region is going mad about cycling – so is B&B gallery. Grand Départ is a mini exhibition organized for the release of 3 new print editions by Asuka Ohsawa, Kid Acne, and myself which just started today. Here is a selection of my cycling related work, all are currently on view at the gallery.

Chicken Dust – a new mural in Bushwick

| Florence EMA Blanchard

I just came back from New York where I worked on a few different projects. Despite the blazing heat I managed to reclaim an old wall I had painted in 2007 in Bushwick on Humbolt street. Special thanks to Ed and the people from Enrique Mini Market for helping out! x
