Artist, in all connotations of the title, who takes very seriously her jihad to resist being entirely, overwhelmingly distracted by all the glittery things, as well as the texts, textures, floras, aromas, critters, and all of Allah’s creations both magnificent and seemingly insignificant. btw: Avatar is Art by Hassan Hajjaj |
Street Art of the Day: Last month, children’s author Aaron Zenz sat down to watch Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop with his kids.
10-year-old Gracie was so inspired by the film, that she immediately declared her determination to become a street artist when she grew up. Her dad explained to her that “while the art was fun and the story was great, vandalism isn’t a good thing.” So all together they came up with a project that was artsy, stealthy, public, “and in no way damaging”:
I bought a big sack of rocks, washed them, and painted the base colors. Then Isaac, Gracie, Lily, and I each claimed a color and decorated them with as many faces and expressions as we could thing of. 48 rocks in all. […]
Hopefully we were able to spread a little happiness to anyone who stumbled across these little guys.

They had to buy the rocks. hmm. Kids are eyeing this. Think they are cute and we could totes do that. Insha Allah. We’ve been doing some and designing some ideas for public/street art. This is very respectful and doable.
