My Graffiti Wall collaboration with Julie and Lynne continues. Click the links and scroll through their posts to see their walls. I decided to interpret this project differently and very literally. I am building a wall, brick by brick.
As can be seen in these images (click to enlarge), I am collaging bricks with the beautiful papers made by Lynne and Julie. Building a wall, one brick at a time. 91 bricks in all. Then...on to the graffiti!
P.S. New Text Tile completed in between bricks!

Seth - this graffiti wall collaboration is one of the most interesting collaborations I've seen out there - I'm loving watching it unfold.
Just incredible bricks, and each is equally as amazing as the next. Beautiful colors collaged together with layer after layer like feather upon feather. Birds and words and lines and dots, must be filled with a million plots.
Music and symbols and bees all here, just specs of your gorgeous bricks for sure. Love the mortar and patterned textures to see, all anxiously waiting your next step- the graffiti! Awesome collaboration - by three awesome artists... and great new Text Tile too!
It's beautiful even w/o the graffiti - but anxious to see how that turns out!!! Drop by and enter my Spring Giveaway, if you get a chance!!! The giveaway itself might not really be "you", but it's nice to have you visit!! :>)
I like the idea of bricks in a wall.
I do textile art and have recently come across the web site of
www.saskia.weishut.com she is a textile artist working in The Netherlands - her work is often put together like a collage - she works on individual bits and then puts them all together. If you get a chance, do look at her work.
My bundle is getting battered by wind and rain - fantastic - hope there will at least be a plague of frogs or something else biblical before the time is up.
Love you brick collaboration ... .
so many ways to take that concept.
(you've got my head spinning!)

hehe, isn't this wall fun?! I think it should be a floor! Make people take off their shoes before walking in, and then lay down on it! Don't you just want to be in there?
GREAT TILE, MISTER.
More beautiful work...love seeing it all and how you transform it.
These bricks are wonderful, bright and breezy. The text tile is beautiful too.
YES!!! This is awesome, Seth!
Love your Graffiti Brick Wall, what a great idea.
amazing graffiti wall...enjoying the progress of all of your projects!
What a very cool way to interpret the project! I really really like it a lot. Your bricks are richly textured, colorful - and the flies on the wall?! Too much - I love that. Great work Seth!!
fun happy college flashbacks- that's the music.... i always felt the floyd music as grayer, even tho there's energy there.....i do love the art and the collaboration-
I'm waiting with bated breath for the next step. The bricks are beautiful in their own right but the graffiti is going to be the cherry on the top.
Ah, so I guess you would call it "bricolage"!

your concept of the project proves right on!
the background is going to make for some awesome graffiti backdrop
hurry up and finish...i (a-hem) i mean 'we'
want to see the finished process
:)
It's going to be wonderful! Chaotic order.
wonderful seth!
Nice work. Those colours are intense!
Bricks - what a marvelous idea! The colors are amazing.
The brick wall is gorgeous! can't wait to see the next step. And I love this text tile!
Love your interpretation... the graffiti will collaboration in fantastic.
Really enjoying watching this evolve.
Thanks for visiting my blog. You comments always make feel like an "artist". I love your brick wall idea and the papers you have used. You have such a creative imagination!!! I'm anxiously awaiting the graffiti!
AWESOME! Love all the texture, but I REALLY love the typed words along the bottom left quadrant of the piece (of course)! If only I could go spend an hour or two in my studio... I'm inspired to go make something!
