Description
I’m inaugurating this project with my first Graffiti Friday post. I have a series of graffiti pieces that caught my eye, made me laugh, or made me think. This one was on St André des Arts, around the corner from my first Paris apartment. I loved that trip, that neighbourhood, and that welcoming feel I get from the city as a whole. Good days ahead, I hope.
My artworks are toner photo prints, handcrafted on 8×8″ wood blocks. To differentiate them from my regular photo blocks, I am adding a metal leaf border and a cast-metal fleur de lys clavos at the corner of each piece, which will come with a signed certificate of authenticity indicating that it is a unique print created for the “City of Delight” project. I have set the price of each piece at $75 to reflect Paris’ famous “75” postcode. 20% of my profits will be donated to UNESCO and the UNHCR at the end of 2016.
