Huge thank you to Nancy Kirkpatrick, Maryellen Groundwater, Megan Low and Dustin Whymark for a beautiful day!
Is it GUERILLA ART if you’re openly squealing with laughter?!
Captured moments:
Most of the pieces remain untouched, even after several weeks, even after a year.

And we added more.

Wheatpaste (also known as Marxist glue, or simply paste) is a liquid adhesive made from vegetable starch and water. It has been used since ancient times for various arts and crafts such as book binding, decoupage, collage, and papier-mâché. It is also made for the purpose of adhering paper posters to walls and other surfaces (often in graffiti). Closely resembling wallpaper paste, it is often made by mixing roughly equal portions of flour and water [and some sugar] and heating it until it thickens, or by smearing cooked rice into a paste.

Oh, China Marker I doth love you so.
It’s my medium of choice for my graphic novel. When I die, bury me with a fresh china marker box and a pad of newsprint. Then cremate me ’cause I’m claustrophobic.
Here are some samples from this week’s China Marker portraits.
