Hi Joey,
Artist Justin Desilva has completed several more crosswalks: Our Lady of Good Voyage, Lobsters, Howard Blackburn, and St. Peter’s Square. He’s had several requests for a postcard or some take away about his temporary project. If you see him, ask for a bookmark. Some of the murals are at different stages in their installation process; you will see him going back and forth to different sites. As this project is temporary, Justin will remove his work at the conclusion of his exhibit.
There is a Google map http://goo.gl/maps/mc696 with updated locations and photographs.
Gloucester Counts Down to Kindergarten streamed across the Sawyer crosswalk. Congratulations GPS, Sawyer Free, CAM, Art Haven and YMCA in partnership with the Boston Children’s Museum for planning what looked like a stellar, joyous event.
Question: Does anyone know how to persuade the seagulls to forego their perch atop the light above the crosswalk by City Hall and Sawyer?!
He’s going t remove them? I was looking forward to the crosswalks being painted so we can see them in the winter.

If this art was more than some joker putting photos through a stupid Photoshop filter then I might not be so snarky. But since you can’t tell what any of the photos are, it seems like a fucking joke. Makes me mad that people can pull off this sort of shenanigans And likely funded well .
In the graffiti world this would be called “toy” And would be painted over promptly. I wish there were more graffiti artists in Gloucester who would properly cover up this schlock. Watch out. Step up your game Or get stepped on

Thanks. You may not want a bookmark. The back asks what would you do?

Wait, this art is stepped on. The interactive, walk-able part seems important to him.

Photoshop filter does not equal art. Get skills and call us back

I think they are awesome, if look at them and really look at them from different distances you can see exactly what they are. Always let us look at things in a kind and positive way.
