Boston Strong



Yeah Bitches!



It's a Flag Kinda Day


Considering the recent events with the Boston Bombing, and the suspects found last night, I dug up a Frederick Chide Hassam painting, you know, Mr. Flag as I like to call him.  And because there was so much reporting with smartphones, I found both in one with his image.  Here you go:

Johannes VanDerBeek, Wall (Tall Toes), 2012

"I wanted the shapes to be animated but also very much connected to the flat stillness of a wall that retains a vacancy for subliminal projection.  I found that as I got deeper into making them there was a secret I was trying to access in the brick"
