Papergirl 3

benny and I are huge fans of random gifting, so when we ran across Papergirl's project we fell in love with the concept!  Papergirl is a project that barrows the style of traditional paper boys, by distributing rolled paper artwork by bicycle to random people walking the streets of Berlin!  Each roll handed out contains multiple pieces of art that has been collected (people sending in whatever art they choose to share) over the last year.

It is heartwarming to see this project spread art in a way that honestly is the most gratifying way possible, as there in nothing better than random gifting to make a person feel loved!  Below are some photos of the event and be sure to check out the sweet video papergirl made, documenting all the love!

The fifth edition of the amazingly compelling festival, The Influencers, is just around the corner for all of those lucky enough to be in lovely Barcelona.  This festival is a major highlight for street art loving aficionados, hosting artists that have had a positive impact in this growing scene.

This year is not one to miss, with the likes of Blu, Improv Everywhere, Swoon, Wolfgang Staehle and more....  But the best part and reason we are soo bummed to not be joining in the fun are the workshops with Improv Everywhere on friday afternoon!!  If you get the chance to go we are officially jealous but will accept photos as a form of apology!  Enjoy!

Location:  Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona
