A Few Pictures

So.
Up at American Greetings, we've got an art gallery kinda space upstairs near the Creative Department. People who work at AG can display their art, and if they so choose, try and sell it and they get to keep any earnings because the gallery doesn't charge any kind of commission.
The current exhibit is work from someone in the American Greetings Interactive Department, or the department that maintains our e-card website. Its titled 'Overspray' and is basically street art/graffiti. I've taken pictures of most of the pieces, but their are a few that I didn't shoot. And here they are.

These three are acrylic and something else which I can't remember at the moment.
And they're all printed on pages out of some kind of book
that helps put the phrase at the top into context.


Phone book pages



Paper money



Workbook pages



These are all acrylic, and I believe that
all of them are done on wood.


Dig Dug!



These five are acrylic on vinyl.
What they are is 'Sushi Pack!' which is
a cartoon (which AG created and owns)
of a four crime-fighting sushi and their
side kick which is a wad of wasabi.



These next three are acrylic and
spray paint on canvas,and are definitely my favorites.
I think what makes the piece is what he stencilsor spatters
on the chip board which he hung behind the pieces.
I would sooo take the orange one off the wall
and run away with it.




These are pretty nifty.
He took a bunch of MetroCards from
the metro in New York City and
took a paint pen to them.




These six are acrylic on purse, I guess you can call it.
All of the things painted on these (knock-off, cuz who
in their right mind would paint on an actual
Coach/Louis Vouitton/Gucci/etc. purse?) purses
are all characters that AG either owns or has a license to use.
I can tell you for sure that AG owns Care Bears, Pretty Freakin' Scary,
Sushi Pack!, Strawberry Shortcake, and Mad Balls.






Lastly, here is my cubicle!
Apparently it is one of the bigger ones.
