Love Shack
In March 2012, Danielle Spradley and I were lucky enough to participate in The BFT And Wolfbat Railway project in New Orleans. The event was organized by Dennis Mcnett and Sean Starwars and sponsored by Vans Custom Culture. Over 40 artists from across the country came to customize a 100 foot model train engine and boxcars with the help of students from McMain Secondary School in New Orleans (as well as a ton of young and old printmaking enthusiasts from everywhere). After three days of hard work, print shows, art markets, po' boys and good times, the train was paraded through the streets of the Marigny and Bywater.
Please see the photo set by Colin Sussingham and Dennis and the great video below by Josh Nardo at Vans for a better idea of the whole awesome experience.
