This past weekend Jason and I were invited back to our alma-mater Purdue for an event through CMC called Red Starry Night. It was street festival with live music including activities for attenders and a market place hosting local artists and their work. Other cool features were a table set up by Compassion International promoting sponsorship of impoverished children from Uganda, henna tattoos, cards for kids and a s’mores making station. The art showcased many forms like zombie statues, stickers, caricatures, pottery, painted art, bead-work, and clothing. The night proved to be a blend of world and self awareness mixed with art and conversation. An other awesome feature was the beautiful weather which lent its self to a totally relaxed, artsy atmosphere of hanging out and enjoying God’s goodness.

Jason was invited to do his street art also known as Spray Paint Art. He makes planets and space scenes with spray paint and various round objects. This is more or less a hobby from his teenage years that he pulls out when asked. It was a great time. We were very glad to be back with old friends and enjoy the beautiful night. Here is a sampling of his spray paint art.

The only bad thing about using spray paint as a medium is the 2 day headache aftermath. Good thing he only does it every 3 years or so.

The night’s work.

In between music sets Jason would gather a faithful following to watch the painting evolve from beginning to end.
