It's not as fun as skateboarding, but more fun than smashing the headlights out of cars with your skateboard.

Some kids think vandalism is fun. When I was growing up in the rural radness of Kent, Washington, there were plenty of kids breaking things, stealing signs, spray painting walls and so on. Skateboarding kept me away from (most of) these activities but lately I've been feeling like I need to partake in deviant activities after dark that don't involve drinking or hurting people.
With no interest in harming public property or risking severe penelties, I have come up with an "idea" that is fairly non-invasive, mostly harmless and really fun. They say laughing is the key to excellent health (uhhh...I may have kinda made that up a little) and if this is true, I think I'm going to avoid the common cold for the next 15 years.

You'll see art from myself as well as a lot of other local artists/friends. Look for more color to come up in the next bombings. Email me with ideas.

Monday nights are sometimes boring.....so we decided to do something about having nothing to do. Remember, it's static cling and it's harmless......even the 3 foot long sausage won't hurt anyone.

We ran into Ben Beres so later that night we decided to pay him a visit and leave him some JiLf sausage (yeah, sneak attack! His apartment window):

Dave Bloomfield and a static cling kit of his silliness!! Fun!

I'm trying to keep most of my focus on static cling but you'll probably see other mediums posted in this blog. I'm not limited to static or vinyl so there's always something fun to do in the studio. Magnet art will be coming soon. Everything is first tested in the studio before hitting the streets. Due to the removeable/reusable nature of static cling and magnet material, public installations don't last long. I'll photograph the interactive bombings so more people can see them.

A large adhesive image from "Urban Beach Scenes", a series by Amy-Ellen Flatchestedmama Trefsger. Watch for a showing of this work -hopefully in the near future. The large print was made from a photograph, taken by Adam L. Weintraub (2006). Pretty rad!

I'm currently working with some of my favorite artist on a colab project called "Static Invasion." Keep your eyes open. You'll know a lot of the work.
