The good folks over at Brooklyn Street Art just sent me an e-mail about a collaboration they completed with NYC-based artist, Logan Hicks. Over the weekend, Hicks, who is best known for his hand-sprayed stencil work, painted this massive 30′ x 8′ mural (his biggest yet) at Espeis Outside in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The mural, titled “Sailor,” is named after (and depicts) his son. BSA also has an interview with Hicks, so head over to their website and read the whole post.
As is the case with all art in the 21st century, pictures simply aren’t enough to peak people’s interest, and thus time-lapse videos have become the norm. Click through to see the creation of “Sailor” and to read a quote from Hicks.
“I am trying to filter out all the background noise in my life and make my art. All the haters, all the fans, all the blogs or magazines, or other artists. I think it’s gotten to a point where the best thing that I can do is just retreat into myself and speak honestly about what I am going through. For so long I have worked to gather information. Information about galleries, artists, processes, blogs, magazines, curators, etc. Lately I realized though that none of it matters. The only thing that matters is the here and now. The only thing that matters is what I am going through.” -Logan Hicks
