I spent 4 years on the administrative side where I was the artist curator, and the juror for the artist that participated. I have been a part of this organization and this event for the last 9 events. The Armored Lion protects us from anyone who tries to come for our city. In the mural, the Columbus city skyline is in the background and the Armored Lion represents the OSU football team and the Soldier represents our rival, Michigan. The Armored Lion is my brand as an artist so, what other way to help grow your brand, than to use it as an OSU reference. It depicts a soldier with a staff about to face the Armored Lion. The mural I chose to paint was from an original picture I drew in 2015, “Armored Lion”. God willing, one day, I will lease a studio at 400 Rich and further grow as an artist. A few people know who I am but, many don’t know about me. I wanted the opportunity to showcase my art but, more importantly, I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself, the art community. There are hundreds of artists that have attended this show over the years. There were many reasons I chose to do Urban Scrawl. We want to shine the light on some of that. We have an awesome music/artistic history in Columbus and we want people to know about it. In three out of four years, we have done a Columbus musician. Rob: Because it is an awesome venue for public art.
He was an amazing Hammond B3 organ player. We just wanted to pay homage to Frank Marr. He did a piece called the” Twittering Machine.” All these birds look like they are going up and down out of an instrument. Paul Klee is a favorite artist of all of ours. We each researched him independently and came up with some ideas. Rob: Those guys are easy to collaborate with. We are just the vessels that support him. Rob is the master mind who comes up with the ideas. Before that, we did MaryAnn Black, who was a local R&B and soul singer. Two years ago, we did a tribute piece to Columbus’ own Camu Tao who was a local hip hop legend. If someone is interested in your work, how can they find you?Ĭraig Allen, Gerdeman, Instagram: Jones, me about the collaboration.Ĭraig: This is our third or fourth Urban Scrawl together. We were given instructions by our wives because we all have children, “You will finish it on Saturday, so people can enjoy it on Sunday when you are home cooking dinner for your family.” There is some tweaking here and there, but we are almost done. He was a professor at Ohio State, and Fort Hayes. He played the Hammond B3 organ in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
He was one of Columbus, Ohio preeminent jazz musicians and an East High School graduate in 1945. It looks like you have multimedia going on here. (Craig Allen, Dan Gerdeman, Rob Jones), Urban Scrawl 2018 After that, I’ll go back and do some detail work. I’ll paint everything and then I’ll put it on the panel. I mainly use spray paint and acrylic paint. It gets your creative juices flowing for sure.Ī 3D Angler fish that interweaves through some seaweed, with an ocean background.įor me, it is a lot of prep work. It is nice being around so many different styles, and so many different processes. I do 3d stuff, so I was going to bring that to it. You do whatever you want in the two days allotted. They each get either an 8 by 4 or a 4 by 4 panel. Urban Scrawl 2018 Patrick Wayner, Urban Scrawl 2018 I walked around for several minutes just taking in the scene before I settled into obtaining blog information. I was overwhelmed with the number of artists creating art. The music was at a good level to allow for comfortable conversation with the artists. A person only needs to show their id if they plan to purchase alcohol. I walked about a block or two to get to the event. Don’t be like me and throw in a couple extra quarters just in case.
