The last couple months have been busy with art shows, preparation for more shows and a couple local murals here in Austin. Several months back I flew out to El Paso to paint for the Neon Desert Festival. That was followed by Grafficanos, an all Latino graffiti influenced showcase at The Mexic-Arte Museum in downtown Austin, where myself, Daniel Anguilu and the Sour Grapes Collective painted the outside of the museum. Check out -Fat Cap's article on the show.
This last week I was in a show at The Continental Club Gallery with Austin's own Federicoand then painted the outside of Sugar Mama's Bakeshop in the ATX with NYC's very own Toofly. Our piece made "piece of the week" in C.O.P. Magazine. Check it. I am on hold with painting at HOPE's outdoor gallery for now. Austin has many gorgeous walls that are waiting to be painted and I officially have the itch so stay tuned.

Sorry for not updating more often...The past few months have been busy. Today I started what will be a several months long project for Hope Campaign-www.hopecampaign.org
It is called Local to Global and is the first legal "outdoor gallery" in Austin, Texas. There are many artists involved-Obey, Sloke and Rei to name a few. I am not sure what my theme is yet, I guess it will unfold as I work. Below are some pictures of Day 1

I am working on painting the inside courtyard of the punk rock bar The Brixton on Austin's East Side. So far I did 1 of 3 panels during SXSW. I also painted a fun little party sponsored by Montana Black at The Metropolis Apartments during SXSW alongside Sloke, Mez, Task and some guys from San Antonio. The 8x4 panel I painted sold on the spot!

| 10/14-08 Here's a tight article written by Asia from Girlspeak, and online magazine based out of Chicago. www.youngshicagoauthors.org/Girlspeak/2008 | |||||
| Breaking the Barrier by Asia Calcagno Born Eleanor Herasimchuk, the skater-chic artist, Niz, has dominated the underground artist community as her own by creating original skateboard and stencil art. Her ideas and inspiration come from subcultures such as pop, graffiti, hip-hop, reggae, punk, and skater cultures. Extending from just the main branch of paint on canvas, you can find her work anywhere from the street, to clothes, to grip tape. Whispers roar about her art being heavily religious, as well as the famous celebrity faces living through her controversial masterpieces. Influenced by her youth growing up in Lima, Peru, she learned how to appreciate culture at a very young age. Niz, along with her parents and younger brother, moved between Peru and the United states. She remembers traveling and art being a huge part of her childhood. By finding influence in all artists and people who put heart and soul into their passions, Niz rewards herself by transforming her experiences and the people that she meets into works of art. While having an impact on breaking into a male-dominated field, she wishes to have a positive impact on people's everyday lives by living through her pieces. "Whether it's a beautiful thought or a feeling of awe or inspiration." It is a massive issue now-a-days with society holding back women from being successful. Niz admits that she has not been hindered, but it took a little longer for people to warm up to her work. "You have to be that much better at [what you do] because people may scrutinize it more. Being a woman in a male dominated field can be the best and the worst thing." Many may argue that Niz's art is represented as a form of activism since it is public and abstract. "I think that anything creative, when you put it out there and translate it in the public experience, it becomes a form of activism. Like, 'Here it is, this is what I think'. It is a way of exercising your voice." We have got to give Niz her street credit on being a female rebel, bending the rules a bit and taking matters into her own hands. She gives this advice to young women who wish to follow the path that she has taken: "Have fun, and be persistent." You can always check out Niz's work and purchase awesome items on her website. www.nizgraphics.com | |||||
