On August 21, 2017 “The Great American Eclipse” passed across the US with the peak duration and eclipse experienced in the country’s heartland. With Kansas City lying on the boundary of its “Path of Totality” local artist Jason Harrington, aka @RifRafGiraffe, organized the city’s inaugural Solanoir Mural Festival in  to coincide with the occasion—renamed @SpraySeeMo for 2018. Among the artists from near and far eager to participate in the rare event was Peter Robinson, aka Ten Hundred, a Michigan-born artist and designer living in Seattle  where he also creates clothing, toys, and figurines for his shop, Statix. Painted over 4 and a half days, using mostly spray paint but with some rolled on latex for coverage of larger areas, Ten Hundred says it was an amazing experience painting as the sun was blocked and city turned dark at 1:00 in the afternoon.  @tenhun  @solanoir  

In 2007 two African American architects shared a vision for a new kind of practice and together opened Pendulum Studios on Holmes St in Kansas City’s East Crossroads Arts District. “Long before it was cool to live, work, and play in the neighborhood” the partners were collaborating with the many creative enterprises that already called the district home. When the partners heard about the Jason Harrington, aka @RifRafGiraffe, plans to create a new street art festival, @SolaNoir, timed around the solar eclipse of 2017, they were happy to be a sponsor and “100% geeked out” at the opportunity to have one of the festival headliners paint their building. For his part Brazilian artist Senna whose work “often talks about solitude, love, friendship, passion, conformity and family” responded with this skyward-looking composition.  @alexsenna/  @pendulum_kc/

It's #firstfriday ! I'll be in the Crossroads this evening selling prints and original drawings, paintings, and more. I've got to get rid of this stuff before I run away to grad school. Make me an offer I can't refuse! . . . #KCMO #art #crossroadsartsdistrict #illustration #prints #embroidery #painting #bookart (at Crossroads KC)
