Although the shark’s reputation is often fearsome, Toof says he uses their image instead to give strength, optimism, and possibility to the viewer. “The shark icon is a voice of rebellion, a conduit for the unheard, and an homage to graffiti art and its purpose,” he says. Telling @wdwlls that the shark images also grew out of a desire to create interactive work viewers could stand next to, touch, and take photos with it’s not surprising that on a recent visit to Melbourne, Florida to check out the Eau Gallie Arts District I had to wait to document this wall while a girl took photos of her boyfriend carefully placed in the mouth of this fearsome creature. This 2016 work is on Eau Gallie Blvd near Pineapple Ave and the Eau Gallie Causeway.  @shark__toof  @egadlife

After graduating from LA’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Christopher Maslow quickly made a name for himself in clothing design, but soon found himself subject to the pull of street art. Eventually responding to the call of fine art Maslow now lives in Melbourne, Florida and has been a resident artist at Miami’s @viophilia​ studio collective since 2013. While Maslow’s fine art practice is now primarily centered around painting and sculpture he has not lost his love of street art and has a number of high-profile walls under his belt. This recent wall was painted on Guava Ave in December, 2017 for the Anti Gravity Project—a week-long expansion of the Eau Gallie Arts District outdoor museum begun in 2011.  @christophermaslow  @egadlife

Show announcement and Peek of my pieces. This Saturday 7pm in Eau Gallie, FL. Tim C Shubert had an amazing concept and let each of us choose pages from a book of #crimescenephotos in the early 1900s. The photos are black and white and will be displayed with the works. I did 2 pieces - but (I’m not sure they will both make the limited display space. I’ll post full pics later). Translating the stark, clinical feel of the black and whites into paint made me feel a connection to these unfortunate souls. The first was a man dragged into a dark space and abandoned. I painted him with a grittier textural feel in oils and wax on Masonite. The second, a woman, I painted in a more expressive way in acrylics focusing more on her departure than her actual demise. She struck me as someone with dignity and the old Baptist hymn that says “I’ll fly away” kept running through my head... and I’m not a church & hymnal type. So come see how each artist interpreted their photo in Eau Gallie FL. I look forward to hearing your reactions. #spacecoastflorida #eastcoastart #artshow #eaugallie #eaugallieartsdistrict #eaugallieart #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorkphotos #gmluttrell #gmluttrellart #murdermystery #availableart #unsolvedmysteries #forgotten #outsiderart (at Eau Gallie, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_eBd6Akas/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cy7rheidfxrh
