A street art pioneer, @KennyScharf studied in New York, was a roommate of Keith Haring, and traded art with Andy Warhol. Reflecting an early fascination with television and the futuristic promise of shows like The Jetsons, Scharf's anti-elitist work often includes pop culture icons and spans a wide range of practices including sculpture, fashion, video, and performance. Back in his native Southern California Scharf recently moved from his Culver City studio to a large space in Inglewood and is working as hard as ever, telling @GalerieMagazine at one point "I don't stop—seven days a week, ten hours a day." Back in 2013 Scharf visited the @PimaAir & Space Museum in Tucson to participate in the Bone Yard Project, painting "Back to Supersonica" on this out of service Lockheed Jetstar.  @kennyscharf  

With more than 350 historical aircraft filling 6 hangars and covering over 80 acres of desert on the outskirts of Tucson, Pima Air and Space Museum is one of the largest non-government funded aviation museums in the world. Following on the success of an earlier project, asking a group of artists to paint nose cones of airplanes for a show, in 2012 gallery owner @EricFirestone added to the museum collection asking several high-profile street artists to paint entire planes. Among them Andrew Schoultz, whose work draws inspiration from German map-making and Persian miniatures and often references chaos and destruction in the world around us, painted this Lockheed VC-140—the military version of the JetStar—looking out over Valencia Rd.  @aschoultz  @pimaair  

Designed in the 1930s the Douglas DC-3 revolutionized air transport and is still in use more than 80 years later, especially in parts of the world where runways may not always be paved. The majority were originally manufactured as the military C-47 but a number of C-117 variants were also produced and several of those have found their way to the Pima Air and Space Museum, the largest non-government-funded aviation museum in the U.S. In 2010 gallery owner Eric Firestone conceived the Boneyard Project, originally inviting urban artists to paint nose cones and then in 2011 to start painting complete planes for the Pima museum. One such C-117 was painted by Brazilian Francisco Rodrigues da Silva, aka Nunca (“Never” in Portuguese) who began spray painting in his poor São Paulo neighborhood as a symbol of rebellion. Today Nunca’s work has become far more elaborate and has been displayed in galleries and museums around the world.  @nunca.art  @ericfirestone  @pimaairandspace  @pimaair  

Has anything in your life ever made you feel small or less than? What was that “one moment” in your life that made you question yourself. I’ve definitely had more than one of those moments🙄 2020 challenged me in a way I never thought possible. Some days I felt nothing but helpless and small, overwhelmed by all the negativity. . The one truth I do know about this life is my God is a big God and he can handle anything. I’m thankful that on those days when I feel like life’s problems are too Big, God has a plan for me. Nothing is to grand for him and he’ll give me wings to fly through the dark and land safely in the light. . Wishing you light and love today and always. . . . . . . . . . . . #tucson #pimaairandspace #tucsonmoms #tucsonarizona #tucsonaz #tucsonbloggers #plane #art #planes #fly #flight #arizonabloggers #arizonalife #arizonagirl #desert #jesuschrist #jesuslovesyou #christiangirl #jesusfreak #darlingescapes #travelgirl #femmetravel #travelstyle #travelblogger #shetravels #travelphotography #travelgirl #traveltheworldᴜɴᴀᴘᴏʟᴏɢᴇᴛɪᴄ #discoverunder5k (at Pima Air & Space Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CONzx4NlEDr/?igshid=1p2188u6kmz54
