An underground artist clade in Detroit is painting the city's many derelict buildings "Tiggeriffic Orange," in order to liven the landscape. They call the project "Detroit. Demolition. Disneyland."
Link (via We Make Money Not Art)The artistic move is simple, cover the front in Tiggeriffic Orange - a color from the Mickey Mouse series, easily purchased from Home Depot. Every board, every door, every window, is caked in Tiggeriffic Orange. We paint the facades of abandoned houses whose most striking feature are their derelict appearance.
Update: Gooch sez, "Tyree Guyton just spoke at UM Feb. 9th about his work with the long running Heidelburg Project, were he paints and decorates abandoned houses and areas in Detroit and has been since 1986."
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
