“Chapter 1. He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion...no, make that: he - he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yeah. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.'
Uh, no let me start this over”
— Woody Allen, MANHATTAN
Digital Gumball posters
Bubble pop in New York
Mark makes posters. Oh sure, he could paint intergalactic masterpieces or whip up some brilliant avante gaurde compositions, but Mark yearned to make posters. Really cool Gumball posters. But where to leave his mark? Rogue postering in the night? Sell them from a boring booth? Nay, Mark dreamed bigger. That’s where The Magic Forge appeared like a scaly fairy goddragon! Behold! Mark reached out and a mad idea emerged. Gumball Posters everywhere, covering a piece of New York sidewalk wall. How you ask? Magic…and gofundme (links abound).
Mark plans to have limited edition runs of fantastic work to give us an authentic wall plastered with layers of posters for years to come! Building of the wall is awaiting physical materials and is slated to arise before October.
The Smoking Banana
When the sun goes down, there’s a duel a-brewin’. Join us as we make a mini Spaghetti Western at the forge inspired by DGP’s art. They’ll be behind the scenes silliness, sneak peaks, and, fingers crossed, 5 minutes of sheer brilliance by the end of it. Scripts are being written, wept over, and worked out. Bringing a little bit of Hollywood to the wild, one banana at a time.
There's nothing Like NY. The concept art informs the final piece. We plan to have the flats illuminated in true NY fashion.
Including an overhang to the design was a must. Which businesses to put on our facade our yet to be chosen.
Scaffolding of bars along with cement sidewalks strewn with artistically placed resin pieces of trash.
After this initial layer of posters, we will be adding new posters over time. Layers of art creating a constantly morphing piece of brilliance and fun.
Bold! Brilliant! And put up in a hurry. We wanted a blend of ideas to adorn the wall and went with a variety of posters rather than one singular print.
Posters! Posters everywhere and not a play to see.
Can't have a piece of New York City without a little urban art to decorate. We have a local artist in mind to spruce up the wall's street cred.
On the shady side of the street.
Look at all that awesomeness!
Miss July is a splash of color this winter.
New York in the desert!
Stunning in the sunlight!
Under Construction
The man with the plan at the scene of the crime.
In all this excitement I forgot to mention the choose your own duel duets coming to TikTok. Do you feel lucky?
