Color: Angus Hooper

In a world full of wild colors, I enjoy finding unusual examples of urban "Artwork" that has unbelievable colors, shapes and lines.  this dumpster, this wall, the cone, the tree and the debris on the ground made a fun image for my needs. 

Movement: Angus Hooper

I enjoy proof of motion left in dirt, paint, or other sturdy mediums.  This spill was at the entrance of an alley and the smaller prints were running for a good solid half of a block.  I look at the spill (another favorite topic of mine) and then imagine the vehicle that lost the bucket off the back, the paint splashing on the road, and the next vehicle following behind and creating this impression.  The whole image is one movement after another proving the end result, the mess left behind.

Decay: Angus Hooper III


The word decay to me, brings to mind a number of disgusting and sickening images.  As a child, it was always pounded into us, this battle against tooth decay.  Crest, Aim, Arm and Hammer, and the rest of the major tooth paste brands all were formulated to "fight tooth decay".  As a child I dutifully brushed my teeth every night before bed (with some reminders from Mom).  As an adult, I became lazy.  I found myself without a normal bedtime, found myself with bad habits (smoking, too much sugar and soda), and found myself not so dutiful of my nightly teeth brushings.  This image, printed and on the wall near my bed, might be the perfect reminder to get back to my regular brushing, and to properly take care of these teeth of mine.  (At least its a theory).
