solve

just last week an artist named solve(brendan scanlon) in chicago was killed. i did not know him. but i see his stuff everywere. and just wanted to pay my respects, i thought this would be as good a place as any. the reaction on the internet and here in chi has been huge. 

its strange to be affected by the death of someone you've never even seen b4. and its not like i "knew him" through his art. i guess its just the fact that someone who would risk arrest, fines, even jail time, just to say......

should not be taken from this earth so inhumanly, or at all for that matter.

all i can hope for is that he is at peace. and that from all the sadness, anger, and pain of his passing, something positve and beautiful can be created.

a memorial....

please check out his stuff and keep his friends and family in your thoughts.

remember:

dont take art of any kind for granted, even the art you pass by on a mailbox or bus stop. because its there for your quick little smile as you pass. and you may never actually notice it untill one day its gone.....and you realize you needed that little smile.
