By
now the whole world knows who won ArtPrize (just take a look above), and I must
admit this is the one that I was rooting for from the start! The piece was
absolutely unbelievable and made the room feel like it was a completely
different shape. Beautiful work! Max and I spent the last Thursday evening of
the event (the day before the winners were announced) walking all over the city
exploring the 2014 art (with hot cocoa in hand). It was a really fun night!
Our
last stop was The B.O.B. (naturally), but before heading inside we
decided to sit at a food truck and enjoy some warm beverages. Hot caramel apple
cider with WHISKEY!? Yes, please! As we were walking around sipping our
delicious bevvies, we stumbled across a spray paint artist. This man was incredible.
He started with a completely blank canvas and was all done in 5 minutes. Right
in front of your eyes! The tools he used to make the shapes on the artwork was
pure genius! Check out Cosmo-Joe!!
Other
than that, there was no giant Panda or flaming dragon like last year,
but ArtPrize is always an event that attracts talent all over the world and
really brings the city to life. I love it. And I love that my city has this
world renowned event!

Not to be unoriginal, but the winner is--by far--my favorite of the pieces you captured here. though the bullet hole/web does make me feel at home (j/k, mom). Some day I'll attend Art Prize with y'all. Looks like fun (hardly remember the parts we saw at the wedding...) XX
