Description:

Welcome to the first Street/Lowbrow Art Appreciation Society group swap... do not attempt saying that after too many drinks!

So, let's ease into this, with a simple postcard swap. You will send 2 partners one postcard each, and on the back write your partners a cool note about your adventures finding/making the card. Your postcard can be store/gallery bought or homemade, but it must depict either some example of street or lowbrow art, or be in that style.

Examples are:

  • buy a Tim Biskup/Shag/whoever postcard from a shop

  • make a piece of stencil art and spray paint your own postcard!

  • make a street sticker and put it on a 4x6 card

  • do your own lowbrow style art and post that!

the fine print Send something you'd love to receive.

There are no rating restrictions on this swap, because i think we're all decent people in this group, so DON'T PROVE ME WRONG! If i hear of any flakers without some serious reasons you'll be kicked to the curb. Harsh, i know, but this is our first swap so lets all be awesome people.

If you think you might be late, get some communication happening with your partner!

Any questions, just ask!

I'd play, but I'm moving cross-country in a couple weeks - no time to make stuff or buy things not on hand... sorry!

Thanks for the invite- but what's a street sticker? :D

(pardon my ignorance)

a street sticker is another form of street art, i guess quicker and therefore more discreet than stencils or posters. the most well known would probably be the Obey Giant stickers by Shepard Fairey seen here and theres a flickr pool here.

You're not ignorant :)

Mrrranda, you're excused! Good luck with the mooooooving.
