When art and bikes collide in Portland.
In 2009, Abraham Ingle brought Berlin’s Papergirl Project to Portland. Over 200 pieces of original 2d art were displayed in a gallery, then rolled up, and distributed via bicycle to randomly selected people on the streets of Portland.

Just a friendly reminder. If you live in the Portland, OR area, I’ll be giving a lecture at Portland State University on Thursday, November 5th on the theme “Love What You Do.” Specifics here.

The lecture topic is inspired by the theme of the graphic design student show that opens on Thursday as well. The poster promoting said show is above. The students have done a great job producing materials and promoting the show, and I’m anxious to arrive, share some thoughts, meet the students and see some great work.

See you there?

Today we unveil a bona fide Megafaun video, crafted on the road this summer to the tune of “Impressions of the Past.” We’ve watched this so many times. I think we’ll watch it again now. While we do that, you can read a little thing we wrote about the beauty and her maker, our friend Tim:

Thousands of miles, thousands of images. On tour with their new album “Gather, Form & Fly”, Megafaun was captured, piece by piece, by the photographer Tim Lytvinenko. Part-documentary, part-sense memory, Tim’s images took on a life of their own as he traveled across the west with the band, the music, the landscape, and everything in between. He set his first magical trademark sequences to the album’s epic and beautiful “Impressions of the Past” —- and a video was born. Further shaped across the plains, the mountains, the coast, and the desert of North America, the video became a daily experience for the band on tour. Tim’s memories became everyone’s, almost just as real as the moments they documented. This seemed to be the perfect expression of this song —- one that came by surprise, and one that conjures up the collective nostalgia of Summer 2009, and perhaps all those bygone seasons before.

So enjoy. Put yourself in it. Fill in the blanks.

Megafaun “Impressions of the Past”

Directed by Tim Lytvinenko.

Produced by Hometapes.

Buy “Gather, Form & Fly” on 2xLP or CD here.

this song and video are so damn good, as an added bonus, see if you can spot yours truly…
