I’m Happy, I’m Famous, I’m an Artist

If you are a lover of art and you want to know all the must see exhibitions – worldwide, a website that must be bookmarked and visited daily is that of the Happy Famous Artists.  Since their launch in 2004, they have written about thousands of artists and art events and their website is likened to an online encyclopedia of coolness.  They are artists in their own right, and their works have been in exhibitions all throughout Europe.  You can imagine my delight when I looked at their site yesterday and their must see blog of the day was none other than According2g.com!  I am happy to report the kind words they wrote are all true and I am so honored to be mentioned on their site that I love so much.  The mysterious artists recently took a trip to New York and I was fortunate enough to meet and make some art with them.  In the tradition of artists such as Banksy, their identities are unknown to the public at large so as to avoid being mobbed in the streets.  They were kind enough to allow me to take a photo of them, with my hand, of course, and when I uploaded the photo, their faces had been blocked out.  Tricky!  As you can see below, this is the photo we took together.

I’d like to thank them again for being extremely cool, knowledgeable and for making great art that is changing the world, one person at a time.
