As the Diva of the Olympia Dumpster Divers, it is my duty to keep you posted on the recycled art activities of ODD and other re-artists, but I am also interested in green/eco-issues, artsy dolls, and street art.

Mike Pelly from Olympia Green Fuels was interviewed on the Frugal Yankee Radio Show about bio-diesel.

One of my favorite doll makers (okay, so he calls them “action figures,” really, what is the diff?!), Mike Leavitt of Intuition Kitchen Productions, is praised by Regina Hackett on Art to Go here

Beth Miller, formerly of Seattle’s Street Smart Art, just lent me “Getting Up: Subway Graffiti in New York” by Craig Castleman (1982). And Suzanne sent me a link to the New York Times article Walls of Art for Everyone, but Made Not Just By Anyone, which is about graffiti artists in 2007 complaining about their art work being included in a book about graffiti without their consent. There’s also a streetsy.com flickr discussion of the NY Times article HERE

If you only have time to go to one street art blog, Wooster Collective is the place to be; check out DAve’s Explains Street Style and then let’s start a project like this in Oly!

But if you want to see what is happening at the Oly Free Wall, then go see Chaney here or enpen here and here.
