Today during some of my downtime at work, I finally designed the ‘99′ I am going to wheatpaste on my building’s door in Greenpoint. I figured since my door doesn’t even have a real functioning address anyhow, I might as well help out the mailman. You’d laugh if you saw what was up there now (wish I had a picture).
I ran old and yellowed newsprint through our HUGE Canon laser printer here at work. I had to cut down the sheets so I could affix them to color laser tabloid paper (to act as a guide, either that or the newsprint jams). The 9’s came out great and I am really excited about finding the right opportunity to put them up (unfortunately the forecast this weekend is a wet one). When the time does come, I am definitely going to enlist a little help from wheatpastin’ extraordinaire Clint.
Up until now, he’s been having all the fun in my hood.
