I’m a fan of The Wooster Collective and check out their stuff regularly. The idea of making art a daily part of human experience by making it an integral part of our surroundings is something to which we should pay much more attention. Art has a way of lifting mindless experience – the day going by in a hasty blur – art is something that suddenly stops – that forces attention – a particular inhabited moment felt.

On Wooster today I found doppelgangr. If you go to his site you’ll see the rather nice banner and, on the far right of it, the dude with the balloons. That image seems to be his brand. There are some really nice pieces in the site but it doesn’t have that many pages yet and so it seems like he’s just getting started. He has talent though and he gets around – there are shots in Boston, Calgary and Vancouver. Well worth watching to see what he comes up with.

I find that I really like the idea that doppelgangr is booting around the city where I live thinking about what he can do to add a touch of whimsey and a pinch of “wake-up!” to my life. Go dude!
