ELLIS G.- The Life of a Shadow

Love this pod! Adore the woman who thinks the mailboxes are two humps!!!

Icredible. I wanna go check out the rest of his work.

So I decided to do this in my area and got the same response. First cops drove up on me and my gf looking to catch us leaving graffiti. They called us weird then left. A half hour later two taggers thought we were invading their turf but seen it was chalk and left us alone. Eh, it was a strangely fun night. Thanks for the inspiration ellis.

can you draw your own shadow?

It's awesome to see new artists constantly trying to innovate with their works!

this is the single most original and inspirational art-form i've seen in years. the guy's awesome. i loved the way he handled the idiocy of the po-lice.

I live on the west coast & did the samething with flagpoles .
But making sundials
sitting all day
trasing every hour
I like your work!
chalk rocks !

I love the impermanence of it. Nice work.
I was waiting for the cops to pull out their water bottles. Ha ha h8rs, it just chalk. :)

well done video and amazing art! love IT!

awesome perception of art.. really good pod.

What a beautiful way to use art as a way to heal from trauma or pain.

This was most excellent. Cool little look at something different. I want him to do something HUGE!

Tight.

This is why I love NY, art, free-thinkers, youth, openness, imagination, inspiration, motivation and God.

Blessings to Ellis G for taking a life threatening personal violation and twisting it into a positive that is changing the world, one shadow at at time.

Shout out to the NYPD. lol.

Love It!

this style of street art is very common. many people in cities all over the world outline shadows. this guy is not the "inventor" of this.

awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome. to be able to find art in something so simple as a mere shadow really seemed to liven up the neighborhood. good feelings all around

Such a creatively awesome Idea. I kind of want to try it out in my area, do you think the artist would mind?

it's sik i love it. ART!

This was great, I loved the art work and how at night the outlines made the shadow seem more solid. Well shot video too, interesting and good use of narration.

this is absolutely amazing. i am so going to do this is my town. rock on ellis G. rock on! :D

thats so cool! i would have never even thought of that.

That was really cool. It always amazes me how originality can be born out of the seemingly mundane.

that's really cool.
just goes to show...you can make art anywhere and everywhere.

wolfdog, good article

excellent, really cool

AWESOME! Its soo cool and artistic. This is a great inspirational peice

this piece is inspirational. i hope he tries to outline the shadows of some really famous monuments in new york.
the video was great as well. the pace was very smooth and the shots of the his work worked very well with the story and the voice overs. keep up the good work cinquanta5000.

smooth.....the popping of shadows is superb

i love this great i love the things that come out of peoples heads.
very smart

Great visuals and you grabbed my attention with this video: I had Current on the tv with sound off. Went to the website later to look up your pod! Good videography--long enough shots not to be distracted by quick movement.

Ellis G's comments about his work were very interesting and formed a good story. And I liked the segue into the story: people looking at the artwork and trying to describe what they were seeing.

I liked the touch right at the end: outlining his face in chalk!
