  • 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!

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 was the first Current Pod I had ever seen. Saw it at a Current Screening/Info session and it immediately hooked me as a Current user and content producer. One of the best!

  • Veramente surreale come scelta artistica...
    Bel pod!

  • Interessante il video. La domanda è: Cos'è l'arte e chi può definirsi artista? L'artista di strada prova a spiegarlo al poliziotto. Viene in mente il video dell'artista albanese Adrian Paci che cerca di spiegare al poliziotto milanese che le foto scattate alle due figlie sono puramente artistiche e non pornografiche.

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