Ill Gates:
This video came about both unexpectedly and fortuitously ... we had just cleaned up our rooftop when old friends iAmRurik and Creyote came by and just happened to feel like festooning every wall in our compound with their wild and amazing characters.
We decided to make a video for it using the thousands of photos we captured.
The song "My Special Place" seemed like a natural choice. My Special Place is a warm, personal and timeless song, the first to be premiered on ill.Gates' forthcoming album 'The ill.Methodology' (Muti Music, Spring 2011).
Please download and share "My Special Place" along with our special free pack of artwork, poetry and music.
Community Mural Project Proposal:
The city of Toronto is in the middle of a very ill-conceived crackdown on graffiti as our new mayor sees no distinction between murals and vandalism. We want to help change the public perception of street art in our city while strengthening our local community.
What we would like to do is get 5 floors of scaffolding and about 20 artists to paint a huge, highly visible wall in our community. We want to make a free event of it, having music and barbeque, and we want to invite members of the community to participate by setting up booths for both vending and networking on community issues such as the upcoming election.
We have all of the artists but we need art supplies and scaffolding.
