I am a Boulder artist who has recently become the Street Artist Smile as a way to give back to the community that reared me and that I am now a contributing member of. Often times in urban landscapes the hyper-drive to build means creating wasted space and urban dead-zones along with the new structures. My project consists of finding these 'dead walls', ie walls that are ugly and a sore sight to passerby's, and enlivening those spaces with stencil images that are meant to give the observer an unexpected opportunity to smile.
