The Community Grows

It’s been a busy week already in the Uncommon Community! We welcomed five new artists to the site, so take a minute to say hello and check out their work.

If you happen to be in Itacare, Brazil this week (wish we were!) you might run into Billy the Artist, pictured above, at The Breathe Foundation’s world summit. He’ll be hosting seminars and workshops for kids and painting a skate bowl. “I’ve done numerous mural projects and workshops with kids around the world,” says Billy. “My favorite part is their spirit and energy.”

And in June, Billy makes his mark at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. He painted two Les Paul Gibson guitars that will be on display at the Cleveland museum and then auctioned off at a gala event. The collaboration seems appropriate as Billy’s New York East Village studio is across the street from the old Filmore East rock club where Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix played.

Grab your own piece of Billy’s “urban primitive pop” and support the Uncommon Community!
