Happy New Year to Business of Street Painting readers!
Our first 3D street painting of 2018, 'Fire Snake in Glass Blocks' for Entrepreneurs' Organization New York.
The piece was done in a few hours in chalk for the family event on the West Side of Manhattan in the Hudson Yards area.
We were turbo charged to share the 3D piece with many young attendees receiving a positive message of achieving the goals and dreams in a fun, family setting.
I am listed as part of the Expo Activities -
Like the ongoing development in the area, Art for After Hours looks forward to creating our 3D and 4D concepts using augmented, virtual, and mixed reality for clients in tradeshows, launches and events - large and small.

Happy 2018 Everyone!
With a new year underway, we look back at the 2017 3D and 4D pieces by internationally recognized artist Anthony Cappetto created around the US and around the world.
The art was fun to design, to create, and we look forward to more 3D art for our clients, returning and new.
New York Build: Javits Center, NYC
Inspired by the iconic 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper', we created the steel beam hovering over Manhattan at a Building Tradeshow.
'Collapsing Ramp' Garden Grove, CA: A 3D chalk art piece tying in augmented reality (4D) seen through an onsite monitor. We used digital models of robots and fluttering flags of our client to bring human interaction (me on bicycle), the 3D hand drawn chalk art, and the augmented reality animation.
Sunflowers and dragonflies in Battery Park, NYC: A street art installation for an event for Battery Park City Parks in June.
'Freedom' Baltimore, MD: A social and political statement made to address the current atmosphere in the US with the concept of butterflies escaping oppression in any of its forms in September.
'Betta Fish Kite' Crewe, England, United Kingdom: Expressing the beauty and conceptuality of a fish kite hovering over the countryside at a festival in the UK last August.
'A Puzzling Reality' Tizarte Event in Antwerp, Belgium: A 3D street art piece using a purposely fading motif of a puzzle fading away to 'reality' and objects such as the sunflowers fading from higher resolution to simpler resolution. Our dragonflies were designed consistently at the same level across the piece to overlay/tie in the fadeaway concept.
' Refugee: Here but Not Here...': A serious piece address the issue of refugee children throughout the world, although we focused on Syria, South Sudan, and Myanmar. The child in an atmosphere of desolation enjoys a respite blowing bubbles (given to her by an aid worker) evanescent, temporal just as we feel for the child's plight but move on quickly - Here but Not Here...
LIC Beer Festival, Long Island City NYC: A sunny Fall day brought us to create this entertaining design with pumpkins, pretzels, and of course - beer!
This was a fun year with the art experimenting with tying in animated augmented reality, conceptual ideas, sociopolitical messages, and interacting with our public in the US and abroad.
A special thanks to Wendy Stum who assisted and collaborated with me on some of the pieces especially 'Freedom' and ' Refugee: Here but Not Here...'.

We've had a summer (and early Fall), series of 3D street art that has taken us back and forth from UK and Europe, to express a timely statement, and finally to bring 3D chalk art as local entertainment in our home base here in New York City.

Late Sunday afternoon in Long Island City with the Manhattan skyline in the distance. It was great to be able to do these 3D street art pieces in different places with fun, interesting people, creative artists from different parts of the world. Most exciting projects await!

I had the pleasure this month to be invited to participate in 'Part of Antwerp', an international art festival as one of a group of top street artists creating 3D street painting at indoor and outdoor locations along the Port of Antwerp. I was the sole American artist participating at the Festival. This is my 3D street art piece - 'A Puzzling Reality...'.
This piece in its concept uses a motif of fading imagery and approach starting with the puzzle itself. Viewers noticed a puzzle piece that had fallen out of the vertical panel which is actually the 'real' of the group of sunflowers in a field with dragon flies under a blue sky with clouds.
The puzzle piece at left falls onto the puzzle on the ground area in front of the vertical while I pick up another piece to put into place.
The puzzle itself fades away into reality in a similar way to different drawn aspects of the art themselves fading from completion such as the sunflowers, leaves in higher detail radiating from the seed centers to the grass at the bottom front of the 3D illusion. The dragon flies, drawn from the standpoint of a graphic complete the connection of the art as a cohesive 3D anamorphic illusion by Cappetto.

Along with many of the top 3D street artists in Europe, I had the privilege of doing my 3D street art piece. Pictured with his 3D installation is renowned street artist Gregor Wosik. I am interviewed about my work at the beginning and end of this video showing the works of many of the fine artists participating in the festival.
Here I am working on my piece, making sure that the last puzzle pieces are in place... :D
Thank you to my hosts, Part of Antwerp, the Add More Colors Agency, Nele, and the full team who made our artist experience exciting, fun, and fulfilling!

This year when we participated in the Little Italy Madonnari Street painting festival in Baltimore, Maryland we came to the event with a sense of purpose differing from previous years and in our street painting art in general.
With the election of 2016 decided and the new leader of the United States and administration underway we like many have seen noticeable, in our opinion, unpalatable changes in the political and social fabric of our Nation. We sincerely hope that this is short term in nature.
As the theme of the Festival this year was 'Freedom', we made our design decisions and developed the following statement on the events and climate.
'Freedom'
In the spirit of moral statements buried in the guise of still life’s in Europe in the 17th-18th centuries, we have designed this piece to make a statement on our current administration.
From a base drawn in the interior samples from Trump Tower NYC Lobby, that is tacky brass, black marble, a bust of what I call the thoughtful (moral) person hovers. The bust is wrapped in 18 karat gold barbed wire, the left side of the bust has red, white, blue streams following the edge symbolizing America.
The Freedom is expressed with bright butterflies escaping the barbed wire – free expression, the strength of the Constitution and American Principles victorious: free. Breaking free of oppressive thought and behavior this current administration is trying to impose upon the American People.
Anthony Cappetto and Wendy Stum
'Freedom': 8 feet wide by 16 feet deep. Chalk on pavement at the Little Italy Madonnari Festival in Baltimore, Maryland. Artists: Anthony Cappetto (lead) with Wendy Stum.

The weather was pleasant, allowing us to bring our statement to life... Below are details from the piece...
There is the rough beauty in the art which expresses our message...
All designs done by us begin with a simple yet approved to proceed sketch. This sketch is the one for 'Freedom'.
Completed 3D Street Art Piece 'Freedom'.
We felt that in this current social/political climate in America that a statement needed to be made in favor of the true strength of the American People against oppression, many different 'isms', and a recollection of our Nation's true ideals of Optimism and the highest ethical, moral aspects of our People.

Hello to our viewers from Little Italy in Baltimore!
Art for After Hours team of Anthony Cappetto with Wendy Stum (our Marketing Director) returned to Little Italy in Baltimore MD to create a new conceptual 3D pavement art installation at the Little Italy Madonnari Festival.
The 3D piece, 'The Movement of Change' celebrates dichotomies such as Order/Disorder, Past/Future, Traditional/Conceptual in its design.
Using the bridge as a metaphor of change atop a reinterpretation of the illusionary drop using aluminum ribs clad by glazing between horizontal concrete beams over a traditional outdoor scene.
We always encourage people to stand at each end of the bridge and in the middle to experience the anamorphic illusion of 3D street painting.
Despite some challenging weather, Art for After Hours designed and created a 3D installation well received and enjoyed by the many attendees who came by following our progress and experiencing interactive art.
