Tu Eres Hermoso.

I'm still waiting on my stencil/screen print to be done by Mr. W, so when that's finished I'll post it and whoever reads this (of anyone), can take a gander.
It's just a feminist symbol w/ the words "Sei Bella Una Persona" arched over it.
I'm now working on a very cliche, lame design that I would like for a stencil as well. It says COEXISTS spelled out by different symbols representing different faiths/genders/races/etc that resemble the original letters. Under it, it says "You are beautiful" very plainly and simply.
I hope I go to Gilman sometime soon so I can snap a picture of the graffiti I saw there not too long ago. It was gold and said You Are Beautiful. It probably won't be there when I go next though.
Here are some pictures from You-Are-Beautiful.com:

Meh, I'm kind of pooped.

Is there beauty in war?
Everything is art and everything is beautiful, people say.
What about war?
I'm in a debate right now and it's just kind of lame.

You Are Beautiful.

This is where inspiration from art class hops into my real life and thus, onto the internet.
If you are not familiar with the project, it is basically a project that has only one rule.
Spread the message using the words "You are beautiful" in any which way possible! Painting, performance, photography, stickers, graffiti, videos, ANYTHING!
See how creative people get:

http://www.you-are-beautiful.com/

Anywho, the point of starting this blog was expanding on my individual spreading of the message and seeing how many different ways I could contribute to the project. Hopefully adding to the growing awareness as well. So if this seems interesting to you, then definitely try it sometime.

Btw, the name of the blog ("Sei Bella Una Persona") is "You are beautiful" in Italian. Well actually it direct translates to "You are a beautiful person". "Sei bella" would be you are beautiful & "Sei bellissimo" would be you are so gorgeous or something. Haha.

But anyways, this is just the start!!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
