"Push"- photo document project day-3 is UP!!

3rd day... Push started paint colors.
The very first color was red in little squire-ish box.
It's deep process to decide which colors goes to where, what color goes to the next each other include all balance and dynamism of piece overall itself.
It's another delicate stage that makes his magic happens.
Fatigue had been building up for all night painting for 2 days in cold temperature.
Interior of the store started coming in. People from Hurley were working during midnight with us too.

3日目、色がのり始める。一番最初の色は、小さな四角に赤、だった。何色をどこにいれていくか、どこを塗らないか、色の組み合わせ、と色々な要素が入り組んで、まさに、Pushのピースがやばくなる、慎重に進められる工程プロセス。寒い気温の中夜中だけに進む作業3日目で、Pushだけでなく、video crewのJeremy, そして私も疲れがたまってきているのがわかる。
店内のインテリアの骨組みが入り始め、Hurleyからのstuffが夜中に働き始める。

"Push"- photo document project day-2 is UP!!

Day 2 got published on Knowngallery.com
Check how the white wall (at the very beginning) got covered with his lines and.. more is coming.
On the Second day, we still had a "hole" on the ceiling and no wall but covered by "panel fense", = Basically it was outside cold temperature.

PUSH-day 2 @ Irvine
PushのMural Install, day 2がknowngalleryにupされました。(良いペースです!)
一日目の白壁が、どんどん、pushの黒いラインで覆われていくのをチェック。
2日目は、まだ天井に穴が開いていて(のちほどガラスの天井が埋め込まれます)、工事現場を隠すためのパネルフェンスの中は壁がなく、基本的に寒い外の気温の中で作業が勧められました。昼間は、店内の工事が勧められていた為、作業は出来ず、夕方5時位からpushのinstall 作業が次の日の朝方まで、というall nighterな毎日。
hurleyサイドからのvideo撮影、Jeremyは、つきっきりで滞在。私は渋滞を避けた夜にドライブし、朝3時半位には帰る、というおいしい所とり?、な撮影で、documentは進められました。
