The Inaugural Instagram International Paste-UP Biennial

 This blog was a result of a conversation with a man who decided to start an international event to celebrate the work of paste up artists from across the world. Artist and creative 2020pws contacted me originally to ask if I would interview artists on my YouTube channel and I accepted the challenge. Over on my YouTube channel I interviewed a couple of artists however I was also finding that some of the artists didn't want to be interviewed or rather didn't want to appear on film. 

So I decided I would offer an alternative to film in the form of a blog so here it is....... 


As a paste up artist myself I feel honoured to be part of this and being able to interview artists who are involved. So I have created this blog so that the artists who don't want to appear on the YouTube channel have an opportunity to join in and answer some questions to allow people to have an insight into them and their art. 


With so many great artists involved in this project i am looking forward to see where it goes and meeting with some of the artists and finding out about who they are, what they do and why they do it..... 

Cheers

Question 1: As a paste Up artist your work is seen by many people going about their daily business- in that context do you think art can change the world and if so in what way? Changing the entire world is different then changing my world or my local world. I think it’s import to change local. Act local, Think Global. Spread lov...
