Bataclan T-Shirt Project

with 2 comments

Three weeks ago while having coffee with Bren Bataclan he excitedly told me that he had a new idea to display his work.  We discussed the idea for a few minutes, but it hardly took me two seconds to agree to take photos for his first line of T-Shirts.  I think that if you take a look at the photos below you’ll agree, Bren has a fantastic product on his hands that will surely fly off his shelf.   Bren, thanks so much for setting up the shoot and allowing me to be part of it!

Bren Bataclan’s Smile Boston Project

with 5 comments

It’s rare to come across someone as enthusiastic about their work as Bren Bataclan is.  October marks the 6 year point since Bren’s first appearance at Cambridge Open Studios.  Since then Smile Boston Project has been helping to make people smile all throughout the world by leaving free paintings for people to take, each with a sign saying:

“Everything will be all right

this painting is yours to take for free!

When I asked Bren how many paintings he had left, he commented that “they are all serialized… but somehow I lost count.”  I hope that you enjoy the shots of Bren and if you see him around the streets of Cambridge feel free to say “hi” and SMILE!
