Papergirl Portland from abraham ingle on Vimeo.

My partner and I recently helped Abe Ingle and a small group of Portland art supporters, bike enthusiasts and pedicabbies to pass out hundreds of pieces of free art via bike all over the city. The project was called Papergirl, and it has its origins in Berlin. The art that was distributed was collected from artists who donated original drawings, paintings, and prints. After a month showing in Second Nature gallery, it was rolled up paperboy style, and distributed on the streets at random.

It was a great experience to be a part of, to see the wonder, the excitement, the hesitation and confusion of recipients young and old. Thanks to Abe for putting together the event in Portland.
