ST3NCIL SHOW CHICAGO....FEB 27!!!!



It's been almost 8 years since I lived in Chicago...this will be my first major exhibit of works in this town except for a few small group shows since.

I will be featuring my Latest EYEZ series along with works by two other Stencils artists from Chicago and Seattle!

Show Info:
Stencil art has a long, long history....like ancient. The history spans from pre-historic times (where the hand may have been the very first stencil pattern) through Edo period Japan, into Europe where Picasso, Matisse and many others experimented with "pochoir" (French for stencil) and onto the streets around the globe in more modern times.
For our next exhibit we take a look at three artists working with stencils today. St. Louis -based Peat Wollaeger brings us a character-rich cartoon-inspired style with a graffiti edge and will be featuring his latest stencil series "EYEZ," Chicago artist David Soukup explores the use of stencils to create intricate architecture-inspired works and Seattle-based Jonathan Wakuda Fischer mixes Japanese themes with modern culture and vibrant colors.
The opening reception is scheduled for Friday, February 27, 2009 from 6 until 10pm. All three artists will be in attendance.

The State of St. Louis Graffiti and Street Art



So St. Louis' weekly Alternative newspaper the Riverfront Times did an article on the St. Louis - Street art and Graffiti scene. READ THE ARTICLE HERE The article was originally slated to be about how artists go from the Street to the Gallery...But was duped in to a full flex local graff scene story.

My HOPE for our New President...


Electrical box....5 YEARS LATER! Doc Barack!!! from Peat Wollaeger on Vimeo.
At the end of 2003 I PAINTED THIS TRIBUTE FOR MY SON.
(It was my First Commissioned Stencil!!!!!)

I also worked a design gig...
mostly for good health care for my family.

5 YEARS LATER
(and many more commissions)

I almost do well enough financial to support my family,
but I STILL have my day gig with health benefits,
because it's too expensive to pay for on my own.

I know this is a massive concern and a similar situation for many Americans.

My "Hope" is that Barrack Obama will finally find a solution and create an affordable care system for all so I can finally free myself from working for "the Man" and focus more on creating art full-time.
