At Uncubed, Uni put his gas mask on and took it off as he worked on a multi-layered Kerouac stencil on the interior of the cavernous room. Kerouac was Theo's first major stencil project, and he enjoyed comparing the Denver locales that Kerouac describes with the ones he experienced himself growing up here. Uni is also putting up Kurt Vonnegut, William S. Burroughs and Elliot Smith images these days.
Square, a formerly gallery-oriented artist who has turned his attentions to street art for the past two years, climbed up and down a ladder, painting a floor-to-ceiling piece of a blindfolded woman with paint poured on her head. He'd taken a photo of the image first: Yes, the model got paint poured over her head; no, she was not handsomely compensated. Earlier in the day, a third artist, bunny M, put up a large yellow wheat paste on the side of the building that is still viewable from the alley and the parking lot on Larimer and 27th streets. She was at the event as well, walking around the gallery in a shiny, red bob wig and a bandana over half of her face -- perhaps attracting more attention than if she'd gone 100 percent incognito. The three artists seemed relatively unfazed by the possibility of getting picked up by the law at the even, although they all like to protect their identities. Keeping their profiles low also keeps some of the mystery of street art, bunny M says.
