Berlin artist Aisha Ronninger is quickly climbing the charts in my book with her new pet project, Papergirl. While Berlinites (yeah, I know that’s not the word but it flows off the tongue…) were debating whether or not to punish wheatpasters as harshly as graffiti artists, Aisha was finding a way to stay out of the clink. So in 2005, with the genius spark of a friend (as so many insane ideas are born) she began a movement, distributing art to random fortunate strangers like paperboys in America. Wie? Genius! And since her idea has spread like a SoCal wildfire, spawning clones like Papergirl USA, I don’t even have to smuggle myself into a holding crate on its way to Germany. Which is ideal because I need leg room when I travel.

Check out her interview with the always fantastical Cool Hunting. So that you don’t mistakenly call the police when you see me riding down your block sporting a pageboy, on my pimped out tricycle screaming “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” It’s always been a dream of mine…

Yup, I’ve decided that this is an amazing idea and that to capitalize, I am going to print my posts in size 112 font, roll them up and throw them at unsuspecting pedestrians. Because my art is far more effective when it’s hitting you in the face. Literally.
