How to do a guerilla comission


See G+d sneak down small street in Rozelle, armed with knit up, wool needle, tags and snips. This was the "commission".

"Guerrillas don't do commissions," the guerrilla said," it kinda wipes out the guerilla-ishness of the whole thing.... .they just appear you know.... out of the mist..."
"No, no payment, yes...her birthday....yes."

Small street in Rozelle has surprisingly curious neighbors.
A family of six with dog stopped by to admire and ask what it was, another woman crossed the street to check it out, then from a very shiny car, out steps

extremely elegant woman with Margaret Thatcher hair.


Fabulous cream pants suit, elegant woman began chatting.

"Oh " she said in her most polite voice, clearly delighted but not sure
what to say next. Off she went to her very elegant house.
On went the birthday wish tag, and away into the mist.

  2. Can I talk to you for a minute?

    Is this the most AWESOME EFFING THING EVER?! How marvelous! JUST when I thought everything had been done, I come over here and every single time, you've done a new thing!

    Can I stalk you? Send your itinerary out here to the USA and I'll adjust my internal clock.

  4. Excellent example of fine guerrilla technique (except for the "be seen by no one" part, but still !) Mission accomplished ! Absolutely gorgeous mission, by the way !
    Cheers,

  6. hey there Missy!
    I am delighted at
    the way the guerilla artist's attire is so perfectly coordinated
    with her art...
    that will happen you know

    and so much more snappy
    than the elegant pant suit

    grrrrrrrrrrrlicious indeed!

  16. great gift!And I'm thinking that the grrrilla-ness has to do with the way your free-think got into Ms. PantSuit's head....next time she might....wear Purple!

  17. Sheer delight! I know that if I had to happen upon one of your pole huggers it would put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Is there any feedback? I wonder what birthday girl thought about it.

  21. It IS very cool, nice colors too! I will be showing my guerilla photos in my next post I think. Been putting stickers around in public places and taking a photo.

    And I wanted to also tell you that you have been tagged by me back!

  22. The majority of clinical care should still be provided on an individual cialis dosage 15mg, patient specific basis. The ingredients in this have been precisely balanced to complement each other and produce positive results in a basically short time. To use a cialis dosage 15 mg product as safely as possible.http://www.buy-cialis-online-now.com
