The Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog

  Hello, welcome back to my blog. You've read my blog entry about my visit to Van Go for some new mural ideas including "Camelopard Joey Mania". So today we’re gonna talk about an artist who also lives in Lawrence Kansas, and is famous for his work in murals and public art. His name is Dave Loewenstein. And if you haven't heard of his art months ago, don't worry. I've put together a special blog entry about it so that I can finally get to know him. For those of you who didn't know just yet, Dave Loewenstein is a muralist, printmaker and community organizer based in Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to his more than twenty public works in Kansas, examples of his dynamic and richly colored community-based murals can be found across the United States, and in Northern Ireland, South Korea and Brazil. Loewenstein’s prints, which focus on social justice issues, are exhibited internationally and are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York...

I got the time to learn new things, play around with the video software, dance to the music of Greg and Steve, played outside on the playground, ate a sack lunch together, did some story time, and a got to watch a little Sesame Street. Okay like one time when I was inside the children’s center and when we were about to watch a video presentation, the TV started the play Sesame Street’s 25th Birthday Celebration. It was way back here in 1993. It was a musical event that happened long time ago. It was shelved in ‘93 until it was aired on public television in 1994. I wish that I could watch that special again and watch Big Bird and all their friends from Sesame Street sing along. En Vogue was in it. Queen Latifah was there. Little Richard....

  Hello there, folks from back home. This is the start of a new monthly blog that I’ll be working on. Once every month, I will write about all things Lawrence, some new ideas [murals, concerts, events, etc.], and so much more. And after all, this is a brand new kind of blog in a different kind of way. So here’s the scoop. I’m gonna begin my first Lawrence blog with something fresh starting with some daily reviews on places I visit, do a top five of local events, talk about some new ideas for inside Riverfront Plaza, and some ideas for new murals for downtown. I’m also gonna discuss future jobs at places here in downtown and where to work at next when the time comes. Plus for other upcoming blog entries, I can also talk about the times I lived here and where I go to school for. More coming soon. Stay tuned for more blog entries and updates on upcoming Lawrence stories. This upcoming monthly blog is dedicated to all my friends who live here in the sunflower state, including Stephanie...
