Vibrant Concepts of the Billboard Art Project

My artwork is being featured as part of the Billboard Art Project. This is a public art event which is happening on digital billboards across the United States. The program explores and promotes the use of LED billboards as an artistic medium.

Following are images of my digital work for this event. I combine sections of my original artwork with positive messages. My objective is to inspire conscious thought in the viewer.

Note: These images are all copyrighted by me. Using them without my permission is in violation of copyright.











These images will be on display in Chicago, Illinois, from October 8-16 and again on October 22-23. Each will be shown for 10 seconds interspersed between 5-6 frames of advertising,  along with the work of 82 other artists. I don't have an actual time when mine will appear. The Billboard Project has a Facebook page where people can upload their pictures of the billboards, so hopefully someone will be able to take a picture of one.

The digital billboard can be seen on the east bound 1-90 Expressway just after it crosses over Oakton Street. Here is a map of where the billboard is located. I drove past it on I-90 and I was only able to glimpse two ads in rotation. It is best viewed from a stationary position on Hamilton Street in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights.
