Doodle IRL was a large-scale wheat paste mural mounted on the side of the Evanston Art Center facilitated by Mat Rappaport and Anne H. Stevens.
I approach large-scale surfaces (like a mural wall) the same way I approach decorating punk jackets and designing zine layouts. A mixture of DIY-style graphics, personal iconography based loosely on doodles, and the physicality of cutting and pasting culminate playfully in this mural titled "Doodle IRL".
Virgil Abloh moved the Louis Vuitton pop-up into Chicago that was covered in an all-over pattern with the company's signature logo. This is my response to the spectacle of the all-over patterned building but in my own style. Wheatpaste, with its history in countercultural graffiti and guerrilla art, was used to facilitate this mural. Large-scale Xerox printouts were pieced together and pasted with wheatpaste to create a loose backdrop for skate videos, selfies, and however the public chooses to interact with the piece.
