When thinking about sustainability, local artist @_gregwashere_ remembered a favorite saying of his grandparents: “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.”

The phrase originated during the 1930s - 1940s. Those hard years necessitated that people be creative in the ways they used and reused what they had and the saying became a popular way to encourage what we now call “repurposing” or “up-cycling.” Greg updated the phrase to reflect the project’s goals of raising awareness around paint stewardship.

The project’s mash-up style evokes reuse in another media, collage, as if the mural itself was comprised of disparate paper cutouts coming together to form something new and beautiful.

Special thanks to @keepamericabeautiful for their partnership, and to the project sponsor, @werecyclepaint

“Empire Rising” ✨ 2024
Providence, RI
A piece celebrating the intersection of queer culture and historical Chinatown in Providence ❤️ absolutely loved researching and filling this piece with contextual details, textures, characters and flourishes. Memorable processes include getting to speak to the leader of Providence Pride & local purveyors of the original Chinatown’s history, applying color & life to portraits of historical figures of whom we only had b/w photos, researching the history of covert queer hangout spots and working out how to honor their history visually, accessing/mining the archives, getting to render some ornate Asian pieces that I am obsessed with, meeting Providence’s best Asian drag queen (hellooo @laddanurv !), getting the full tour of PVD’s queer nightlife (fruit loop ➰) and trying to stop my hand from going numb while I sleep. All freehand all day. One of my favorite mural painting experiences. Huge thanks @confluxartprojects @inoperable @nicholasplatzer @laddanurv

Tag along on the Mural & Gallery Tour with @pvdtourco with us 🫧🤭

This walking tour is perfect for visitors wanting to explore the city OR for locals who want to learn more about our city’s art scene!

We saw 3 galleries and 10+ murals on our walk. I’ve personally walked by nearly all of them every day, and now that I know the actual stories behind them, I have such a greater appreciation for the art, artists, and the city.

Besides the Mural tour, Providence Tour Company also offers food tours, ghost tours, history tours, and even a cocktail and spirits tour. 🍸🚶

Check out @pvdtourco for all the behind-the-scenes and follow @goprovidence for all your PVD insider tips. 😉

Painted this “battle cat” exactly 10 years ago in Providence RD with @inoperable . At this time I painted a mural that size every week. Complete breakdown inevitable. Still great memories of this trip. Thx to @nicholasplatzer for hooking up the good times in your home town ❤️🙏🏻

Guided tour highlights!
.
I had the pleasure of guiding two street art tours through Vienna thanks to @callelibre & @ais_vienna. Taking visitors around to see murals old and new by artists like @janaundjs @misterwoodland @mantrarea Roa @frauisa @francofasolijaz @frank__maria and many more! (Forgot to take pics at every stop) 🤦🏽
.
Shout out to the 40+ people who walked the 2+ hours through a scorcher of a day! Thank you @karmaeva_anuta for putting it together. Thank you @pearlteinert for bringing your IB Art students down. And what a treat to get to meet my old business partner Nathalie Halgand in front of one of our old murals by @bezt_etam

„Morning in Barna“ by Jaz / Argentina
for Calle Libre Festival 2026 // In Equality
📍Krottenbachstraße 104, 1190 Wien

„The mural is based on a series of paintings where I reproduce the intimacy of my daily life since the pandemic. In the time I lived in Barcelona I shared the apartment with friends from around the world, one of my long term roomies is Natalia, an Argentinian trans woman. I painted her with the cat of the apartment, Daniel.” via @francofasolijaz

Thank you Franco for coming back to Vienna after many years and leaving us with this amazing mural <3

Big thanks to @nicholasplatzer from @confluxartprojects / @inoperable for the cooperation and support!

@callelibre opening 2026

Manche Abende bleiben. ✨

Letzte Woche beim Opening des @callelibre Festival 2026 im @schlumberger_artspace – und ich bin noch immer ein bisschen benommen davon, auf die schöne Art.

Das Buch "Masters of Street Art" @michaelharker_photographer wurde präsentiert, das Street Art nicht nur zeigt, sondern versteht. Und ich durfte das Vorwort schreiben. Ein paar Sätze, die ich lange mit mir getragen habe – über Straßen als Leinwand, über Kunst, die niemanden um Erlaubnis fragt.

Dann ein Panel Talk mit @inoperable @confluxartprojects , der wirklich was zu sagen hatte.

Cocktails. Begegnungen. Dieser besondere Vibe, wenn Menschen zusammenkommen, die alle irgendwie für dasselbe brennen.

Danke für diesen Abend. 🖤
