Hello again my lovely treasure hunters! Got some catching up to do, so here we go. We've got through a few colors already (1 painting left for YELLOW), and after each color has been fully found, a post will be written. This way, you can see who got each painting and where they were left.
A watched painting is never found.
Since this project has begun, I've done my absolute best to try and film each time a painting gets taken. Something has happened almost every single time that has prevented me from capturing the moment... dead battery, double punching the record button, turning my head for 30 seconds, giving up and leaving after 2 hours (and then found exactly 1 minute later) I can't catch a break!! The reason I do this is the only thing in return I get from creating these treasure hunts. Nothing makes me more happy than to make others happy :) seems like a fair trade off right? When I first started this, I didn't think that I would want to stick around and see who takes each one, but as soon as I posted the first one, it was like leaving a child on a street corner. Maybe someday I'll put something together for all of you to see, but for now, I'll show you what I can. It's a good thing I make my finders take a selfie with their new piece of art to pick up the slack where my filming is lacking.
This is the letter found inside.
RED = LOVE
Simple enough. Each color will represent an emotion or characteristic of some kind and what's more representative of red than love? Decided this little happy go lucky fella should have some hearts for eyes (that glow under UV light)!
RED painting 1 of 3 was placed on the corner of 13th and Washington, just outside of Wax Trax. It was so early in the morning that I figured no one would get it for a while. I hung out for about 15 minutes, watched a few people walk right past it and left. Not 2 minutes later @uglytiki swooped it up, took a picture and ran home. Sweet, this actually works!!!!!
RED painting 2 of 3 was placed in the alley behind Tony P's off 17th and Clarkson. Thought the boundaries of challenges should begin to be tested. No surprise, but it turns out that my treasure hunters are wicked sma't. Saying something along the lines of, "If you recognize this view and this wall, this painting is yours." I looked down for two seconds, a car pulled up and a @mollyisme1 jumps out (I frantically try to get my camera turned on and recording) she sees the painting, puts her hands in the air, fits pumps and jumps for joy gets into her car and drives off. Missed the first exciting part...
RED painting 3 of 3 was left across the street from Sexy Pizza off of 11th and Ogden. Found by a curious @invadervega, she seemed to get the feeling she was being watched and played it cool. Although, you can see the excitement in her eyes!
CONGRATULATIONS to all my lovely treasure hunters that found the color RED. Next stop, ORANGE!!!
