Pashur at Outsidelands 2013

Held in the famous Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Outsidelands is a 3 day music festival, with a killer line up! The festival was so amazing that you quickly forgot about the chilly weather! One of the really cool things going on involved painters through out the park working on massive murals, sponsored by Juxtapoz magazine. Painting in a place surrounded by art and music, makes for a great weekend!

Over the course of the 3 days, I had several people return each day to get painted by me, it felt pretty good! Some of the more unique designs were Monster faces and a dinosaur eating an eyeball. Now if only someone had asked for a monster eating a dinosaur, that was eating an eyeball….oh well, there’s always next year!

During my breaks, I was able to network with other companies, and gain some more exposure for my art. While walking the grounds I saw several other painters - however they didn't have the 2 hour line that I had, so it was nice to know people favored my art! On my breaks and after I finished painting  I got to see bands perform such as... Paul McCartney, NIN, Hall & Oates and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Such an interesting mix, and I enjoyed them all!

While body painting several Red Hot Chili Pepper fans, I told them that the Red Hot Chili Peppers original band name was the Habanero Homies. They all bought it hook, line and sinker. Of course before they walked away, I revealed to them that I was just kidding….or did I?

Two negative parts of this gig were...
Many people were pushing "Save the Earth" vibes, yet most people treated the grounds like their personal garbage can. The second negative was that trash that was littering the grounds came from over priced, underwhelming, disappointing food!

My evenings were spent at the Marriot Marquis hotel -  it had an amazing view of San Francisco from  the 39th floor lounge, The View. You could see the whole city, and what a cool city it is.
