Return of the Artrovert!

Yes, it is true after a very long hiatus I have left a new artrovert. A goofy wooded standalone sculpture title "Pikes Pete". It was placed at the foot hills of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs, CO. Click here for more info.

If by chance you found it please email me and let me know how Pete is doing.

What is an Artrovert?

Back in the late 1990's I would leave an art piece in some public place with an attached note. The note encouraged the finder to take the art piece home, visit my web page, and hopefully pay for the thing. The note also encouraged finders to move the art to other locations, take photos, and e-mail me all about it.

I was hoping to post all kinds of wacky stories and photos on the web, but it just didn't pan out. I guess Artrovert was really just an attempt to sell a few paintings and get some notoriety.

I left several works in various locations throughout the LA area and even one in Kansas City. After a while it grew hard to leave the artroverts knowing full well I would never see or hear anything about them again. Anyway it is now 2008 and I've got the urge to start leaving some more art blobs out and about. So please stop back by to see all the latest artrovert adventures.


Here are some of the original artroverts from the summer of 1997.

Artrovert is Back!

Yes it is true, artrovert has been resurrected by Valery Milovic. Valery is a very cool artist who has decided to try and get artrovert off the ground once again. She has started a whole artrovertism movement. For all the info, check out her artrovertism page.

I was recently introduced to artist David Gerbstadt the undisputed king of art leaving. This guy has left over 2000 pieces worldwide since 1994. Check out his web site for all the details.
