Coloring Life

 These are all amazing street arts from this freelance photographer and street artist, Color Me Katie. New York City seems to be more fun and playful with Katie’s creative mind around. Being able to secretly interact with strangers is sneaky and fun about one part of her job and life style.

The top picture was a brilliant idea out of a random wonder of hers. What is he or she thinking about while wondering around in the city? The unconscious performance brings more fun and laughter to the busy New Yorkers. People need some time in the day to simply relax and have a little fun.

“People need to interact more with each other instead of being so distant.” This was said by Katie during her miniature documentary with Babelgum: Film Radar Eleven - Color Me Katie. Even though New York can be full of inspirations and high capacity in population, people do not usually make any interaction on the streets. Design can bring laughs and create the most memorable time of all. Design can be the best bridge to connect people and communication together.

Design is not so much about fame, but what it impacts in others. I admire this type of Peter Pan-style design which people design tricks to humor others; moreover, make a quiet interaction with others. Katie’s humor works with the design because of it is harmless and amusing. Furthermore, this example of environmental design can brighten many people’s day with this simply cutout paper art. 

Keep out kind of a child, and be free to wonder, explore, and have fun.
