Hi there,
I'm allie and I'm one of those tacoma kids. The kind you see lurking
around king's books and stadium video, wearing big sunglasses and
making inappropriate amounts of noise on city buses. But that really
isn't the point, the other day I picked one of those city art's
magazine and read the article about you guys. You are amazing, you
are doing what every person in every city should do. See, I have been
stuck in a really specific region of tacoma, the proctor/huge houses
on yakima area and i realized that i want to see everything else. And
that's what you do, you see all of it and know it's beautiful and that
exactly what i want to do. So i that leads me to my questions. How
did you start doing this? And can i help?
Sincerely,
Allie D.

Hi Allie -
How did we start doing this? You know, there was nothing to it. We knew of other people who did it in other cities (obeygiant.com, for one) and we wanted to do it here, in Tacoma. So we just kind of started. We started doing it using nothing but Kinkos. You could do that. We've met other folks who also do this kind of thing around Tacoma, altho much quieter than us and without a website. How did they start? They just started. So if you want to start, I say start. Just start. Grab some friends and start.
How can you help? The best thing you could do, to be blunt, would be to do your own thing. That's where the real fun is, I think. But you're more than welcome to come watch us and hang out. Bring a friend or a parent or something and come by. You'll have to be patient, as we're lousy schedulers and pretty inconsistent communicators, but if you're persistent and patient, we can hook up.

Hi Lance and Tom,
Congratulations to both of you/Beautiful Angle! The Tacoma Arts Commission voted on Monday night to award you the 2007 AMOCAT Community Outreach by an Artist award! As you may be aware, the Arts Commission gives out three awards each year for involvement in and commitment to the arts in Tacoma (one for artists, one for organizations, and one for patrons). You two were nominated for this award back in May and, at their September meeting, the Commission voted on all nominations and you were the winners. The Arts Commission wants to recognize your work in helping to spread accessible art (literary and visual) throughout all areas of Tacoma through the Beautiful Angle wheatpaste posters.

Greetings. I just came across the Beautiful Angle website. It's a
great project!
I'm the director of The Society of Typographic Aficionados, a
non-profit organization dedicated to type design, and typography, and
related arts including letterpress and screen printing, graphic
design, and hand lettering.
We present a conference in a different host city each year. This
year's event, TypeCon2007, will be held in Seattle, August 1-5. Would
you be interested in showing posters at our conference? We present a
variety of exhibitions during each TypeCon, and I'm always looking
for interesting work from the region to showcase.
If you are interested, let's talk. I think selections from your
project would make a wonderful addition to our exhibits and to the
conference as a whole. It would be a great chance to get Tacoma
represented during the event as well. Visit http://www.typecon.com
for more info about TypeCon.
You can reach me at 510-748-0784, or let me know your phone number
and a good time to call you.
All the best, Tamye

Hello:
If someone were to ask me my top five favorite things i love about Tacoma, i'd hem and haw and squirm about #s 2 through 5 but #1? Hands down, it would be Beautiful Angle. Everything about your monthly guerrilla art project draws me in...the process, the originality, the beauty, the poetry, the endless source of inspiration and grace your posters provide. Seems i am met by your creations, always on exactly the right day in exactly the right moment. And the message? Also on target...every time. Thank you for your work and for your continued efforts. You create...we receive. And i am grateful.
I have one of my favorites, in triplicate no less (because three always feels like the first real number), hanging from my bedroom wall. Reading May 04, "Claire" every day fills me up every time, and i'll keep reading it until the message no longer has meaning.
I had the good fortune of meeting you at Kings Books at this year's Wayzgoose, and enjoyed printing out my own April's poster. It's beautiful, and with text regarding ashes, very timely as my mother passed away in January and my brothers and sisters will be releasing her ashes into the waters off her favorite beach on Lopez Island next month.
A simple but heartfelt thank you for stirring my spirit each month.

I believe your strong graphics/art direction prove that.

The posters pass the 50ft-15ft-5ft test.
At 5ft the words provoke.
I saw your work at the Main Library Gallery, I think a few years ago,
And was very impressed. Meant to comment then but.........yadayada.
Great work. Tacoma needs it.

Just wanted to let you know that your beautiful angle donation created a certain amount of scurryscuttle around them. My dad built frames in a narrow black and they were mounted on ivory watercolor paper behind glass. Each one went for the maximum guaranteed bid which was triple it's value plus teh value of the frame. It was a great crowd for them and I think many people may have been directed to your site because of them. Thank You! Our auction was a success, we missed you and your wife. Next year we are shooting for a more humble event (more L'Arche -style) so the tickets with hopefully not be as steep in price. We'd love to see you and your family.

eventually moved away. I visit every 2 weeks to visit folks and to
visit MSM or the sweet Cheesesteak shop on Hilltop. I love what you
all do, and have many posters Ive ripped from the posts (sorry) and
one that Ive bought straight from you.
Im writing to see if you have any extras from a recent work you did.
The text is something like, "The special thing about tacoma is that is
not special." Its something along those lines, though not those lines,
not even close. But Im sure that you can figure out the real poster.
Do you have this for sale? I'd kill for a copy.
Thank you for doing what you do. Its a fucking joy coming home (tacoma
is my real home) and seeing your stuff on the posts. Makes me so, so
proud of my city.

Subject: Interest in posters for art lesson
Dear Anglers,
I’m working up a unit/lesson plan dedicated to street art and the 1st amendment for my Masters in Art Education. I found you through the wikipedia while searching for examples of specific forms, i.e. Wheatpaste, stencil, stickering, et al. I grew up in the flourishing beginning of skateboard culture and have always been fond of street arts. I would like to build a collection of artworks that can be used as a foundation for my interests in this art genre. I’d love to have many of your posters but grad school always presents the financial burden of macaroniandcheesism. Of the collection, my fav’s so far are:
SAVE ME*
DOUBLE BRIDGE (for continuity)
FEEL YOUR WAY
HOLE
IM HERE *
RISK LOVE (I can’t afford it but I love it)
SHHHH (great example of what could be done for our local empty bowls fundraiser)
OK, so I’d love to get a hold of a few posters- do you think you could let a few go for some dough and a good cause? Would you like a copy of the lessons that relate to wheatpasting? Maybe an artistic/academic trade could work?
Also please check out some of my photography at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ggunter or at my site which is due for a refresh in the next month or so http://www.garrisongunter.com
Thanks and Aloha,

We have been in Tn. for 18 months. Despite the shared first letter, there is no similarity between anywhere in Tennessee and Tacoma.
My husband is a poet/singer/songwriter and I am an artist. We lived in Seattle for awhile before the Tennessee thing, but are looking forward to getting acquainted with all things Tacoma. We are both so happy to know that Tacoma is a Holy City!!!! ("Biblical Erotica" is one description of my husband's songs.

i.m a former tacoman now living, unfortunately, in denver.
i moved away from home just as the beautiful angle project was
starting up, and was absolutely thrilled to see a "diy" art movement
coming through tacoma with true talent and vision behind it. my best
friend and i spent many a night driving past the b.poe downtown,
checking to see if there were new posters up.
i just visited your website for the first time in probably a year and
i must say, i am disappointed to find that you have begun selling the
posters, and for a seemingly pretty penny.
was this done to cut down on overhead? i certainly understand that it
takes money to make the posters, but at the same time the idea of
selling them seems contrary to the vision behind them.
i mean no offense, i.m honestly just curious as to what brought this
change about.

I went down to the library and saw your exhibit over the July 4th
weekend. Great fun! I don't pretend to understand ALL of it but much of
it was meaningful and very interesting. There were others folks browsing
through it at the same time. I love the references both to faith and to
Tacoma. My mom grew up in Tacoma and my dad came here when he was right
out of high school, so I have a lot of history here and I love the city. In
fact, my dad worked on the old, red fireboat down on Ruston Way.
Good job!

hello,
I have just recently returned to the Seattle/ Tacoma area from los angeles where i was working on films. I have been seriously thinking about putting up some guerilla poster art, so it was a wonderful coincidence to come across your flier a few weeks ago. I went to see your show and I'm really impressed with the content and style. I think it's a wonderful thing to bring positive public art to this community. What's in the works now?

Hi Guys,
Just stopped into the library today and saw your posters (most of them for the first time, I am chagrined to say). Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the posters and also how much I love the whole concept. I will keep a sharper eye out from now on!

i first saw your posters in august or september 2003 -- the one about the bridge -- when i first moved to tacoma. i wanted one for myself and i searched the city but they were all glued so firmly! then i saw other posters, and it started an investigation of tacoma: where could i find more posters? where were the places you mentioned on your website? it was like my own nancy drew mystery. the posters made me explore the corners of tacoma and learn about the city.
if i were going to make a poster...
i would want one with something about mount rainier. ok, i realize you long-time tacomans might be bored with rainier but i've only lived here 2 years (yikes, that long already!) and i love rainier, especially from a distance. i haven't been anywhere else that has a mountain looming over it like tacoma does, and it always pops up where i don't expect it.
i would do something about Cindy, the lonely elephant who used to live at the point defiance zoo. because i have always loved elephants. and zoos are strange places.
i would do something about my new puppy. because even though i love my dog, and dogs in general (all animals actually), i can't believe the money that people (me too, a little) fork out for their dogs! doggy-daycare, doggy-salons, doggy-boutiques, doggy-bakeries, doggy-beds, doggy-parks ... but no one seems to have any spare change.
helga.
p.s. i've been wondering who ernest s. brazil was.

Grew up across the bridge in Gig Harbor, Dad grew up off 30th near Pearl, spent every weekend playing at Candle Park, going to the Proctor District, TAM (at the old building), learned how to drive stick on the hills of downtown, still teaching people on the same
hills, teaching at Lincoln High School, going to Art Walk, need I say more? Actually Pat Erwin the principal at Lincoln High School wants your group to collaborate with the students at LHS, especially my printmaking class for next year. I was wondering what your group is doing this summer and would like to get involved with you all. Also would like to see
your setup etc. Thanks for any help.

Wow Tom and Lance this is really awesome. I'm so glad that you guys are still making your art! I'm gonna grab a bunch of my friends and take them all to the exhibit when it opens. Congratulations! I hope I get to see you all soon. I've been kind of busy travelling and
trying to get work, but things are beginning to slow down. We all should go wheatpasting again sometime. Nicki and I are working on a zine which we hope to publish. When it's done I'll be sure to get you both a copy. By the way, my band is playing at Woodsong this year. It should be lots of fun. Talk to you later, Daniel

Hello-
I saw your work at Renee's. I love it. Is there any way to purchase some of these beautiful prints? I am a recent transplant from Reno, NV. I really appreciate Tacoma because it is so similar to Reno in all of it's hidden wonders. The prints rock.
Thanks!
Carly
