We are happy to say our Daydream Art Run and Festival was a huge hit in 2018 (check out the recap), and we will be bringing this festival to the beautiful, art-filled streets of Miami and Chicago in 2019, and return for the Daydream Brooklyn for a second year! Check out how you can join and support the Daydream Experience.

If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely go check out the latest mural — by artist JR — at the Bowery Wall in New York City, on Houston and Bowery streets. I’ve been a fan of the French artist JR and his realistic renderings ever since I saw his Immigrants mural in Tribeca.

Runstreet was founded on the principles of art, camaraderie, equality and sweat therapy, and we are grateful we got to bring all of these principles to life in 2017. 

Runstreet was psyched to be a part of the NYC Marathon weekend thrills, with a Shakeout Art Run on the Lower East Side, hosted by Whole Foods Market Bowery location and co-sponsored by Clif Bar.

As I wandered around Boston to prepare for our Clif Boston Art Run, I came across two happy blue characters rowing along a color-splattered brick wall. They added such a whimsical, imaginative flair to the historic New England city, and I was excited to come across more of the colorful blue creatures.

For "Everyday Heroes," I created a garbage man, laundromat worker and delivery person, all in a heroic style that made them look legendary. I wanted to elevate people who often get overlooked and ignored. 

I never drew realistic photos and didn't think I was good. Until my sister showed me a movie about Basquiat and he came into my life and changed my views on art in general.

I was living in NYC and traveling the world, seeing street art all over the place. I was always inspired by street art, with its unexpected presence and transformation of public space. I also love the inner dialogue that happens between me and the art when I pass by. It's both so personal and public. One day, I couldn't stand how I couldn't feel inspired, so I picked a print of one of my shoe sketches and created wheatpastes and hit the city.

My goal I guess is that people get attracted to the work, stop, and get taken away in the moment…away from their smartphone and live in the present.

I first came across Myth's street art in Bushwick when I stumbled into this amazing super heroine calling for an end to catcalls. Thank you Myth for this interview, and I hope sometimes I'm at least half as heroic as your street art characters:).

Phoebe and her creator artist Libby Schoettle indeed charm, mystify, inspire and ultimately engage us as we follow Phoebe's adventures in love, loss, disappointment, risk, reward, seduction and modern living.
