About the artist: Through pen, pencil, paint, crayon, marker and scissors, Scarecrow (Facebook page) expresses what he saw growing up in New York City during the birth of hip hop and graffiti and the era of Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Romare Bearden and Andy Warhol. "My New York experience manifests itself through my art. Abstractly I assign, define and interpret color, shape, line, space and time. Art is my therapy, outlet, connection and retreat."

About TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show: An official gallery on the Downtown Arts Disctrict's Third Thursday Gallery Crawl, TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show is an art show in a UHaul produced monthly by Mark Baratelli.

Walk up the loading ramp each month and see a new featured artist and their work hanging on the truck's bare walls. As night falls, the christmas lights taped to the ceiling barely light the mobile gallery.

MSN.com named it one of America's 10 Wackiest Businesses on Wheels, the New York City culture blog Culturebot called it "very cool" and Orlando Weekly named it an Editor's Pick in the 2010 Best of Orlando list.

Its been seen at Enzian Theater, The Milk District, United Arts and Barnes & Noble and has featured poster designers Lure Design, sketch artist Thomas Thorspecken, puppeteer Jack Fields and theatre lighting designer Aron Altmark, to name a few.
