18th April, 2008

The reason we settled on a range of products is because other things didn’t work out either because of time constraints or because it didn’t bring out our purpose.
From out locality we found that these painters and artists do not have shops and can be approached only through mobile phones. We tried to reach anyone who could guide us and tell more about the street graphics. However, we found it extremely difficult. Here, the main constraint was language barrier. The local people of Yelahanka New Town were reluctant to share information with outsiders.
We finally managed to contact Mr. Yeshu, who is a wall painter. We strictly did not use cameras because they make people conscious and a lot of useful information is lost. Yeshu is a wall painter and does not paint boards and advertisements. He tried to help us find some artists but did not manage.
We will hopefully manage to find someone tomorrow. Other than that, we sat and figured out basic material and skill requirement for each product. We have more or less figured everything out and will get started soon!
