are you serious??? that is awsome, how can you remember to put the peices together like that when you do different stuff all around the city. That is just amazing!!!

[kkam030]

as great of an artist i'm sure he is, i assume he carefully plans out every project and has a note card of some sort. unless he's an actual super genius?!!?!??

[DonGuido36]

Crazy...

[RafaHatesU]

[Wooolfgang]

[ChrissyCullen]

Brilliant! I love your vids!! xx

[fingerman3000]

Man you are like the most creative artist I know. I love your work but I think you should have taken photos of them as they faded away, showing the goodbye part.

[Neuve0]

Wow, thanx for replying to my comment. Im honored, LOL.

Keep up the great work man. Come and do something in mexico and I'll invite you somewhere to have a drink or somthin.

[crazybilby]

lol ok :P

[dimezanime88]

Well I'm at least honored that you replied to my post.:)

[soozeemunkee]

YAY.... i love you phil!!!

[flydarling]

Just got back from holiday so catching up. This is a great video I love the way you put it together, superb editing. Great to see another part of the world and all the places you left smiles for people to see. Those smiles would have rippled throughout the city. Cheers, Lesley

[7368956]

man nice art, i was wondering if one of ur catagories could be like legos idk but anyways nice vid cant wait to see more

[crazybilby]

at first i thought "smily faces? thats not very artistic or original" then i saw what they came together as and thought "oh wow! that really is quite good that rules!" and my only question that remains is: did u get any strange looks from people wondering what a grown man was doing on his hands and knees drawing smileys?

[bukaboy7]

you are so godamn good - I'm leaving you notes all over your sites - I love it - there's always someone who belongs to the right now - 2007 - that's you philinthe circle - expletive gr8!!

[Neuve0]

Duuude, this was better than the leaves.

[Fable98]

phil... is so sweet... i wish i had enough time to do that...

[CyndaGandhi]

That was AWESOME!

[dimezanime88]

Are you allowed to do that?

[czechfou]

I see spreading the pics around with no strict plan to be better than spreading with some "point" - it would cause some more possible meanings, which could harm the pure beauty of the random spread. This way makes it less thought-out, but more real and felt.

Love your work, Phil ;o))

[JessiDlux]

Dude, I love this one! The way it was done, you always take so much into consideration, You think of every single little square, and how it must look to make its 'piece of the puzzle' work.

I've said it once, I've said it a million times, and I'll say it a million more in the future,

Your work is amazing, and I aspire to be like you!

<3

JessiDlux

[schafferssweetie]

pure genius! as always. pure genius!!

[foundationundercorp]

that was so random all the places they were in

[Cumquaters]

At first i was like smily faces... come on... lame! then i was like WOW. lol

[aqq1337]

haha i knew it will something incredible.

[TheFireGuys1]

Amazing as always

[lebellerose]

[ismellrottenflesh]

not only talent, also incredible persistance

[Nombre12]

wow

[gcmeanslove]

amazing!

[greyandredangel]

Your art is art on so many levels.

Art making one big face,

art making lots of little faces

and art making lots and lots of smiles on peoples faces :)

[LielieS]

That's amazing, just with smileys as well.. very good, you really are gifted for no doubt

[fotocarfotosar]

awesome.

really.

just awesome.

[C0nbine]

you.. are a true artist.

[jillian6x1]

i think you'll change the world some day

[msmaryx]

I want to know how you see the whole picture in your head and then know how to draw it piece by piece without seeing the whole in front of you. God has blessed you with a great gift my friend.

[VagabondLoafer]

Bravo!

[GoodGuyv2]

cool stuff phil, this is the first post , i thought, where the video was more artistic than the piece. good stuff

[23jedimaster23]

can i plz just ask.. what is your goodbye art its allways a face.. but what is it?

[DHS11999]

Phil, your gift puts so much love and light into a wounded and suffering world. May God bless and sustain you. Namaste!

[fallenskater1021]

wow, i really wish i woulda known he was gonna do a piece in minneapolis, i would have skated down just to see the smiles!

[sivartis]

that is so cool... Minneapolis needs smiles these days.

[SpookyDeeCat]

WOW. Thats the best thing I have ever seen! You should go to RISDY or any of the good art schools. I cannot believe how good your show is.

[jedaqia]

Phil, somebody should make TV show for you to host.

[redhotmaestro]

hey phil, i like the individual photos of the smilies better aswell, but they wouldnt make sense or have the same effect without the bigger picture first

[hellorodney]

i like your work,,,,rodney

[daphne0]

Amazing talent. This is the most creative project I've seen in a long time. Brilliant.

[JimmyB2033]

Unbelieveable!!!

[renatabranco]

amazing!

[mandartarded]

I love to get on youtube after a long day and see a new video by you. You make coming home so much nicer. Thank you. I can't wait for the next one!!

[cutebassist]

did you get people asking what you were doing? if i saw you around my town doing that i would ask you. well, actually, i would follow you around, because its you and i think you are gifted. i wouldn't be all stalker-ish. just curious as to what you were doing next. okay, i am stopping now. great job!

[groomdoggi]

I think you are the only guy I've see who gets away with that cupie-doll hair cut.

:o) I've been enjoying your projects!

[SanyaMae]

you are insane...and by insane i mean ridiculously talented

[goingforthegold]

revo. lution.

[jsmxwll]

Very cool

[blazinggate188]

man, i would love to see something like that where im at.

nice job

[limei634]

The final image was neat but I liked the individual shots of each piece in it's own location. You inspire me, I'm glad that I found out about you. :)

[1bugleboi1]

thats awesome, but dont you get introuble for that?

[mrclean905]

Thats really cool, how long does it normaly take you to come up with these ideas and plan them out?

[gcorp87]

I think this may be one of your most creative and fun ones yet.

[petro8888]

haha i saw a gameworks! i go to the one in seattle. and why did you move away! i saw some of your art here back in the day.

[vegabuk]

cool!

[cheesypasta]

well done 5/5

[WerewolfMorgue]

Haha, Minneapolis, awesome! Wish I was still visiting my dad there to go see 'em . . .

[hoganslegond]

someday you should.. mow an image into grass that would be pretty cool.

[Imsocool1004]

amazing

[rsc68]

Like the stlls @ the end!

[spleenbuster]

astounding as usual. very fun piece i think. keep it up.

[AllenGinsbergOM]

[helraizr]

Congrats on CNN!

[pete3boljanac]

[cheezit83]

another cool idea...nice job man.

[w00ts0rbet]

Must have took you ages to find random spots for them smileys! Amazing, you have done it again!!! More Goodbye Arts!!!! \(^o^)/

[LilMsDiva4u]

You are really awesome. I'm hoping one day you'll show us the entire process...I mean from the 1st sketch that you use to show you what pieces you'll need to create the entire piece. I'd also like to see reactions that people get from your art, because I know it has to touch others just as much as it touches my heart.

[vockytoria]

phil do you have it planned out on a piece of paper before u do this

because if yu cud remember all of those tiny portraits i applaud you for that.

[theusedrocks]

awesome work...:]

[titties2010]

it has to be very nice to walk around the city spotting your smiley faces...surely it will put a smile on a lot of persons. Great work even with the video, it came out really nice with the sound of you drawing on the sidewalk at the end...perfect final touch! Congratulations for the article!

[thedarkwolf25]

You never fail to impress me. I wish I had that kind of creativity.

[jacqueezy12]

wow cool that you did this in the cities i live in a suburb about twenty minutes from there...awesome work

[darksnowman56]

balla

[firegodess917]

oh wow!!!! thats awesome!!!

[stayhereinmyroom]

I love you stranger. I really do :]

[Npplboy]

Har dee har har!

Another great piece of work made by that guy! :o

[wordcutouts]

I didn't know you were from minneapolis! it's nice to see some familiar places :)

I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now & I thought I'd finally leave a comment. I enjoy your videos so much. All of the time & effort you put into your art is VERY appreciated!

[SpiffyMcSnazzy]

I liked the one random surprised face. As always, this shocked and amazed me. You almost made me think you were actually just going to draw simple smilie faces. Of course you couldn't just settle with simple, though. :)

[BassetLuv4Life]

Awesome work! If I saw one of your smiley faces it would brighten my day. =)

[timhun]

Awesome, Phil!!

[applesandmustard]

well it looks almost just like him!

on some of his store merchandise he has 'a john mayer kid face' and i swear

it looks just like him

but anywho

GOOD JOB

[ravenkikasPT]

Awesome work again man! Brilliant!

[Kairowyn]

You are so incredibly amazing and inspiring! I can't help but be inspired myself after watching your videos. I'm sure many others feel the same way. You are awesome....

[wblhockeyplayer]

[soraiyame]

haha that's so cool i love how all your art comes together as one big picture.

[marzlepord]

Phil ROX!man,every piece he does just blows me away....i wish i could do art lyke that

[gwaladr1]

dude I love you'r work but how do you plan some of those art projects

[hogarth2point0]

I wonder if anyone has seen any of those smileys and realized what they are from.

[kokohawk]

Another great work! When did you do this piece? I am almost tempted to go out and see one of these drawings for myself!

[onjoFilms]

Your lucky they didn't lock you up for some kind of terrorist act like in NY. :)

[KandiGrrl420]

well done

it takes great talent to put it all together in the end

[ArtificialCurrent]

AMAZING!

[highheadjester]

WOW!! ~HiGH HeaD JeSTeR~

[prancingponyofdoom]

[IndustrialismFilms]

[Oceani]

A true artist ! His imagination and vision when creating art are incredible.
