Fil-Am Artist Spreading Hope With Art

Nakilala ko si Bren Bataclan noon Oktubre 2008 sa Honk Festival in Harvard Square.  Nagiiwan siya ng mga libreng painting sa ibat-ibang parte ng US of A at mundo.  May kasamang note na - "This painting is yours if you promise to smile at random people more often."   Ngayon dahil sa recession dito sa land of milk, honey and foreclosure eh ganito na po ang kasamang note ng mga painting niya - "Everything Will Be All Right…This painting is yours to take for free."  Napakalaking morale booster kung ikaw  ay nawala ng trabaho in these hard economic times.  Mabuhay ka Bren!

From Alaska to Las Vegas to NYC, artist Bren Bataclan leaves his paintings in unexpected places. Bataclan's hope is to turn the economy around, with his paintings.  CBS Michelle Miller reports.
