Dear All,
I wanted to share some more about the work that was done last weekend as a follow-up to my previous post on the matter. Even if it was not the warmest few days of the year, Veniceball made it happen!
Painted a parking lot and turned it into a half court. Gathered the local and global community again at the beach for two amazing days! My selection of best pics is here, but make sure to check out the time lapse video as well as the full press release.

Please follow-me and I will do the same.
With love,

@loitap , thank you so much for your UV! I appreciate it. I checked out your blog, and your pictures and videos are inspirational. It really made me think how, nowadays, people have forgotten how to actually live their lives to the fullest. Instead, everybody is always so consumed in work, a perfect future, and ways to be the best of the best, etc. We get so caught up in this that we forget how to truly live our lives in the moment. You are showing a lot of people, including me, how to open your eyes and really enjoy life. Thank you for that.
you make good points, we are definitely trying to inspire.
what really matters to enjoy life is to find balance and a purpose. i do spend a lot of time working (not just on vbl), and trust me the pictures and videos are the product of sweat and tears.
wow, this is very cool @liotap, you do have a very beautiful life. You are very lucky to be born in a country that has such beauty. You can enjoy the weekend with happiness along with your friends. I can see how happy the people are there. I have never felt such a happiness. You can create a happiness while you do the work, I really salute you. I can only hope to feel happiness like you. The basketball court is also very beautiful. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a beautiful day will always accompany you ... :)
Best wishes for Veniceball.
yes we are very fortunate. bringing happiness is the whole point of the #buildcourtsnotwalls campaign. as the effort raises more funds, the team will travel and do it in more places. We did a few courts internationally as you may have seen on previous posts e.g. Belize, Mexico, Philippines... we wanna do more. Veniceball is looking for a brand to do this on a massive scale.
It's so cool @liotap, you did a great job with your team. If only I lived in your country, surely I will follow this job, must be very exciting and can help each other. Hopefully all your dreams and hopes will be achieved with your team.
This is awesome @liotap. Another basketball court for the kids. VBL is doing a great service. Thanks.
you need to come down to the courts during the summer. quite a spectral!
Well done @veniceball. This is a great outreach. Looking forward to catching some BVL games this summer. Thank @liotap for the post.
Great work guys!
Incredible photos! Thanks for sharing!
A very beautiful job, I salute the same who painted the basketball court and the parking lot. He has a very good Art Soul, so the result of his painting looks very cool. It's very happy people can enjoy the weekend with great entertainment. I will watch your video, to be able to see the happiness you share this. Thanks for sharing, and hopefully we can continue to share and help each other to be successful in steemit.
Thanks! The collaboration was full scale, from the design to the execution. Everyone chipped in to do the work!
It's not an easy task, come up with the design, figure out the exact paint, go get it, and ... paint!
Yes, that's true as you say. But if we do not have an artistic soul, surely the result will not be that good. I certainly can not do all that. Because I do not have an artistic soul. When I was in school I got a big 0 for art. Very sad. But I like the work you do, it's really cool.
Art can only be created by people who have an artistic soul,
Paintings will produce meaning when created and viewed by people who are artistic ..
The perfect photo with the right shot ..
yes art can come in many different shapes, from museums, archives to regular streets. Isn't just a medium of expression?
You have a very wonderful life I feel jealous of you Haha. I really like the work I do @liotap . I also love the art of photography I have some publications you can visit my account if you wish ♡♡♡

HOLA AMIGO EXCELENTE POST, ME GUSTO
gracias! good to hear we are getting international here.
That’s an amazing idea to turn parking lot into basketball court with paint addition. I love it. I hope these guys didn’t get in trouble. Anyway I really love Street basketball. With some fan support it’s insane and so much fun.
That's a great one! Using trampolines is fun and a different discipline.
Nice pictures and video clip. These guys are really good. I like the simple way they painted the concrete floor of the court.
Very well done @liotap i'm sure it will be used by many people for years to come...Resteemed
