Poetry Through-out a City.

This is super cool, people use billboards to display their poetry instead of advertisements.

A personal favorite:
Whenever you see
the sun reflected
in the window
of a building
it is an angel

Inspiration and Old Skateboards

I found this website a little while ago, thanks to my pal Stumble Upon. Thought you guys may be interested in Mr. Haroshi's work. He uses old and broken Skateboards to make sculptures. Here's the link:

A Couple Cool Things.

1)I want to live in this paintings, especially the one with the caterpillar bridge, the one with the flowers at the table, and the one with the butterfly with coin wings, and the one with trumpets as elephant heads, and the one with butterflies as ship sails (this one reminds me of Voyage of the Basset by James C. Christensen.): http://designerscouch.org/view-log/the-surreal-paintings-of-vladimir-kush-687 ">">guys



2)Kay, this one is totally different but also surrealist. Actually these are by ">Salvador Dali



3)This one is mostly just funny, but it would be:

Giant Prehistoric Alian/Predator Masks!



I think I may love going to Natural History Museums more then I like going to Art Museums. Some of my most cherished memories are of sitting and sketching animals and people and other oddities at the different Natural Hist. Museums I have visited during my life. They are very inspiring places for me.

I went to the new Utah Museum of Natural History on Saturday and was very impressed by the thoughtful and aesthetic way the Paleo exhibit was set up. Giant black and white murals by Doug Henderson and this family tree display of Triceratops skulls illustrating their evolution. What a menacing and mean looking display! They reminded me props form a si/fi movie.

Tell your parents to take you its inspiring

She is brilliant. (how did she keep a straight face?)

"the woman who once spent 736 hours and 30 minutes sitting immobile in the atrium of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, staring at strangers until many wept or fled." (from the New York Times Article) what if we did this? like at a library, or a park?

Oops
