What is wrong with this pool?
Wait. They aren’t swimming. Is this this the twilight zone? Wait just one minute, I think I’ll have to beat the comments and call this fake!
We’ve all played with an Etch-a-Sketch . Like the yo-yo and the hula hoop it seems to be a staple in the American array of classic toys that have spanned the generations. And like Lego’s this little “toy” has become a popular form of “outsider” or “folk” art and apparently it’s own cottage industry.

Duct tape, or as it was originally nicknamed, duck tape, has been around since just before World War II. Invented by Permacell, a division of Johnson and Johnson as a way to keep moisture out of ammunition cases and came in an army green color. Being waterproof and manufactured with cotton duck inpsired the original ‘duck’ name (which became a Manco brand name – now Henkel Consumer Adhesives- for the ubiquitous adhesive in 1984).
While waiting for your train to arrive at Grand Central Station, the crowd is bustling and seemingly getting thicker every second. Then out of nowwhere hundreds of people stop dead in their tracks.

Some may accuse California of being overly concerned with appearances, but this art project commissioned by Culver City, CA is something to (not) see. The city selected Joshua Callaghan, an MFA student at UCLA, to integrate 9 utility boxes into the surrounding landscape.

I’ve been seeing his 3-D chalk work pop up on the internet for years now.
When I was a kid, I used to love drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalk. In San Diego’s, Little Italy they just had there 14th annual Little Italy Festa. Along with that is the Gesso Italiano (chalk event). I was fortunate this year to be able to check out both days of the event.

If the feel-goodery of my previous post, Reminded (again) of the beauty of life…Everybody’s Free was just too much for you to handle, this skewed, stilted, and cynical interpretation of the Baz Luhrmann song Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen by John Safran will have you laughing (and cringing).
