Vintage...

Current...

Equally classic.

Big Ugly Yellow Couch - Oh Land

My dear pal Shanu, formally known as Shannon Wing, fired this my way today, and I cannot seem to stop hitting repeat. The video was shot on the Big Ugly Yellow Couch - the seat of many a magnificent performance and the brainchild of a writer named Carlye and a photographer/videographer named Donald.

The Ultimate Mouse Trap

My momma sent this to me the other day - quite possible the world's greatest life size version of my beloved childhood board game - Mouse Trap.

Cracking Art Group

First, I saw their work at 21c Museum Hotel with the Red Penguin installation. So, I looked into them a little more and found all kinds of exhibitions they've executed with sizable plastic animals juxtaposed in natural environments. The group of artists, called the Cracking Art Group, established the Cracking Art Movement in 1983. Their installations display the "relationship between natural life and artificial reality". My personal favorite - the golden turtles.
