Fine Art




Two pieces of fine art for your viewing pleasure this evening (er, morning).
First, this fake MTA Service Changes poster. Service cuts are coming, and no one's happy. (I could vent for days, but that's another topic for another blog)

Then, a crayon drawing of yours truly by Camilla, a new Trinity Grace friend. She majored in Fine Art at Fashion Institute of Technology. It shows, eh?

Ronald McDonald Is NOT Happy

The Tank put on a "St. Purim" party on Friday night - Purim is a Jewish day, celebrating the deliverance of the Jews (read the Book of Esther for the story), and let's just say that they celebrate it similarly to St. Patrick's Day.
That said, I worked part of it, and found this Alice in Wonderland ticket stub in the Jerry's Kids contribution jar at the McDonald's around the corner.

Spring Preview


Day 2 of the spring preview. I was passing through Washington Square Park on a Sunday afternoon stroll, and couldn't resist taking this shot.

You Can't Take It With You


I was wandering through Soho and Tribeca yesterday, enjoying the preview of spring, when I stumbled across an art gallery and wandered in. Just what God intended random Saturday afternoons to be all about.
Hard to tell here, but this is the chassis from a Cadillac funeral hearse. If you look closely, the gearshift's about 45 degrees from where it should be.

Still Life in a Public Restroom


Between shows at The Tank, I came across this lovely pair of random items in the mens' room. Thanks to the zoom feature on my cameraphone, I didn't have to put my hands anywhere near that jar of hygienic hemorrhoid cleansing pads.

When the Obvious Happens


In case I'd forgotten that I'd plugged my headphones in, my computer was - and is - more than ready to remind me.
Did you see the AC Transit bus fight? Who hasn't?
