So there was this famous, striking billboard in Toronto that sits outside a church on College Street. The church had let it stay in a lovely state of decay for years, but recently decided to black it all out! I don’t know if they plan to eventually put up something new, but I decided that we should help them along. I thought that the congregation might actually like it, but I’ve been told that it’s already down…

A shame, it was a real struggle to put up too…

Spiritualism!

A dapper snail mollusc takes a few moments to smoke a contemplative bowlful on the streets of Córdoba Spain.

David Pray’s short video about reverse graffiti artist Paul “Moose” Curtis’s San Francisco’s Broadway Tunnel project. Curtis creates his work using stencils and a pressure washer to create images in pollution, grime, and filth. The effect is stunning; making for a beautiful work of art while at the same time making a pointed statement about man’s impact on the environment.

BLU’s Muto: animation on a public wall. Beautiful surely, but I couldn’t help but think about all the artwork he covered up to make it (I know, it’s a public wall, it comes with the territory.) Thanks to Ry-Tron and everyone else who sent this in!

The Octo-Dog Frankfurter Converter. It turns your hot-dogs into octopuses. The Ectomo hive-mind cries out in ecstasy for such a device.

From the artist who brought you Elder Clean Soap comes Shoggoth Jasmine Tea. Thanks, Jezcabelle!

Don’t you fucking dare post knitting patterns for Dr. Who characters. So sayeth the BBC, though most likely it was worded in a far more politely threatening manner filled with words contain superfluous “u”s. Thanks, August Moon!

Alas, poor Yorick. Thanks, Tim McElwee!

Inky hard at work. Or is he? Alt+Tab Command+Tab, Inky, COMMAND+TAB! Thanks, Scott!

The city of Santa Ana wants to know if your child is a filthy tagger and they’re providing you with a number of telltale signs, complete with diagram, in order to help you figure it out. Signs that your child may be a paint splattered hooligan include frequently wearing baggy pants, carrying a backpack or being in possession of an inordinate number of “Hello My Name Is” stickers. More obvious signs are carrying around cans of spray paint, tagging things, or suspicious behavior such as leaving the house and saying, “Bye mom, I’m going over to Jimmy’s and we’re going to hook up with the rest of the crew and bomb the community center.”

Seriously though, parents need to be on the lookout for this sort of thing. No one wants their child to be a tagger. Those people never amount to anything.
