Banksy's new pet shop

I will never eat another hot dog again. Maybe at least for another week.

Banksy is a popular graffiti artist known largely for his satirical street murals. Unfortunately, sometimes his anonymity garners more attention than the messages he tries to send through his art. 

This week he opened a "pet shop" in New York City, which is really an art gallery in disguise displaying bizarre, life-like, animatronic sculptures and installments. This is his first ever official art exhibition, after his identity was outed by the British media.

Rainbows are made from panda vomit

Not sure what Flickr has up its sleeve, but here's a nifty Easter Egg. If you happen to explore the panda category, you'll be greeted with a (happy?) panda with rainbow vomit and photographs spewing out of its mouth.

It's just so bizzare and awesome at the same time, you'll need to view it for yourself.

evolution

the missing link is a pair of wireframe glasses that are more oblong, but i don't know where they went. the progression totally makes sense though :þ

go speed racer

so i watched speed racer a few days ago, and i have to be completely honest and say that i enjoyed it. of course, i wasn't taking it seriously, and while i was watching it, there were two toddlers running around and screaming, so my attention wasn't focused on the plot or the cheesey acting. however, both of those things are justified when you're remaking an old cartoon. there's a difference between speed racer and the scooby-doo remakes, and that is that speed racer rules.

the impressive thing about the film was the hyper reality of it. cat in the hat on crack. mario kart + fast and the furious mash-up. i loved the color. simple as that. i really liked the wardrobe, the set design, it all fit.

bottom line: awesome, fun visuals. don't take it seriously. cheaters never prosper. rain is so hot.

(note on the poster above: that is the MOST STATIC composition ever, making it the worst ever solution for speed racer. DUMB. however, rain is hot.)

Have your coffee and be a photography nerd too.

How deliciously adorable.
