This land is your trash. This land is my trash. To the New York island #art

I went to the Staten Island land fill, you know, the largest dump on earth. For 50ish years we New Yorkers sent all our refuse there. Some of mine is there too. They're in the process of reclaiming it at $1 million per acre! They've renamed it Freshkills Park. All the garbage is still degassing. They're able to sell the gas-off as energy to ConEd -- but certainly not enough to pay for all the acreage development. The irony is that one day people will be picnicing mere feet from strata made of black and white TVs, bed frames, and filing cabinets.

When you threw something away this is where away was. Now our junk is put onto a train and sent to South Carolina. The little yellow front end loader is for scale. These cyan hoes are giants!

My Addiction Gallery Tucson AZ @Art_o_mat #art

I own My Addiction Gallery in Tucson Arizona. Last week we installed our Art-o-mat. It has been very popular! Today I was thrilled to pull the knob and receive my pewter Saltine. What a tasty work of art!

Thanks for being a part of Art-o-mat! It is bringing a lot of happiness to my gallery customers!

All you need is Love...and Cracker

What's not to love about the Fab Four rocking out with a cracker? This collector from St. Louis knows that Sir Paul is not only listed in Guinness World Records as the "most successful musician and composer in popular music history", but he is obviously a HUGE cracker fan. Was the song originally going to be "Lucy in the Sky with Crackers"? Don't know, but we do know that the "The Beatlecracker Suite" must have been an ode to crackers à la Tchaikovsky (you might notice that Tchaikovsky was cute and had pretty long hair - making him a very early Beatle).

Beautiful ladies just walkin' down B'wy. #2 #art

Yesterday I posted 15 pix of Sidewalk Catwalk on Broadway. Here's a few more:

Manhattan is probably one of the biggest sculpture gardens in the world. For instance, there's Sidewalk Catwalk on Broadway.

I've been slimed! I'm in Reader's digest, too! #art

No doubt, kids love the slime machine.

I got mentioned in the August Reader's Digest if you happen to be going to the dentist or doctor sometime soon. I went to buy a copy today and they were already selling September.

Also, check out Kurt Mottweiler's blog. He had a blast with the new Art-O-Mat in Portland.

One last mention: The Warhol machine at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas

It used to be a Drug-Free zone. What happened? #art

Make it big. Make it RED. Use Comic Sans. Love this typography! Sugar Free slash Sugar Free? Hmmm. Under that, the letter-sized print-out says It's The Law / It's The Law. Must be a design convention I haven't heard about yet.
