BeDazzle the World

We all know about yarn bombing...what if this evolved? A combination of glitter bombing your favorite politician and vajazzling - taking it to the street.  Now we just need to find a battery operated glue gun.....

But I am off topic.

As an artist I sometimes get these urges, they amount to nothing more than daydreams really, to decorate the whole world out there.

This Etsy seller has gotten it started.

Sharing this from Buzzfeed:

Etsy merchant Cappysue has launched a service to make over unwanted gifts.

For twenty bucks, she'll accept anything that can fit in a medium Priority Mail box and remake it into something different.


Until a battery powered glue gun, and jewel holding tool belt are developed, I could get down with this. 

 Check out more Cappysue, while we wait.

Thursday didn't have a chance...

20120807-garbage-pail-kids-pizza-face

I had a lucid dream last night where local Food’lebrity Pizza Brain and Jamie Warren’s “Self Portrait as Lasagna Del Ray by thestrutny” had a baby, and it came out as Eat My Face!, well-known member of the Garbage Pail Kids Clan. 

It took place in an all-night dinner on a long forgotten road, not unlike those photographed for Alec Soth’s series “Sleeping by the Mississipppi”.

I was sitting in a corner booth drinking all-night coffee, next to a pay phone that rang rang, but every time I answered it was just Roger Rabbit laughing uncontrollably on the other side of the line.
Near the end, I garnered my ability to control the dreaming, then tiptoed around the baby-making and out the door.

I  was met with the blazing glory of a southwest sunrise breaking just over the horizon.

To say it mildly, upon actual waking, Thursday didn’t have a chance. 

For some amazing work, check out these artist's websites.
They will set your dreams on fire.
