I forgot to add this one into the last post. So here it is. I couldn't find the video. It's from a Hook-ups a few years ago, called Destroying America. I think you were able to pick it up at Best Buy and it also featured Tony Hawk and many others including pro skater, Jeremy Klein and at the time, martial artist and student, Ming Tran. Check out the funny video part below.

Walking around downtown Chicago, I couldn't help but notice this theater. I'm not offended or anything like that, if anything, I'm a bit nostalgic since I know this was created in an era when Oriental was a word, when Oriental could have been a rug, and if you look at the top of the sign, it looks like a genie's hat or a Taj Mahal.

Walking around downtown Chicago, I couldn’t help but notice this theater. I’m not offended or anything like that, if anything, I’m a bit nostalgic since I know this was created in an era when Oriental was a word, when Oriental could have been a rug, and if you look at the top of the sign, it looks like a genie’s hat or a Taj Mahal.

I’ve blogged it once before. But this one had some additional lines added in implying, put finger in butt, and you get bacon. It makes strange sense, but it’s creative. This was in NYC. I’ve seen this before, but it’s funny to see a tag added to the “street art”. I guess I like street art when it’s neat like this. Remember Ming Tran? Vegan Supreme Marshmallows? The song by Gob, Hookups ads, or the video below? She’s in NY and might be piloting a plane you travel in. Yes, she flies now.

Inspection time. This is a preview shot of the new poster for Shipping News. The artwork is always by Jay if he's printing it, and it features a multicolored, geometric abstraction image that's more fine art than ever. He's using gradients and they come out perfect with a nice transition of color. Jay's an amazing artist from Chicago and it was great to see his studio. 
Jay is sort of an eco dude....
