Chalked



- Submitted by Jonathan, who writes: "I saw this along the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade last week, amid a whole bunch of other chalk drawings on the sidewalks. Not sure if someone intentionally misspelled chalk as "chaulk," but I thought it pretty humorous - hope you do, too."

Naked Marionette



Lee writes:

Tuesday morning, my wife called me at home and said that I needed to take photos of a life-size puppet hanging in the trees above a bus stop near our apartment.

It looked a bit creepy hanging there amongst the trees, but the dedication that went into it is amazing. (the word on her chest says "shine") By Tuesday afternoon it had fallen down and by Wednesday afternoon it was gone. I hope the artist took it. It would be interesting to know who the artist was.

now THIS is art!



- Submitted by Josh, who writes: "This just randomly showed up on NE 20th and Davis, by a big parking lot. The funny thing is, there are a group of middle schoolers who have a bus stop right next to this new installation.

This also, by the way, is where the boot with the banana peel in it was. Go inner NE for weirdness!"

Art!



Taken at NE 20th and Davis.

Submitted by Josh

p.s. I should mention that this particular newspaper box always has some assortment of shoes sitting on top of it. Sometimes two boots, sometimes a boot and a shoe, sometimes just some insoles ... but now it has been topped with the banana peel.
