This is one of my favourite recent street art photos - of a pasteup sticker I pasted last night. There's something about the composition, the background, the contrast of the gold TinCan with its stainless steel background - and the CAUTION tape dangling in the wind - I just like.
I know inane caution labels are pretty common these days, but this one doesn't even warn you that things are hot after putting them in the microwave, it makes the even simpler point that things are hot after heating them.
there may be rattlesnakes in this area. rattlesnakes are active at night during the summer. they will seek out shady places during the heat of the day. children should be warned not to go near any snake. reasonable watchfulness should be sufficient to avoid snakebite.
I made this 'mask' during my Summer Program at Cranbrook (CSAI) in 2013. Our task was to make masks, but instead of making it in the usual, conventional masquerade style, I tried something innovative. I used an old cardboard box and plastered it with wrapping paper and made the eyes out of papier-mâché and spray painted stripes with gold paint and finally attached the beads. The nose and the mouth were done using Sharpies and masking tape. For the side, I made some cardboard circles and spray painted them. As it was the Breast Cancer awareness month then, I decided to paint pink ribbons. I called this piece 'Caution!' not only because the top half is stuck with yellow caution tape but also because a mask could stand for something more than its obvious purpose - for example, it could be a way of escape and a way of spreading awareness for your chosen causes.
So I paid the guy with the caution tape on his head for a picture. He got all jiggered up and grabbed a watermelon from the market on the corner of 16th and Valencia. I started to take a picture before realizing the stereotype I was about to create. Then the guy drops the water melon cause he's spazzing. As I'm checking the damage and putting the watermelon back, the owner, on the right, came out yelling. I got a picture of him right as he was thinking he should punch us both.

Thanks Telephone music video. :-)
I have them walled up with wood rather than behind a door, because doors tend to let light in that prevents them from spawning. At least that is my claim. Also it is spookier.
The story here: I always used to hear scary zombie noises in this part of whatever corridor this is, and once day I poked around in the walls and discovered a dark abandoned digsite crawling with nasties. I boarded up the way in and put up this sign, but I keep it around in case I feel like some convenient battling with the Forces of Darkness.

And they don't mention smoking?
This collection of liquors comes from the estate of a friend's mother, who appears to have had a taste for old martini culture (not pictured are several bottles of vermouth). These are a few of the interesting ones.
At a workshop on composition, everybody shot the same thing. Exciting, no? This would be "Centering" if you hadn't guessed.
