Public art installation on a storefront window in Carroll Gardens. It’s a question every New Yorker wonders – how much is my neighbor paying for their apartment? "I’ve Lived" was an interactive installation that helped demystify the topic by inviting local residents and other passers-by to share information about their living situation. Inspired by Illegal Art's "To Do" installation, this participatory project covered a storefront window with Post-it notes stamped with specific fill-in-the-blank forms. Passers-by could fill in a note with their own apartment information and balk at the high and low numbers paid by others. By the end of the week, the window will transformed into a useful collection of personal notes created by and relevant to the community, while serving as a reflection of changing real estate values.
"I've Lived" was created by Candy Chang and was part of the Windows Brooklyn exhibit that paired artists with storefront windows in Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens June 14-22, 2008.

I am not a fan of the Trendy Bread. When I first moved to Seattle in 1990, I was accustomed to East Coast restaurant bread options like rye, pumpernickel and raisin along with the usual white and wheat. In Seattle, the more limited choices always involved sourdough. Which was fine the first few times, but I quickly got sick of this insidious “you have to love me” bread. Eventually Seattle got a little more exciting with bread choices and you weren’t forced to choose, essentially, between Wonder Bread and Nasty Tangy Hipster Bread
Now I’m in Calgary, and it’s like the clock has rolled back. There’s a neighborhood bakery that makes all sorts of intriguing looking breads…all of them sourdough. When you ask for something not sourdough, the butt-hurt is palpable. “But have you TRIED our sourdough?” they ask, as if somehow their special take on trendy hipster bread is going to make it taste good.
Still, they do get crazy on Fridays and make a really good rye. That’s rye enough to drown out the sourdough. Because of course, it is *sourdough* rye. You can’t escape.
As reported by National Geographic, an extinct gastric-brooding frog may well come back to say hello.
"In this novel form of parental care, the female swallowed her fertilized eggs. Her stomach then stopped producing acid, becoming a makeshift womb. Later, she regurgitated fully formed froglets"

I drew this today while I waited for a tire repair at my local NTB. Apparently my passenger's side rear tire had a small puncture that needed repair. Hope you like it.
