My workmate alerted me to this article about an incredible piece of kinetic sculpture, a model of San Francisco constructed entirely of tooth picks. The artist’s name is Scott Weaver. The piece is entitled Rolling through the Bay. Weaver playfully narrates this short video which illustrates the sculpture in action.
It’s things like these that give me hope and fill me with optimism and wonder about humanity.

Following the Twitter tracks today from Another Bouncing Ball to This Is Tomorrow (two blogs with solid content both written and visual–both now blogrolled on the right), I found this arresting shot. The violence of the imagery and the lurid color of the photo caught me…what could it mean?
Reading the words painted on the sign to the right of the ape, I thought perhaps it meant destroy those hungry for death and people like Glenn Beck and W (and other neo-conservative hawks) flashed through my mind…
Destroy all monsters hungry for death
Neat article by Grace Smith on the history and trends of collage with lots of cool samples today in Smashing Magazine.
