Very interesting idea - and I like the sculpture I see. I wish I could see more that have come back.
I thought I saw a strap-on cephalopod on the nearest NS beach a day or two ago.
Give it a sniff.
GO ON I SAID SNIFF IT

SNIFF THE CEPHALAPENIS
Oh- the cat's eaten it.
hee hee!
The beaches are the new skies. Watch them.
This is very cool. I wish I lived someplace close enough to check it out for myself. Hopefully one lucky monkey will find a piece.
"very cool"? Maybe. I suppose it's like watching timecapsules being opened. I'd be more interested in the personal stories about the finders - what they thought and what they did with the pieces when they found them - maybe that will come out I guess.
Reminds me of the photos in bags that were showing up, where, in an Oregon lake? Somewhere out there. They were neat.
Oh, I love this idea. Although if I did stumble across something like this, I think I would be hesitant to take it if I didn't know the back story.
Especially if it smelled funny.
There was a street artist in NYC that lurked around my neighborhood for a good year. Almost by clockwork, every Sunday afternoon there would be a fantastic new piece they would spray on a nearby wall [obviously they had spent some time making these amazing stencils, then would spray paint them around the neighborhood].
Perhaps as a farwell of sorts(?) - for a stretch of three weeks last year - this person changed their medium; instead of spraying the normal black paint stenciled onto walls, they did wonderful multi-layered and multi-colored works on framed canvases. The pieces were then hung at random times/days on this wall. It was odd to see this beautiful piece of artwork hung so nicely in the middle of the city! The first time saw one, I was awestruck. Not sure what to do, I paced back and forth several times before deciding to pluck the piece and scurry back home with the goods. Once I had it home, I discovered that the back of the piece was signed and numbered. I managed to capture one additional piece [a rather large one].
One friend questioned the intent of the artist - - "do they really intend for someone to snatch these pieces?" His question was answered one day when the words it's for you were stenciled nicely below the nail where several pieces had been hung. How cool! I never spotted the mysterious artist... and was a bit disappointed when the action came to an end. My friend suggested that perhaps the artist was also secretly documenting people snatching the works.
Aaah, the spray paint did smell a bit on the cephalopodic side now that I think of it...
I managed to document/photograph all of the sprayed pieces I was able to find one afternoon
Wow, sugarmilktea - any chance you could post some of the photographs?
I guess this is the appropriate thread to confess that I actually collect art featuring cephalopods. Here is part of my collection. (self-link)
I should be able to post some to my blog later this evening Plegmund. Wow kimdog, you've come out of the cephalopod closet. What's with all the cephalopod-ness? My nose hurts!
What an amazing idea. Some people are just breathtakingly cool.
sugarmilktea -- You obviously are either being surveiled via a bug in the artwork or are being exposed to a unique chemical which you will later be tested for.
Free art is the new implant chip. You are so naive.
smt: interesting, me likes
kimdog: amazing, you really CAN find every kind of perversion collection on the net
(insanely cute baby!)
Thanks bees and BlueHorse. Glad it was found to be of interest...
bernockle, I will see you next week when I swing through NC...
jb, I can't go anywhere without attracting attention when I'm out and about with my son! It's getting crazy. Of course I find him to be insanely cute, but I'm his parent!
Great pictures, smt - and what jb said!
We should have a Monkeyfilter baby show some time - one for the wiki, maybe.
Weird, she's based out of my home town. I should get the relatives out there, lookin'.
