Well hello again. It's Friday!
(Can you believe it?)
» L.A. Weekly: Then And Now
"Images from the same spot as the L.A. riots, 20 years later."

» Nomerz: Living Wall
These are all done by Russian street artist Nikita Nomerz. Kind of funny.

Sent in by Kyrsten G.
» True Adventures in Better Homes
"Men’s adventure magazines of the 1950’s and early 1960’s are shocking, funny, ambiguously rich artifacts of popular culture. Seeing them as narratives from the collective psyche, in this portfolio I consider how they would speak in an environment of orderly homes with sunny patios depicted in women’s magazines of the same era."
Flat-out ridiculous.

» McCarty Photo Works
"Brian McCarty is a Memphis-born toy photographer and director/producer. Working with toys for over 15 years, McCarty’s unique and innovative vision has attracted a huge international following. His postmodern integration of concept and character has earned McCarty’s photography a prominent position in the so-called 'Art-Toy' movement."
Beautiful. And odd.

"Have you ever been to a thrift store (think Goodwill or Salvation Army) and noticed that they usually carry a small selection of landscape paintings? Artists Chris McMahon and Thryza Segal decided to inject a little fun into these discarded works and give them a second life by adding monsters to the scenic landscapes."
Funny!
» Cai Guo-Qiang: Mystery Circle
"On Saturday April 7, 2012, artist Cai Guo-Qiang marked the opening of his exhibition with Mystery Circle: Explosion Event for The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; a site-specific work created for MOCA."
Insane.
