Reality Bender — Interview with Street Artist that Transforms Sidewalks into 3-D Wonderland

Regular readers here know I'm a big fan of street art. And when I find good stuff, I share it.

By applying a playful, twisted fine art mentality to celebrity photography (and his commercial work) Chris has created some of the most interesting work I've seen. He is truly one of my all-time favs. We talked about everything under the sun, including his... read more ›

Lake Titicaca. Mt. Fuji. You get it. I don't know if Paris is on that list, but it should be. There's a magic to that city, so much so that I lived there for a few years not all that long... read more ›
