Real Estate Broker/Owner with New Paradigm Partners LLC EB #1326335

Welcome to another edition of the Grab Bag. Today, we have for your edification a bit of history, a brief gallery tour if you don't mind clicking on a few links, and some slim pickings from Weird Twitter, where it's becoming harder each day to find the funny people being funny.

Enjoy!

 

President's Day

 

Presidents Day

 

 

Gallery Walk

Here are links to the web galleries of a few artists who are doing some unusual things:

 

Simon Stålenhag - Very strange but compelling visions of a dystopian future.

Milos Rajkovic - Bizarre animations

Don Kenn - Monster drawings on sticky notes

Weird Twitter

the internet's slogan could be "if you wanna know something, just ask...yourself if it's really necessary".

@aparnapkin

 

History of art:

•things sorta looking like things
•things for God
•beautiful things
•ugly things
•things about looking like things
•anything

Everyone I know is too tough on themselves, so take a break today, remember how much you matter and be highly critical of others instead.

Dick, what a legacy to leave behind ... furniture sales and cherry pie.  Michael Jacobs has the cherry pie thing covered.

Wouldn't you like to meet some of these Weird Twitter people in person? Or maybe not.... or maybe they're all one person, just schizophrenic.

Food for thought.

Pretty interesting stuff here Dick.  The animated one is really cool.  And of course weird twitter is good for a rainy Sunday.

I laughed out loud at the Washington one, and found myself strangely attracted to the weird animation...could not stop looking at it, although I kept telling myself I didn't like it.

Dick the first one is very appropriate give that today is Presidents Day.  I think George would have also been happy to here that many companies give their employees a day off in honor of our Presidents.
