Found Art Friday 152

Dear ones,
Back in the 20th century, before drag and drop, or Face(crack) as our friend Aunt Madge calls it, you had to drive or fly for hours in order to see art like this: now it shows up in your "newsfeed". When the Homeland Inspiration inbox is dry, Art Ranger surfeth her friend photos where there is infinite supply - why? Because framing things just so is a byproduct that the creatives provide to the planet.  It's our photosynthesis.

Robin invented something amazing. Research and development can mean more than big pharma

Now this:

Joker on the Beach via Wick Alexander - The Greatest Painter in America

Actually the joker's name is Larry.  He washes windows for a living out of a pale blue van and has a hobby shaping surfboards in his garage. He uses the Century Plant which sprouts in people's yards like giant asparagus antennae every hundred years or so.  Larry likes to play dress up when he's not washing windows.  He shows up Sunday afternoon on the boardwalk costumed differently and noticeably.  He sells his custom surfboards for a lot of dollars and doesn't take off his get-up until he bags a sale.  No middleman except for his hot polyester self.  It's not every guy in the world who can make the ocean sing a tune with his pants.

and his drawing called: "long division" - someone in this world can still concentrate

Quite a way to illuminate "the border" which never gets less ridiculous no matter how you do the math.

WELL - do you see through any lenses? Because the Art Ranger would like to co-experience this before we depart the blogoverse for annual summer recess out on the range. Bless the beasts and the children right here:  FAF@homelandinspiration.org

Found art Friday 151

Dear ones,
After a week astray and at large, the Art Ranger's inbox was plush with imageriffs found amongst the world dross.  Today we are the lucky steward of random contributions from people who have never met each other.

found on a walk by Richard Anthony- intact and appears to be made out of poop - plus ventricles
" .......Shaking my head and bowing in reverence to that All Mighty Mother
pumping and pooping through us all, "

Also from this one with eye-to-the-ground of intricate experiences and visual words -  -

or both forwards and backwards thinking all at the same time with fresh red underlining.

 

This image received from Friend in the Bay Area who sees actively as she goes on walks and has collected series of urban art interventions.....

A winning combination of thoughts that need to interlock in order for world traffic to flow in the right direction. 

It synchs up with this one selected by friend of a poet friend:

by Kathleen Shipe:  Sperm (or balloon)

Has an interplanetary plasma feel to it as well.

Have yourselves a fine week-end with the memorialization holiday even though they want to sell you a new mattress or too big a jar of pickles.  Bless all you sunburned flags.  Please continue to send your visual happenings to FAF@homelandinspiration.org.
