As usual, Specter's doing amazing things. He's in London for a great looking show at Pure Evil Gallery (
details here) which focuses on fabrics to represent people that have influenced him. See his previous exploration of fabrics in
the 'From Russia With Love' series.

Zaragoza is Roa's latest stop, and his work keeps getting better. I particularly like the subtle use of the walls, like the rope on the rabbit 'tied' to the cables and the billboard acting as an xray into the squirrel.

Fauxreel's latest intervention:
"the idea is based on two different trains of thought...
selling something to people that they don't need...
when i researched this, i discovered that one of the most over reaching markets in this sense was for products created for babies, actually products created for parents who think they need to keep up with the jones'...
the other thing i noticed through doing this research was that people, especially in canada, are having children later in life...
buying a plastic baby might help those who don't have one of their own yet to feel like they belong...
which is what advertising is all about...
selling you something you don't need so you'll feel like you belong...
so why not sell the whole baby to the folks not ready for one... completely ridiculous, perhaps slightly offensive, absolutely fun. "
