The StreetArtLocator (v2) helps you locate street art near you. (Considering the name, the obviousness of that statement is not lost on me…)
With specific tags for graffiti, galleries, paintings, stickers, stencils, sculptures, and installations, it’s a Google Map powered guide to the beautiful art that’s all around you for controversially public consumption.
Just click on your area to see both a location and a picture of the street art that has been spotted and documented. Then, if you’re out and about and come across something that you’d like to share, just snap a pic and add it to the database to help those around you enjoy your find as well.
A desire path is the improvised path that forms when people walk across a certain area of grass over and over again because it makes their path shorter. Eventually, the grass wears away and dies, and a path is formed.

Keith Allen Phillips likes to be called Lucky. Lucky Bastard to be exact.
For the past six years, Lucky has been working for a company that makes custom fetish videos. Since fetishes are often the sillier side of sexuality, it’s no surprise that Lucky’s collection of behind the scenes photos are often a little weird.
Bloody Barbies?
Check.
Toes crushing Hot Wheels?
Check.
Playing with a Venus Flytrap?
Sure, why not?
Basically, if you can think of it, someone else can get off on it, and Lucky and shoot it.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a way for the company to show you what you could look like if you had a million dollar body, a personal lingerie stylist…and wings.
While it’s really just a way for the company to get some relatively cheap publicity, it’s also a chance to see some of the most beautiful women in the world in their undies, so I’ll gladly give them a little link love as a way of saying thanks.

A sketchbook is like a sneak peak into an artist’s soul. Filled with whatever comes to mind, they can take days to complete, and contain some of the rawest and rarest pieces of an artist’s career.
Buy My Sketchbook wants to sell you a piece of that action to raise money for the Art Buy The Inch art gallery, and is auctioning off various sketchbooks to do so.
To enter, just browse through the various pages, and if you like what you see, place a bid. The highest bid after a book is completed wins, and you’ll be the proud new owner of something that usually doesn’t get sold until after death.
The artist behind this project must have taken his Pepsi Challenge loss to heart, because he’s got a serious grudge going against Coca Cola. From the description:
The routine destruction we do to our bodies, mitigated through corporate mass media, is comically expressed through a robot named C3 (parodying Coca Cola’s new low-carb product C2).
The robot is programmed to find puddles of Coke placed on the gallery floor, and then:
When C3 finds a puddle of coke, it sucks the beverage up through an electrical pump, and then sprays it across itself. The acidic nature of the coke eventually eats through the robot’s skin, finding its way to the circuitry, causing it to break down. The robot is designed to find and consume until it kills itself.
Think that was bad? How about this:
Companies such as Coca Cola deploy marketing strategies that completely infuse our culture with a sense of well being and elevated self worth that contradicts the actual benefits of the consumable product.
