New York City’s streets were drained of color on a recent cold and overcast March day. Their pallor—and that of the cars, trucks, and people occupying them—mimicked that depicted by Childe Hassam in his Winter in Union Square, an oil painting on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In my area, we have lots of train tracks so it’s not uncommon at all to have to sit and wait for a train to cross in front of you. I normally sit there wondering why people go out of their way to tag the boxcars with graffiti. Typically, the art is nothing more than a mess in my eyes.
Conversely, some geeks have captured a boxcar making the rounds that has been painted to look like an old school Nintendo controller. It’s a very good rendition too. Apparently, the person who made the graffiti is TEXER ALB.
I wish more of these ugly boxcars would get a cool coat of paint like this one. If you remember Nintendo controllers from back in the day, you may be wondering why the boxcar has three buttons rather than two like the real controller has. Those buttons are labeled A, L, B for the artist.

This isn’t your father’s Oldsmobile. It is Bronie Hayden Sailer’s, who is a serious fan of Princess Luna from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It takes a serious Pony fan to ride around in this classic Olds decorated with a custom hood ornament that looks like the little Pony.
Friendship is magic and it is also all up in his grille. His car grille that is. Hayden made this cool hood ornament with a 3D printer using a design that he found on Shapeways. After that he covered it with chrome paint and had himself a unique car accessory.
Now he ponies around his nay-borhood looking like a pimp.

This gorgeous custom motorbike began its life as an utterly mundane Honda P25, a fuel-efficient 1960s scooter. But motorcycle artisan Chicara Nagata turned it into a sweeping sculpture with a social-commentary twist: the tiny bike carries four infrared security cameras in its frame, built at the behest of a Japanese security company.

There’s a kind of crazy headspace that’s easy to fall into after staring at the unceasing scroll of your social media biz on a couple of screens at a time. But this? This is a wholly terrifying total immersion in the form of an installation of sights, sounds, and mind-melting mental stimulation.

Shadows. They’re ghoulish entities that come and goes with the whims of the sun. But shadow puppets are what happens when Man harnesses the sun, or artificial light, and creates life of his own.
