Got this from a colleague at work. Amazing.

 

“Imagine, if you will, sitting down to your morning coffee, turning on your home computer to read the day’s newspaper?! …Well it’s not as farfetched as it may seem.”

Alex Pardee show at Upper Playground

I went to Upper Playground to see Alex Pardee's awesome art on the walls. His show is called "Letters from Digested Children."

From Upper Playground's Web site:
In “Letters From Digested Children,” Alex Pardee pays homage to the children who are eaten by
monsters. Alex states:

Each year, thousands of children turn up missing. Some are found. But most, unfortunately, are not. Many of the children are victims of abduction, some are runaways, and a large handful of them . . . have been EATEN by monsters. However, the digestive system of many monsters is abnormally slow, and a large portion of these children that have been eaten are still ALIVE, patiently waiting to be saved.
