One owl, three versions...when I first saw this, I though whatevs, but the best bit is the '3rd version'. This owl naturally puffs itself up when pitted against other owls of the same size, but watch what happens when the owl is face to face with a bird twice its height...sheer brilliance. MotherNature at its best!
Happy Halloween!!
To celebrate Halloween this year, we went and found some of the best pumpkin carvings out there.

Happy Halloween TIME: Clocks by Salvador Dali
These are two works by Salvador Dali, a painter I admire for the techniques he masters, that talks about time.
Time is never enough and one of the reasons for stress.
That is why I did chose time as a theme for this Halloween.
Happy Halloween! The next one is just around the corner and it seems it was yesterday I wrote this post, and this one about last year's Halloween.
Paris Hilton love and hate list
I was concerned that Paris Hilton has never appeared in this blog and, let's face it, a blog that doesn't have a post about this woman is not worth reading.
So here she is! She love presents, pink, chocolate, animals... and puppies and bought many along the years! You can see the beautiful Gucci or Louis Vuitton(?) bag she bought to incarcerate the dog she just bought.
Buying is the verb of this woman an activity she loves and practice very often.
You can notice that all she listed are things and stuffs that are consumable. Friends? Yes, they are supposed to be priceless but some people say that everybody has a price and she said "I love animals better than people." And she like to meet her friends to gossip.
I wonder what happens at a meeting when one of the friends is not there.
She is very sensitive! As you can see she has a great fake crying.
I loved that!
Happy Halloween!
Philadelphia
Great movie and this song by Neil Young touches my soul in a way that I don't have words to express what I feel. The piano is amazing!
Have a great weekend.
Update November, 13
Ken left a comment and reminded that yesterday was Neil Young Birthday.
Happy Birthday Neil Young!
Reminder: The music is not "The streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen.

'Bad Reception'
By Will Barras
29.10.10 - 14.11.10
“When I used to phone up Duncan (Mr Jago) he would have to go and stand on a chair in his kitchen to get reception, so I painted 'Bad Reception', the first painting I made for this body of work and the title of the show. You can see a character standing on the ledge outside his flat on the 25th floor. Does he have to stand on the ledge to get phone reception, has he just been given terrible news and he is about to jump, is he spying on the penthouse opposite, or does he just like standing on the ledge?”
Bad Reception will show case never before exhibited works, painted over the course of the past two years, by Will Barras. Featuring stunning paintings in acrylic, spraypaint, oil and ink on canvas and linen as well as a brand new limited edition hand pulled screen print by the artist.

Kris Kuksi Again
Kris Kuksi is still, hands down, one of my favourite contemporary artists. I think even HR Giger would be damn impressed to see Kuksi's dark sculptures. I've only seen one of them in the flesh (and that was a pretty small one!) and was happy, so I can't wait for him to do a proper show in the UK sometime....
Circular Bike
This circular bike project was developed by Robert Wechsler. He salvaged and reassembled nine bikes into a carousel formation. With everything setup, he generally leaves the bikes in a public places to allow people to ride them.
