Adorable Side of Street Art


Street art is big, it’s all over, from satirical political spraypaint of Obama and Andre the Giant to installations of statues and bits of furniture in unlikely places. Some street art is small. It’s not often you come across the adorable, miniature side of street art, and it makes this project from Little People even more delightful. These Lilliputians would likely get stepped on if left on the streets of London for too long anyway, but I’d love to come across them in New York.

The good people at Little People are doing a charming job by minimizing the scale of street art and infusing their scenes with humor. The photos above are titled “Crappy Christmas.”

New Year’s Resolutions to Keep

My Resolutions:

  1. I will live it up (take long weekends to new places, socialize with new people, learn a new skill, etc)
  2. I will write more and with greater focus
  3. I will take care of myself, e.g. sleep, exercise, and eat
  4. I will stay far away from the bedlam of Times Square

People always make difficult or unpleasant resolutions and then lament not keeping them. Mine are lovely, pleasant resolutions. I can hardly help sticking to the third one, to some extent. What I resolve for myself in 2009 is to be fun, productive, healthy, and happy.

Sounds much better than losing 10 lbs. or being organized.
