birds this way
Birds, by Rigo, Canon Digital Rebel
One of my favorite San Francisco artists named Rigo did this piece. He also did the most excellent public art piece in 1995 called One Tree. You can view it here:here. This one lonely tree is situated in a fairly industrial part of town, warehouses and freeway entrances abound. I love coming across it when I drive in that part of the city.

Spent way too much time entertaining myself on the Dead celebrity Soul Mate Search site! Apparently, in another era, I would have been destined for James Baldwin.
....
Obsessed with a radio show called New Dimensions and the soundtrack to
Garden State.
Very cool work! Thank you for posting it -- I never would have known about it otherwise!
Posted by: Witzy at April 12, 2005 04:55 PMMy co-worker and I are also obsessed with the Garden State cd. It is our favorite "at work and got the blahs" pick me up. We listen to it almost daily.

Posted by: brian at April 12, 2005 07:35 AMI also got those three choices! I suppose that's why we're all posting on the same website, right? Same passions & ideals.

Posted by: Anderson at April 11, 2005 08:27 PMI like them both
I have not seen "birdes", but one tree is always a joy
Here's one more for James Baldwin and Mr. Poe!
Funny isn't it, how one may never notice the beauty of a single tree or of a bird flying until someone slaps an arrow in front of their face and says "LOOK!!! IT'S A TREE!"
As the snow has melted and spring is approaching I once again find myself by the rivers letting the wind be my arrow. And I hope that in my daily life I might once in a while be an arrow for other people.
Garden State soundtrack is fab. The Shins are amazing. And, you should check out (if you haven't already) the original version of "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service. A COMPLETELY different sounding song than Iron and Wine's version.

Posted by: kate at April 11, 2005 12:47 PMHello, I'm new! Not even sure how I ended up here, but what a wonderful site.
I had three [perplexing] soulmates: James Baldwin (love his writing, but he was gay?!), Edgar Allen Poe (I have no explanation for this), and Vincent Van Gogh. This explains why the historical drama which defines my love life! :-)
The whimsical urban art should be a staple everywhere. Things that make us stop during the chaotic day to look at the sky.
Posted by: Pamela at April 11, 2005 12:35 PMYeah! This is my favorite kind of art---the kind that's out there, for everyone...no price tags, no frames...just beautiful, whimsical and just because.
