PENNYSMASH is a brand new Souvenir Shop project that hijacks the familiar souvenir penny press to produce truly affordable works of art.  Visitors to the Gladstone Hotel in Downtown Toronto can purchase original works by Douglas Coupland, Marian Bantjes (above), Burton Kramer and Paul Butler.  Partial proceeds from every sale will go to Sketch: Toronto’s art studio for street youth.

this morning on my way to work i noticed a short little man smoking a cigarette and chugging on a super big gulp...  it's so good to know that people are still going for the SUPER big gulp, not just the regular big gulp!  i couldn't help but think of summertime back in the day when we laid on the beach consuming nothing but sugar...    and for a moment i thought maybe this guys was embracing the freakishly nice summer weather here today.  but wait, at 9am?  the sun hasn't even kissed the sidewalks of downtown.   i think it was just another regular day for him...

happy friday
