This is Paul Bond's Lao Tzu's Dream. (Do you know what Lao Tzu's name means? Old Teacher. ) Yeah, I'm a total STAN. Look at how he uses hyper-realism (the stones' texture) but utterly surreal elements...you know, the tree & such...knock the viewer a little off balance. Plus, it's a little mockery of the whole hipster cairn-building fad. He's good.

This is the Lego-Brücke (translated to Lego Bridge) in Wuppertal Germany. I mean it kind of in the name, plus playing with Lego bricks was like the coolest thing you could do back then. I don’t really like looking at painted art, but I really enjoy Art in the sense that it is a representation of culture. I think this Lego Bridge does that sort of thing since it mixes a nostalgic look to a rather bare object. There is a form of fabulation or intertextuality since it brings what is a tiny thing to us into a larger form which you can actually walk on. Its a little child’s dream come true.
