Wednesday art outing

Not Friday, but feels a bit that way for some reason (perhaps lunching under a tree helped), so here are some arty and interesting bits I've collected recently, to share some diversion.

1. Maurice Sendak is working on a pop-up book of classic movie monsters. What a great collaboration...

2. Here's a remarkable gallery of original origami -- each photo on the first page links to a whole collection on some theme. Fabulous.

3. Cityscapes cast in jello. I don't know why either. But they're otherworldly.

4. Wonderful found art that is simply discarded things -- alone for their beauty (a rusty pully) or in collections for combined effect (e.g., 1950s toy ray guns).

5. And finally, a guide to the artwork in the New York subway system, including snapshots and locations.

Update: you gotta check out this artist, who seems to be working somewhere in the zone between M.C. Escher and Rene Magritte...
