Interesting Ideas Update

New York City, 1981, from Coney Island to Harlem. An early interest in signage revealed.

I had to share these two examples of stainless steel sculpture that came to me via some spam mail (“I just browsed your website and find some items are similar to our products.”) I wish I had these kinds of items on my site. Thank you Alisa Chen at Wanfeng (Xiamen) Stone Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. (http://www.sculpturespaces.com/english/home.asp).

Although the glory days of fairground art passed with the last of the true sideshows, county fairs and carnivals still offer bits of visual interest even if most of the imagery is blandly commercial. These are from the Lake and Kane County Fairs in Illinois, the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee and the Rosholt Fair in Wisconsin. Plus, a bonus image from the gloriously named Temple of Food in Amstersdam.

Some views from the very pleasant art environment.
