David Gallaugher's Parkwheel

This is a few years old, but remains one of the coolest art projects I've seen on the internets. David Gallaugher of Dalhousie University created this mobile statement about the need to have more greenspace in urban areas. I wouldn't mind moving around Boston in one of those things. It would detract from the ugliness of Cleveland Circle while I was on my way to the Boston Commons and the public gardens. Shout out to Halifax, yall!

Sorry for the Interlude: Here's some Psychedelic Doodles

Howdy internet acolytes! HC is back up and huffing and puffing again. Finally, now that I'm out from under the despotic thumb of my senior thesis, I can get back to what's really important: presenting all the flashy colors and whimsy I find to you, the narrowing few who follow this blog. It's been two months since we've last spoken. And I want to make it up to you. Which is why I'll be posting select tid-bits I found during the hiatus (for you see, especially in times of extreme stress, you can rely on the internet for quality procrastination).  First up, proof that time-wasting drawings can be seriously engrossing and not-at-all a waste of time.
