Booty Wagon - by Brandon Ortwein
Sitting in traffic one day I was stuck behind a beaten up old van. It had one of its windows busted out and the black plastic patch job made me think of it like an eye patch on an old pirate.
Submitted to the Threadless + Wittlebee contest.
I drew you a kids coloring pages mug of coffee
I have been doing a lot of hand drawn coloring pages for my daughter lately. She likes it when I draw her a picture in black outlines and then she gets to color it in. I call it “Daddy Coloring Pages”. I hope you like this kids coloring pages inspired mug.
This is part of my “The Daily Coffee” marker drawing series.

Marina Abramovic meets Ulay
“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”
“En los años 70, Marina Abramovic mantuvo una intensa historia de amor con Ulay. Pasaron 5 años viviendo en una furgoneta realizando toda clase de performances. En 1988, cuando su relación ya no daba para más, decidieron recorrer la Gran Muralla China, empezando cada uno de un lado, para encontrarse en el medio, abrazarse y no volver a verse nunca más. En 2010 el MoMa de Nueva York dedicó una retrospectiva a su obra. Dentro de la misma, Marina compartía un minuto en silencio con cada extraño que se sentaba frente a ella. Ulay llegó sin que ella lo supiera, y esto fue lo que pasó”
This is so beautiful and sad all at the same time. Her smile is amazing and then her tears are incredibly powerful. Wow.
