Skelewag Love

As soon as I saw a little thumbnail of a Skelewag image on NotCot.org, I knew something delightful was lying just a click away. And boy was I right! I love love love these little bits of street art by an artist known only as "Chewie". He (I'm assuming it's a he) is extremely creative in using the urban landscape canvas as part of his art. His Skelewags' style is extremely reminiscent of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride - who doesn't like that?




This is truly one of the neatest things I've seen in a while. Not sure why I'm so excited by these images but they do make me really happy! Unfortunately the official Skelewags site is under construction but you can find more images here and of course with a simple Google Images search. [love!]

Update: Connection Made!

Remember that post from a couple of days ago about the guy who was trying to find a girl he saw on the New York subway? Turns out he found her! And only in a mere four days after putting the site up.


Hooray for modern day love stories!

Updated update: Dream girl has been identified as Camille Hayton. I know you needed to know.

Mark Verhaagen

Mark Verhaagen is a Dutch illustrator and animator that creates beautifully surreal characters and scenarios with a varied cast of fuzzy wuzzies, cute robots and bipedal rolly pollies. His work is slightly reminiscent of Jeremy Dower's style, whom I previously blogged about here. His Flickr page is also definitely worth a gander. I'd love to get copies of some of his prints if someone can point me in the right direction.

Missed Connection

The romantic part of me wants to help illustrator Patrick Moberg find the Girl Of His Dreams. The blogger in me wants to post this cute picture. He saw her on the subway in New York City on November 4th. He made this flyer and set up a website dedicated to his search. It's like Craigslist's Missed Connections (which, by the way, are a perfect read for a rainy Sunday afternoon) with pictures.

Addendum: This reminds me of an article I read in the New York Times a few years ago called I Saw Her on the L Train. Man I'm a sucker for this stuff.
