Jeremy Fish thinks thinks a Turtle Burger is on par with some of the world’s greatest combinations, “like a peanut butter and jelly sando for example,” and we would have to agree. A little bit of his wife’s genius Halloween costume combined with a drawing from years past inspired the design of this epic piece brought to you by Grassroots California.

The artist reminds us of our peaceful ignorance as we sleep. If you hit a road block or develop a pattern of formulated cause and effect, take inspiration from “Innocent When We Dream” and hit the reset button. Other times, instead of looking inward, we get a little help from our friends. “Follow Me” encourages you to do just that; find guidance and support from those around you.

New mural by El Mac was just completed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  The work celebrates a local artisan who lives in the building where the mural was painted.  In El Mac’s signature style, the artist portrayed a woman who hand makes traditional Cambodian Tapestries. El Mac in his ongoing pursuit of giving people without voices a voice, celebrates with this mural her dedication to her community and preservation of the Cambodian culture.  Public Art of this nature is a rarity in the capital city and the wall was made possible by the Igloo Hong Project underwritten by the David Young Choe Foundation.
