Urban Street Art - Reading Minds: Brooklyn, New York

Love the simplicity and creativity of this street-art piece by Katie Sokoler and Matt Adams. They make assumptions of what people think about on a daily basis and then attach thought bubbles on the walls of Brooklyn. As random people walk by, they snap a picture. What would be in your bubble?…

Gosh! SirMitchell Tees.



SirMitchell's little shop of t-shirts on Etsy makes me laugh. The designs are almost as awesome as unicorns, Star Wars, dinosaurs, or Halo, but less awesome than a Liger. They're probably the best drawings the artist has ever done.
