Return Of The Dendroidally-Enhanced Vehicles

After a two year hiatus, the Santa Cruz's traditional first-weekend-of-summer car show, Woodies On The Wharf, was back this past weekend. This year over 200 vintage cars, mostly from the '40s and '50s were on display. Our only complaint: with so many classic cars in such a relatively small area it was hard to get a good angle for full profile pics.

Another Lost Pet Flyer? Well...

Have you seen Pablo?

A quick google reveals this is another stealth art project,

 complete with a facebook page and assorted merch.

We hope that Pablo finds his way back to his family soon.

Seen in Joshua Tree CA

 Post-posting edit: apparently fake/parody/viral pet flyers are kind of an ongoing thing, with collections posted on various web pages. Here's one more seen recently in Santa Cruz:

More Random(?) Paper: Peculiar Posted Parchment Perusal

Another missing pet flyer? Well, not quite.

Seen on Glen Ellen Drive in Willow Glen

 

 

Walking around the 'hood the other day, we passed this and did a double take. What the heck? Obviously a photo and follow up investigation was required. 

 

Turns out this is sort of a guerilla art project instituted by conceptual artist Steve Chapman. His (Not a) Lost Cat Project outlines the concept and solicits volunteers to take part by posting the flyer and emailing him a photo. The webpage has an interactive map showing the worldwide locations--including this one.
