Yup. I just got back in from Carrot's morning walk and my ears are stinging with the cold.

Once upon a time, someone posted some pictures from an artist who was painting robots into "classic" artwork they had gotten at thrift stores. I've searched with both the cellar search tool and site-specific google, but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is?

nice find, bruce.

Clod-thinking of investing in art? I'm just wondering why you'd think of that. I hate dystopian landscapes. You like?

No no, I just discovered that an old friend of mine does the exact same thing, and I was thinking it might have been his paintings that I remembered being posted here so long ago. I had been thinking it was an IoTD, but it was probably the link that Bruce posted, in the "cool links" thread or something. My friend's paintings are not full of destructive laser-eyes like the ones in the link, they're mostly like a giant robot sitting under a tree contemplating a flower, that sort of thing.

Robot contemplating a flower is better...but I'm still pretty anti-robot.

I remember seeing those paintings too. I thought they were clever.

Tampa on boil water warning because a squirrel chewed through a powerline at the water treatment plant. I have to keep reminding myself not to drink tap water.
