Cerra Perdida (Lost Wax): What's better than free sculpture in the street? In Barcelona an artist is "losing" sculptures around town for every month of the year.

Is it just me or is this guy obsessed with pea-breasts?

Um. June was alright, I guess. I'd probably need a shower if I touched any of the others.

Sorry 'bout that.

I really like the photo sequence of finding the sculptures - there's a pleasant, sweet quality to finding artwork when you're not expecting it.

Also, what's with the DavidRakoff tag?

The intro quote about being a donor in the "about" page on the site was one from David Rakoff. Why him? I dunno. Apparently he's big in Bartttthelona.*

*(I just love saying it that way, sorry.)
