Non-sense graffiti on buildings upsets me greatly. But I respect and encourage artistic murals any day. Let's face it, some buildings look better (more interesting) with make-up on!
I came upon the Spanish artist, Santiago Morilla as I was browsing the new issue of Elephant magazine this weekend...and his "architectural illustrations" put a smile on my face. Here are a few examples of his hilariously beautiful characters. I encourage you to visit his website and blog...

Cirque du Soleil unveiled its latest traveling show, TOTEM, in its hometown of Montreal last week. . .and to my surprise. . .do the butterflies look familiar? I came across an enormous advertisement in one of Montreal's downtown Metro stations... and I had to take a picture (I always carry a camera with me!) The circus inspired by haute couture? I love it.
