I habitually set my clocks for five minutes in the future so that I get where I’m going on time. Would this Tattly temporary tattoo have the same effect, or would it make me give up trying all together?

If I were pressed to pick my two favorite sculptures at this weekend’s Baltimore Artscape festival, I’d have to nominate the works below for their sheer awesomeness canny reference of the quotidian, as we say here in grad school.
One might mistake the latter for an ordinary tire swing, except for the painted slogan directing the viewer’s (or rider’s) attention to the movement of minds and bodies.
One might mistake the former for an ordinary circus peanut, except that it’s at least eight feet tall. If I were to lick only one sculpture for good luck this weekend, it would be this one.

This inspired a fine crop of goatees, handlebars, and even a unibrow, but for art historical content and sheer style, Ala led the hairy pack with this entry.
