Being a guys, guy, which means I like to watch sports, gawk at hot chicks, and consume large quantities of booze, I do not really understand art. I appreciate and respect good art but I do not really get it because well, it is art.
Last weekend I checked out this big, month long art event called Artomatic in DC. A buddy was showing off some pimp still pictures that he had shot. The show took place in a huge warehouse with art displays on about 8 floors with live music performing and overall, it was a very cool experience.
Anyway, I came across an exhibit focused totally on using Marshmallow Peeps to depict pop culture scenes. Here are my favorite displays that I snapped photos of:
"Peep Set Me Up"
The infamous DC Mayor Marion Barry's crack party arrest.
"Amy Winepeep's Rehab"
"3 Days of Peeps&Music"
"The Peeps Next Door"
"Abbey Road and the Peeposterous Clues"
Dusty Finger Prints

Tis the Season- Mac G Endorsements
Since Tis the holiday season, I wanted to spread some Mac G goodwill. When I am not I posting You Tube clips of drunk people or scantily dressed women, I do write on this blog(remember that?) and I pimp out things that I enjoy. Movies, Music, TV shows,Beer, Sports Teams, etc.
Currently, I make very little(none)money on this blog so my personal recommendations are not mirages to shill for purely monetary gain.
Before Mac G's World sells out(Where you at Jack Daniels?)and thus loses valuable street/blogger cred, I wanted to highlight the magnificent work of some buddies.
Over the next few weeks, I will also "endorse" my favorite writers, musicians, DVDs, and whatever other random thing pops into my head.
The Inaugural Mac G endorsement is to my boy D at DEEZ DECKS. He hand-paints custom skateboard decks and they are fabulous pieces of art.
I have 2 decks, the Marley one pictured above and a board with the 6 original members of Widespread Panic, up at my own place. D has this art form mastered and they make great gifts for any occasion.
All decks are reasonably priced and easy to set up in your pad.
Have you tried to get a poster framed recently? Be prepared to bend over and grab your ankles upon entry at those framing stores. It cost me 250 bones to get three posters framed at Michaels awhile back and this was with the supposed 50% off too.
All you need is a hammer and a few nails as the decks come with holes that you can safely pound through into your wall. You could also balance it with one nail and some wire. Bam, Donedee.
D's fly work has a music theme to it but he is multi talented to all types of design. I think my next 2 board requests are Gilbert Arenas and Barack Obama.
Check out a few of his pieces down below and they are also available at his My Space profile and pictures.
