Curious World of Toys

I’ve recently stumbled across a wonderful photographer and storyteller on flickr.  Michael (aka “frogmuseum2″) has kindly given me permission to share one of his photos.  As you can see here, his characters come to life with their own little oddworld personas.   Since quirky is my favorite kind of art, this is right up my ally.

Check out more of his work at flickr .

Frozen in Grand Central

I want to be a part of something like this. I’ve followed their exploits after I first heard about them on “This American Life”. Ira Glass interviewed the organizer of a “stunt” where they picked a guy out at random at a bar and threw him a birthday party . They brought gifts, bought drinks, and called him Ted all night. He at first protested and eventually gave in.

After watching the video, check out some of their other uber-cool improv at their site .
