Help

I made this painting last year in art class it was supposed to be this Beatles inspired giant Polaroid... I brought it home with me once the year ended and since then it sits there in my room mocking me since it didnt turn out the way i wanted.. so my question does anyone know a place where i can dump it or if anyone wants i'm willing to give it away too :)

Toy Story Tuesday: "MOMMY I BURNT UR SHOES"

Brace yourselves this is a long one..

Technically this isn't a "childhood/toy story" story since it happened last week but i still consider myself as a child so :)

Here it goes: last week i was completely and utterly B.O.R.E.D so i did what i usually do, i opened my "crafts cabinet" (its filled with art supplies that i randomly buy) and i decided to plaster something, my friend suggested i plaster a heel so thats what i did. BUT the trouble is i didnt have an old heel (with my clumsiness i rarely buy them) I asked my mother for one and i told her i would try my best not to ruin it.

So i followed the instructions and covered it with Vaseline first so when the plaster dries i can take it off easier and less messier. After i did one side i decided to put it in the microwave because the INSTRUCTIONS said it would dry faster. turns out leather+ microwave+ plaster = not good!

After smelling burnt/melted leather i pried the microwave open to see what went wrong (in my defense i left the kitchen for a couple of seconds) The heel was so hot i picked up and threw at the nearest counter. Between the smell and the little burnt part my survival instincts told me to hide the evidence and flee the scene of the crime. I tested the water by telling my mom what happened, when i saw her face, i laughed and said it was a joke (im a chicken dnt judge me!)

I finished plastering the heel and spent hours trying to hide the burned part, let me tell u smth heels are hard to plaster! when it dried (the natural way) i didnt know what to do with it now that its done. Untill i decided to collage it some of my friends liked others hated it, you decide :)
here's the real one, the one i made, and then the sides after collaging :

Kilroy was Here

Meet Kilroy! I have been introduced to him by a friend of mine who used it for an art project. Believe it or not Kilroy is EVERWHERE, he's in africa, the U.S, South America, Australia, and Asia. There are so many legends speculating who he is, and who was the first draw him you can check this site for most of them. another funny thing about kilroy? he's called different names and there are different drawing of him based on culture but what never changes is his big nose and half his face peering over a wall. You can find him on the berlin wall, some say he's on the torch of the statue of liberty, he's on spongebob, and on a cover of a rolling stone album, and a magnet on Jerry Seinfeld's fridge in the show. Where else is Kilroy? KUWAIT! here are some of the attached picture of him on some of the locations.

Art?

I always thought graffiti held some truth or a deeper meaning and thats why its on the streets instead of an artsy fartsy museum as if it was there to remind people of some simple truths. Here are some the ones I like :)

Trash?

"One man's trash is another man's treasure"
all of the furniture in the picture is made out of trash :) fascinating!

a chandelier made of banana cartons.

parallel strips of metal and 334 newspapers collected from the street. the curved line were created by bending the wire around a tree trunk. Then punched holes in the papers and pushed them through until the structure was solid and strong enough to hold up to five people
