Southside Photos Du Jour: Poo Poo Platter
Just in time for April Fool’s Day Spacecraft present their “make it yourself” Poo Poo Platter.
As you can see some of it is rather convincing (note the presence of corn in the turd at far right. NICE.)— but there’s still no substitute for the real thing.
I’m sorry I missed out on this moving sale. Furniture, books, CDs, DVDs, Vintage duds, cool stuff and an enormous pile of shit?!? These people have everything!

Coming Up: Craft On Draught
I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning of late. You know, getting rid of stuff you told yourself— REPEATEDLY— that you would do something with. But never did. Here’s your opportunity to dump, drink and make. Leslie writes:
Bring out your busted sewing projects, tired T-shirts, hideous hand-me-downs—basically all the crappy clothes from your closet that you don’t want anymore, or the stuff you’ve been meaning to make awesome—for the ultimate happy hour of destruction, reconstruction, and social mixing!
You provide the scrap, we’ll provide the beer, inspiration, crafting tools, and help from author-crafters Heather Ross and Kayte Terry—plus special projects for purchase: Scrappliqué undies, totebags, cards, jewelry boxes, picture frames, onesies and T-shirts (with that new T-shirt smell)!
WHAT: Craft in Draught Debut
WHEN: April 2, 2009.
WHERE: Spacecraft Brooklyn
355 Bedford Avenue

North Brooklyn Street Art Du Jour: Naughty Bits
Bedford Avenue
North 7th Street
Shortly after I took the above photograph a worker at this site (which is located on Kent Street) asked me if this was supposed to be a flower. I saw no good reason why I should disavow him of this notion.

Williamspoint Photos Du Jour: Made Off
North 6th Street, Williamsburg
Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg
Yes kids, that’s a bigass portrait of Bernie Madoff being rolled down Franklin Street. The man behind the Madoff (and the dolley) is none other than Paul Richard. At last we met! He was a very nice guy— if a bit coy.* He told me this portrait was purchased by a collector on the Upper East Side. Is this true? I’ll leave that up to you, dear readers, to decide.
Miss Heather
*It should be noted that he seemed very happy to know the shit-laden manties on West Street were holding up.

Borough Of Found Toys: Special St. Paddy’s Day Edition
Beadel Street.
Bedford Avenue.
Greenpoint Avenue.
I know what you’re thinking:
What the hell does any of this have to do with St. Patrick’s Day?
That’s where the following select find from Havemeyer Street comes in.
Be sure to drink responsibly tonight or you might end up like this poor pachyderm.
No sir, being found in a pile of rubbish in a parking lot the next morning would really suck. Note that someone has gone to the trouble of tagging this toy. (Priceless.)
