Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.  - Haruki Murakami

Ritchie Havens died this week. Loved that man's songs.

Roadsworth chalk work on roads:   In 2001 artist Peter Gibson began a guerrilla street art campaign to encourage the city of Montreal to build more bike lanes. What began as a project borne of activism eventually became an art project that continues to this day. Assuming the name Roadsworth stating, “where Wordsworth is a poet of words, Roadsworth is a poet of roads,” the artist has cleverly modified roads, sidewalks, parking lots and any other publicly visible asphalt surface he can transform with paint. If you want to learn more, the artist recently took a moment to share some thoughts with My Modern Met and you can see much more of his work on his website.

ROA,  (born c. 1975) is the pseudonym of a graffiti artist from Ghent, Belgium. He has created works on the streets of cities across Europe and the United States,

generally  wild animals (such as rats) or birds (such as crows) in black and white.[2]

In 2010 ROA came to particular notice in the UK when Hackney council threatened to paint over one of his paintings, a 3.5m high rabbit. The rabbit had been legally painted on the wall of a recording studio in Hackney Road, London.[1] A campaign was launched to keep the mural, by the building's owners and local residents, forcing the council to change its mind.[3]  Convenient that he picks my own 'familiars' to paint, isn't it?

A 'gift' from a reader, unfortunately just the virtual representation.  I need these...

And another 'gift'!  Love these, keep 'em coming!  I'm glad the headline says what he's disguised as because I thought at first it was a pickle.
