Crab-bot on Valencia

Taylor (a.k.a. Sweet T) sent us a pic of this crab-bot the other night:

I saw this tonight at 18th and Valencia. It was fresh – both literally and figuratively.

Ha!  Those claws and lifeless eyes remind me of Rosie from The Jetsons, except way more terrifying.

Side note: I’ve always wanted to stencil something into undried cement, but always stop myself because I know it’d probably be pretty shellfish of me (OH YES I DID!).

    this just added $1000 to the price tag of the new sidewalk, since they’ll be required to re-do the work.

    Yes, it is very selfish. You may think that etching your thoughts in wet concrete, stenciling sidewalks, slapstickering, or tagging signs and walls is cool, but it’s NOT. If you want to express yourself, and not at the city’s or other people’s expense do it in your own house, or tatoo your body, fercrisake. Otherwise it’s just bonehead graffiti, not much different than a dog or cat pissing on a fire hydrant to mark his/her territory, no matter what the “popular culture” might say.
