Halloween Is On the Way!

A classic:

I'm excited for Halloween! I'm going to be an owl. I tried out some owl/feather type kind of makeup situation, and I need your opinion!

Please, don't be shy. Some example responses:

1) Girl, you look more like a tree than an owl!

2) I'm so distressed that I won't be in New Orleans on H.Ween to see you rock this.

3) Honeychild, even if you hipster-ify it, the makeup they wore in KISS is terrible.

4) Bitch you ain't no kind of owl. Shit.

5) I wanna be on you.

One Hand in the Air for the Big City

British artist Stephen Wiltshire is currently attempting to draw the Manhattan skyline from memory. since Monday October 26th. Wiltshire began filling in an 18 foot canvas at the Pratt institute, Brooklyn. The drawing is expected to be complete by Friday. You can follow his progress through the live webcam here.

Wiltshire, diagnosed with autism at the age of three, displays an unusually powerful photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.
