Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis, Minnesota gathered 151 artists and asked each of them to portray one of the initial 151 Pokémon in their own style. Here are some of my personal favorites from The Pokémon Battle Royale.

Mahna Mahna!
So a friend an I ventured into the foreign borough they call Queens last Sunday.
Why in felted hell did you do to Queens you say? We wanted to see the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of The Moving Image, that's why!
Firstly, DON'T GO ON SUNDAY if you really want a proper museum experience.
There were alot of families with their infants and toddlers, so you can imagine the screaming, running, crying and sheer lack of respect for museum patrons.
The Museum itself is a wonderful display of moving image history with a collection that is steadily growing. As for the Jim Henson Exhibit, I really enjoyed it. The selections seemed a bit limited, but really, who wants to be trapped in a dark maze filled with goggly eyed puppets besides me?
Photographs are not allowed in this exhibit but seriously folks, I needed something to show, so I snuck one for yah!
Pictured above are the Muppets Bip Bippadotta (who i'm surprised to find out has a Facebook page) and two of his Snowth backup singers used in the skit, Mahna Mahna. The most famous rendition of Mahan Mahna aired on the Ed Sullian Show in 1969. The song is as catchy as Lambchops, 'This is the song that never ends', but not nearly as annoying.
Jim Henson was an amazing talent and remarkably funny. His lifes work continues to made a tremendous inpact on childrens television, education and children around the world.
The Jim Henson's Fantastic World Ends March 4th, so be sure you check it out before it ends.

I can see Your Halo Halo Halo
This past weekend I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
to see a new exhibit entitled, Heroic Africans.
It was a great exhibit showcasing various masks and iconic sculptures from
Angola, Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia, just to name a few.
What continues to perplex me is the no photography policy that some exhibits have.
I can understand the no flash photography rule.
The endless amounts of bright flashes damages the artwork.
But taking a picture with your cellphone should be allowed.
The quality is low, you can take off the flash so it does not
damage the work and you can have the phone silent.
Easy as pie!
Having MET security follow you around and give you the side eye is not the move.
Anyway, outside the museum was an ad for another exhibit that consisted of a beautiful mandala and was a perfect opportunity to take a GPOY.
