Paying attention all the time is an interesting way to go through the day. When you’re a tourist, however — in my case, traveling in London —  it pays off, because you can spot all the hidden weird things that residents never notice.

If I am ever asked to name my three favorite pastimes (which really is not often) I will respond as follows:

I like to Eat
I like to Look at Art
and
I like to Watch TV

You can see that my love of Art is way up there, ranking just behind my love of sustenance, TV and also (not mentioned previously) sleeping. Art Fairs are a terrific way to get a huge and diverse art fix in one place and my favorite is the twice-annual Affordable Art Fair (AAF), which I have been highlighting and photo-recapping since 2015! I can’t believe how much I rule.

And so did he.
He kept it hid

And never knew.

Shel Silverstein (September 25, 1932 – May 10, 1999)

Spotted On a Utility Pole Near Stuyvesant Cove, NYC. Street Artist Unknown.

All members of the 2wo 7even Bandits add the number 27 to their tags.
