Never heard of the guy until a quick gander on Dalek’s blog, but I really wish I would have seen this exhibit while I was in Brooklyn. His art looks really cool to my eyes, but hey, who doesn’t think pills look cool, which are exactly what he’s making the mosaic works out of. More [...]

Durian Essence

March 7, 2011 – 3:16 PM

What’s better than a bottle of $1.00 Durian essence to use as a stink bomb, prank or as the author suggests for sticky rice or ice cream (WTF!?).. Need to get a bottle of this stuff, maybe in Chinatown. Link here. Great stuff to bring on BART.
