These images come from this article here. I am not going to discuss it though. You can do that on your own. Just sit back and enjoy great art.
Nun on a Skateboard
Yup, you heard me, a nun on a skateboard. But did I mention that nun was fat? All you need now is for her to be old and you got an awesome meme there. Too bad she isn’t . . .

So, we all love silly cat videos & pictures. Admit it, you have spent way too much time looking at those funny kitties. Particularly, if we dress them up as people and pretend for one moment that they are human. It’s priceless . . . And all too human . . .
All this you already know – you closet cat lover! But what you might not know is that we have loved this crap for eons. Just take a look at these novelty postcards from the turn of the last century. I bet you still like it!

Art By Alley Part 1 – The Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda, NY
Last summer I took several rolls of film and my new “used” camera to work and took lots of pictures! It took me forever but I finally got them developed. Now they are all edited and ready to join the world! Enjoy.

Six Flags over New Orleans: Defunct and Creepy
In my area, we had Six Flags: Darien Lake, which just used to be Darien Lake, which now just Darien Lake again. They sold the park to another company. But, what if instead, they had chosen to abandon the park? Pictures of Six Flags: New Orleans gives you a hint of what would have happened. Back when Hurricane Katrina hit, the park was severely damaged. So it was bad that Six Flags determined it was not worth fixing – but they couldn’t demolish it either. So it sat and nature started to take back what was theirs.
Flash forward to 2011, urban explorers go into the defunct park and take pictures of the rides and buildings as they are today. They are some of the best urban decay pictures that I have seen. And I love pictures of urban decay! (Crazy I know – but it’s both beautiful and sad to me at the same time.) There are a few issues, but overall worth taking a look at.
