Supermarket Safari

Grocery shopping certainly can be a dull  task- aisle after aisle of offensively luminescent looking juices and instant noodles...But sometimes if you keep a good lookout you see some really quirky packagings that make you smile.

The Company of People

. Dallas Clayton

.

. Orderly

.

. Just after the sun burned out 

. and all who were left

. sleeping in the grass

. killing your enemies 

. and sex at all hours for no damn good reason 

. right out in the open.

impressive collective of artists, and I can guarantee it as an excellent way to pass an afternoon,

evening, and possibly night. Get inspired

Amazing work.
