Soaked Advertisement is a street find. Just walking home on a rainy day in the Meatpacking District and here you go. Art at your feet.

I love how the face on top goes a little transhuman slash alien. Whereas the female figure on the bottom half goes roasted red pepper. Weird visual clues throughout.

Reading any found imagery like this becomes like reading tea leaves. It is a mystical endeavor. It is all an attempt to find the hidden and the tiny synchronicity.

Today was one of those moments. The post that went live was First Thing. I get ready for work. Post the piece. Then get dressed and head out.

Outside my building door the first song that plays in a seven hundred song playlist is just Arca. Nothing there.

Song ends just as I get to the crosswalk of Eighth Avenue. Like a Virgin comes on. Thanks for playing.
