Tonight I was hit with a hand full of eggs and huge rock on my back and called “Nigger” by a white guy in the backseat of a dark blue truck as I was riding my bike on Westheimer and Jeanetta. They drove too fast for me to get the license plate number. I had to get a cop to drive me home. This night makes me wonder how blacks did it back in the day, and why the community is looking the way it is now. I am trying not to cry, but I am in physical pain from the rock and not understanding why I deserved this.

Artist Mike Stilkey paints images of humans and animals on book spines. His online gallery has pictures of his stunning 33 book sculpture projects. I particularly enjoy Travel Guide to Russia, but that could just be my fondness for owls in top hats.
If you had the chance to redesign the iconic hundred dollar bill, with no limitations, what would it look like? Make Your Franklin, an online community art project, challenges participents to re-imagine the bill using a high resolution image they provide. As you can see from these initial results, the designs range from clean euro-esq to dark Darth Vader inspiration.
