the shape of things to come

i've been teaching kids a lot this summer - how to dance mostly and also how to shape up and behave like a decent human being. like, you've got to stop punching your brother in the stomach, and why don't you just give me those sharp rocks you found on the floor instead of shoving them in your mouth, and yes Victoria, Jesus loves gay people too.

It's brought to light many of the simpler facets of life for me, like that dogs are way better. And i'm constantly reminded that basic shapes, colors, patterns and melodies are ever occurring, ever fascinating, and ever so much fun. 

Here are some of my favorite examples in recent weeks appearing in Malibu, Santa Monica and La Jolla, CA, respectively.
