A Tentacle at the Last Bookstore

Every once in awhile I stop by my neighborhood bookstore (The Last Bookstore) and stroll around the aisles. It's always an interesting place, which not only seems to have more and more used and new books every time I go, but art as well. This intriguing item was mounted on the second floor balcony. I have no idea what it's about.

Recent cover shot for a good cause

My multiple exposure sequence of a bicyclist (just 8 layers in Photoshop) in downtown LA's green bicycle lane was recently used for the cover of the Southern California Association of Governments PDF guide for municipalities in planning for bikes and bicycle usage.

Cropped a little and it looks like this. 

Since I'm a big fan of urban bike riding and bicycle lanes, I waived the stock usage fee and just billed them for the file processing and upload.

Bike on, y'all!
