The R.R.R. Tricycle

This was a highly requested film, back in the days when film meant a 16mm film reel. 
In fact I was surprised to read that the film was created in 1981, it seemed to have a 70s look & feel to it (the book was published in 1978).

This is 'The remarkable riderless runaway tricycle' by Bruce McMillan. 

It began as a picture story in which a tricycle, whose young owner distractedly abandons it, ends up in a dump, but escapes and careens around town evading adult humans in a series of humorous hi-jinks and then returns, at last, to its downcast young owner.

Then Evergreen Productions made it into this 10 minute film. Enjoy.

3D bookshelf

Didn't realise it has been sooo long between posts.
So here is one from Twisted Sifter.


Dutch street artists Jan Is De Man and Deef Feed recently completed this amazing mural on the side of an apartment building in Utrecht, Netherlands.
According to Jan, the artists asked people in the neighbourhood to share their favourite books so they could incorporate local favs into the 3Dtrompe-l'oeil mural. The mural took about a week to paint. 


Love the way they have incorporated the windows into the work, think they look like the pamphlet boxes with the insert label frames.
