Superflat

Finally went to the "Murakami" exhibit at "The Brooklyn Museum" over the weekend. Quite impressed - the collection was satisfyingly comprehensive. Spent a solid 2 hours in there (still need to check out the actual museum sometime). Although, completely agreed with a comment made by some dude in the lift "it would have been perfect if we could take photos". The smiling flowers and 'my lonesome cowboy' (NSFW - Google at own risk) will be around till July 13th - worth dropping a few bucks to see why Kanye West loves this guy.

And if you wanna be cheap and forgo the special exhibition, give the Target sponsored free first Sats (of the month) a shot.

Here is the one photo I managed to take in the stairwell - lame, yes I know:
