German artist Tim Schneider knows this.

Hence his ongoing mission to anthropomorphise the world with an endless supply of styrofoam and ping-pong balls with cartoon pupils drawn on.

He calls this temporary public art project ‘They Live’

Interviewed recently by Turnstyle magazine Schneider said of his work:

The eyeballs explain something difficult like perception very easy. It changes the purpose of things: a trash bin can be the Cookie Monster. The world around suddenly isn’t something fixed anymore, it’s something you can change. People are realizing this very optimistic opinion with a smile on their faces, more than I ever could have asked for.

It comes around so quickly doesn’t it?

Georgia Salpa and Keith Duffy help launch National Kebab Day on Grafton Street, Dublin literally earlier. On December 8 Abrakebabra will be selling ALL kebabs for €2 with €1 going to Childline.

We’re calling it Little Shishmas.

Unless you can up with a more playful kebab/Xmas mash-up.
