Human Pixel Project
My first 4 tiles for the Human Pixel Project.
Artist Peter Smuts has had over a thousand artists participate now in the project each doing mono coloured tiles to be made into much larger works of art. I’m only annoyed that I won’t be able to see them in person as they are being shown in Cambridge, USA.
I have noticed recently that almost everyplace in America has a British equivalent. For examples Hollywood is actually in Birmingham, England. There is also a Warwick on Rhode Island and even a Stratford in Connecticut. It is actually a fact (that I just made up) that these places in America are actually an exact replica of their British equivalents. During the early 19th Century when the Americans decided to build all these towns and cities it was decided that it was cheaper to buy up the British plans than design their own.
What the American builders hadn’t realised though was that an America inch is approximately twice as large as a British inch. Which is why when you go on holiday from Britain to America things seem much larger there than over here. As a result of the larger cities they also had to build larger cars, larger bikes and also larger meals for their larger restaurants.

….Also. the Bullring in Birmingham, Alabama took much longer to demolish, due to the vast quantity of solid concrete invovled!

… Are you saying that SIZE MATTERS? Gee, I never knew that one of our inches was equivalent to two of yours.

Jay - bless ‘em for bulldozing the old Bullring.
I can buy Jimmy Choos in the new one.

Found ya via Duke of Earl - did you know that there is a ‘London’ in Cananda? Funny huh? We have British equivalents in South Africa too e.g. “Lansdowne Road” is an actual road, not a soccer field and “Goodwood” is actually a dodgy low class suburb and not a horse racing course. In fact we have American equivalents too, i.e. Orlando & Philadelphia. We even have mythological equivalents, i.e. Valhalla and Atlantis!!

Vigs - Jimmy Choos, what I find funny is that these seem like ryhming slang for what they are.
Valkryrie - Altantis !!! Brilliant I must go on holiday there just so I can tell people I went to atlantis on holiday, obviously I will need to take a snorkle.

Offense?? None taken — not even close. Some people “talk trash,” I write garbage.
(”Atlantis on holiday.” Cute!)

Are egos mesured in inches?

I typed that into Google and on the first page it came up with the fact that the biggest human penis measured was 13 inches.
I’m not sure this answers your question.
