As one of the most popular and recognizable roadside attractions along Route 66 in Amarillo, Texas, Cadillac Ranch continues to draw visitors, artists, and lots and lots of spray paint. Made up of 10 Cadillacs with their noses buried in the ground, this art installation highlights the tail fins of the cars which have become an ever-changing canvas from the spray paint visitors bring.
Located near the popular Cadillac Ranch in Texas, the RV Park and Cadillac Ranch Gift Shop has a unique display of beveled Cadillacs (in the style of the popular Route 66 attraction) to attract passing motorists on the western edge of Amarillo.
I want to extend my thanks to artist Fred Moody who took inspiration from one of my "Hometown Series" images of Medicine Hat, Alberta last year and asked me if he could paint it. I'm always appreciate of these requests and only ask that artists share an update of their work if they happen to follow through on the idea. Fred took it a step further and surprised me by mailing the completed framed canvas painting as a gift for my personal collection.
As someone who doesn't have much of my own work on my walls, this painting by Fred Moody is a really unique highlight. I love his interpretation, I'm humbled by the gift, and I just think this makes a really cool story for one of my gallery walls. Thank you, Fred! This is amazing.

As the historic centre of Rome, the Capitoline Hill is the most significant of the seven hills that Rome was founded on. The Piazza del Campidoglio is the large public square that now sits atop the Capitoline Hill, and was designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century. Since the Middle Ages, the Piazza del Campidoglio has been the seat of civil administration in Rome, and to this day, has remained a symbolic landmark and prominent gathering space.

As one of Banksy's most recognizable pieces, his rats appear in numerous locations. This "love rat" (now quite faded and with the heart largely gone) is located just beneath London Bridge in the underpass. While not exactly a Banksy I'd go out of my way to see, if you're walking the riverfront in London, England this one is easy to cross paths with if you know it's there.
