Taco Bell's Version of a Fortune Cookie?
I haven't eaten fast food or Taco Bell for some time. But, I recently noticed Taco Bell puts little jokes or not so funny ones on their sauce packets. I guess they want their customers to feel better about the crap they are about to eat.

This reminds me of a dream I had last night. I was laying in bed in that time between night to morning...a glimmer of light spotted to my face. I glanced at my desk across from my bed in the purple lemon room. and the desk table, computer and chair appeared like the face of a menacing cartoon. I noticed my window drape was open...and I looked out. I saw 2 men dressed in black and white hoods standing on a balcony across from my house. I was only dreaming. But, I was awake.
Amazing illustrations by Victor Enrich. Could you imagine driving and coming across one of these? Wow
This is the Shalom Tower…On the sides we find a vertical strip of windows that honestly, for me, look like the zip that I always wanted to tear down in order to see what’s hidden inside.
The Opera Tower…militarization, tends to be a forgotten concept in the city of Tel Aviv, who apparently lives outside what’s happening a few miles away. It is known as the Tel Aviv bubble, where everything is wonderful and ideal. It is worth to remind people of this wonderful city, that the conflict is still alive and that it is exactly in Tel Aviv where some of the most controversial decisions are taken.
This tower…has always caught my attention…its square shape reminds me more of a bandonion to an accordion, which is why this project has got the name of “Tango”.

Growing up in a Christian household in Texas, Trenton Doyle Hancock was immersed in myths and narratives that he found while reading The Bible. Couple these narratives with his love of comic books, toys and the Masters of the Universe series and one is able to see the pool of imagery and ideologies that helped shape Hancock's world.
"If you look at the grouping of the stories and belief systems that I learned from growing up, I wanted to take them, breakaway from them and apply them to my own art project based around a series of myths and symbols."
Through his prints, drawings, painting, collages and even ballet, Hancock has created an ongoing narrative involving a group of mythical creatures that live and die in a Tolkienesque underworld. There are Vegans - small ant-like creatures that live in his underworld and militantly hate meat. There's Mounds - hairy mountainous creatures that are rooted in Earth and a handful of supporting character's like Torpedo Boy, Painter and

Lloyd. There are good guys, bad guys, murders, plots, subplots, ideologies, and just about everything that goes with a continuing series of fantastical sagas.
"I feel it's important to have this narrative coupled with paintings because it's something I haven't really seen before in fine art world. I mean painters throughout history used narratives, even the abstract expressionists did, but I wanted to take it to a different place. I want to tell explicit stories and have them be major components of the work to create a new hybrid conversation."
Trenton was recently commissioned to be one of the artists to do mural work at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. His work is part of the collection at many museums, including The Brooklyn Museum, MoMA, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and The Whitney. He was part of the PBS Series Art 21 and is represented by James Cohan Gallery here in New York.
