Put some giant pins a couple of blocks down the street and we’ve got something.

I think it’s going to be alright. Yes the worst is over now. The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

Wait, no, I get what the artist is saying. It’s a ball. And it’s red. This is some deep stuff, man...

I wonder how much if anything he is making for it. Or maybe it just boosts his name, so he can sell future art?

I do remember that movie “the little red balloon” from when I was a very young child. The kid in that pic is probably a great grandfather.

One thing for certain, it's not art. It's just a blow up red ball.

But that would be a good use for it. 8>)
