Happy New Year, folks! It's been way too long since my last post. So sorry for the long hiatus! Please please forgive me. The holidays were busy, complete with a nasty flu virus that got passed around the household for days and days on end.

Anyway, I recently found myself in a Starbucks washroom, with a Sharpie in my back pocket, and a silly idea in my head. And so the following ensued...

What I like about this is I'm not actually vandalizing anything. It's sort of a polite, disposable form of graffiti. I left the last one in the dispenser.

UPDATE: One of these photos was used on the Apartment Therapy website, for an article/posting about paper towels (oddly enough).

Absolutely fabulous!

Thank God for spontaneous yet responsible creative types! Fabulous idea, man. Seriously.

[esto es genial]

Awesome! Sounds like something I'd do, but I haven't had enough creative juices to have unique ideas like yours ;)

Gracias!

These were fun to do.

Nice ones....so funny....this is not vandalism...this is art...;o

I've done the same thing except with Napkin dispensers at restaurants. It's fun to imagine what people;s reactions will be.

I'm inspired to go spam my Starbucks now.

Starbucks HAS to love you for that.. I'd be quite thrilled if your wonderful art was peeking out of my paper towel dispensers!!! YOU = MY HERO.

I'm so going to steal this idea. I'm too old to indulge in grafitti, but THIS is art! Who wouldn't smile at this?

Insanely cool and cute. :) Might try it next time I have a Sharpie and I'm in a public restroom. XD

I love this idea. It's really cute. I wish I could go into a Starbucks restroom and discover these. Hopefully you brightened a few people's day with it. Happy new year to you too!

Hahahaha! - I love it! Those are fantastic! Do More! Do More! :D (welcome back btw, I missed you!)

[This is not good it's brilliant!!!]

It would totally make my day if I found that in the bathroom. Wait, that sounded weird. Well, you know what I mean. Anyway - it's great.

[this is good]

Great Idea!
I really love your analog/digital blog.
Happy voxing!

[this is good]

Haha! These are great!

Very funny. I think you probably made at least one person's day when they found that.

[this is good]

If I saw this, it would've made my day. I'm selfish and I would've taken it and kept it for myself, thereby denying any occupant of the bathroom after my departure the same joy your paper towel drawings gave me.

[this is good]

terrific!

[this is good]

so sweet. I'd be so amused if i'd seen that.

So awesome!

[this is good]

Hahaha! Did you see a long line waiting outside when you finally got out of that bathroom? :P

[this is good]

I would LOVE to come across these in the public washroom! But I would probably leave with wet hands because I would want someone else to see them too.
