Hello Brainstorm

If you live in NY, you could totally punch a panda. Nate Hill, with the help of a panda suit ordered off of eBay, invites total strangers to unleash their aggression and go at it. He developed a character called, “Punch Me Panda” who offers a public service to passer-bys by letting them destress through violence.

“I choose the panda suit because the panda face really melts people’s heart,” says Hill. “I wanted to have people get out their aggression on something cute. It’s fun to have that contradiction. This is an art project. I’m not just a thrill seeker.”

Great post over at Fast Company on illustrator Brian Rea’s mural work. He has two murals, one is a collection of his fears and the fears/worries of the people around him. He then sectioned the fears/worries out into different categories; physical fears, supernatural fears, political fears, random, and emotional. The other mural focuses on one of his greatest fears: UFO’s. After spending months researching the topic, he illustrated different UFO sightings and the dates/places that they happened. Both murals were done with white chalk and paint and took approximately 13 days to complete.
