Soldier’s wooden shoe art charms Camp New Amsterdam

Air Force Sgt. Lonnie Thompson at Camp New Amsterdam in The Netherlands adds personal designs to wooden souvenirs given to departing servicemen. The 23 year old Avionics tech doodles freehand from travel photos, creating ski scenes and a plaster plaque of the 2d Tactical Fighter Squadron emblem.

Art Happenings Along Emeryville Freeway Draw Cars

Driftwood sculptures along the Eastshore Freeway draw daily traffic and curiosity in Emeryville California. A hitchhiking hand and a headless horseman are among the pieces believed to be created since 1985 by an anonymous artist. University of California Berkeley art professor Harold Paris notes the works stem from self expression rather than the formal art world. Roadway officials acknowledge the pieces, with some vandalism repaired and concerns that they may pose a traffic hazard.
