Artomatic

Last Thursday, I wrangled one of the other summer associates into going to Artomatic, DC’s annual art show with hundreds of local artists. I had a great time last year, and this year did not disappoint. There were some pieces I didn’t really get (a display piled with hubcaps), some I liked a lot (lots of incredible photography), and some that were extremely memorable (a display of “homewrecker” Barbie dolls – it was art therapy). Just like last year, my favorite part of the show was the Peepsomatic. For those of you not familiar with this, it is a display of dioramas featuring the delicious marshmallow treat, Peeps. Here are the most clever from this year:

This one was called Sweet Revenge (the peeps are making little human-shaped treats called "Peeple")

You can find an entire slideshow at Washington Post (the real one) online.
