A screenshot from Apple Maps. The “arrow” part of a pop-up bubble is disconnected from the corner radius of the bubble itself, leaving a gap. It looks like arse.
Brâncuși’s “Princess X”, in marble. It’s quite phallic.
In 1916, Brancusi moved to Impasse Ronsin, a quiet alley close to Montparnasse in Paris, home to a community of artists. His studio there was both, a place to live and a workspace, where business was conducted and friendship and celebrations took place. Artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Amedeo Modigliani, Fernand Léger, and the composer Eric Satie were frequent visitors, as were collectors and admirers of Brancuss work. Although Brancusi never joined an artists' group, he was well acquainted with the Parisian avant-garde, among them the Dadaists and Surrealists, and attended many of their events. His sociable nature is evident in his corres-pondence, which he carefully preserved. Music and dance also played an important role in Brancusi's everyday life: Lizica Codreano, Florence Meyer, and other dancers composed their choreographies in his studio.

A cute little monster made by my kids out of from air-dry clay. His body is bright pink and he has three knobbly horns on his head. His eyes can only be described as “googly” and he has thin blue lips with two teeth poking up through them on the left hand side.
A bird of prey sitting in a dried-out tree. It’s eyeballing the camera.
