Luckily we caught the celebration before it ended yesterday (Sunday). Ever heard of Sanrio (Hello Kitty)? You probably have. But if not, remind me the next time I see you - I'll be sure to throw you off a cliff.

Celebrating 50 years in the game, Sanrio hosted a crazy two week long event in Santa Monica. It was about time I get off my butt and enjoy a night away from my computer and adding a higher chance for developing carpal tunnel syndrome.


It was 'Art Appreciation Day'. I'm not a sucker who reveals too much anyway, so you had to see it to believe it. It was a showcase for all artists alike to render their own story to the famous company. Basically, a 'take it how I see it' mentality. Sorry you missed out.


There were about ten more "stations" but this was my favorite. But could it still be my favorite if I forgot the artist's name?

This was pretty awesome from another station. Do you see it?

How about a miniature golf putting course?

Or an awesome ferris wheel overlooking the entire airport hangar? Watch out, you might hit the inflatable heads along the way.
