Systemic Juanamedina (who herself is an amazing illustrator) sent me a link to the work of Mr. Oblivious (Mark Gonyea).  Great little illustration comics. It’s really cool! LINK.

Systemic Pahnl sends in some of his own street art from his website. It’s cool stuff! The man also ran a comic for quite some time, and that means if you’re waiting for more posts on this site, maybe you should check out his.  LINK TO ART. LINK TO COMIC.

Next up is from Systemic Josh, who sends this one all the way from Japan! He writes:

Its directions on how to use a western-style toilet and has been stuck on the wall of this abandoned house that I stay in on one of the islands since probably the 1950s.  It is located above one of the scariest toilets I’ve ever used.  Its a second floor drop toilet. Basically a western looking throne with a hole in the bottom over top of a 2 story pipe.

A bit of a translation
Title:  ”On the use of a seated porcelain toilet”

Picture on left is “for when men having a small bowel movement / Please use this by lifting the lid and  seat and facing the porcelain while it comes out” picture on Right is “for when you need to have a large  bowel movement, or when women have a small bowel movement / Please use by lifting only the lid, face backwards and politely sit down on the seat.”

Next up is Systemic Philip. He writes:

Seen in a local restaurant in Dallas leading to the porch for your next tripping compendium.

Are those shoes at the end of the arms for some reason or is it some fingers-together lowered jazz hands pose trying to add some style to the trip?

Well, anyone want to help Philip out with an answer? LINK.
