A case in point occurred a couple of days ago, after having posted the Jasper Johns-inspired/influenced drawings made from the earlier photos of local 'double black line' road markings. It seems obvious that I should then notice, at the kerbside & adjacent to said double black lines, a crushed cider can which of course relates (when living aesthetically) to Jasper's 'Painted Bronze' (1960) sculpture of a pair of Ballantine ale cans. And then, chronologically, both art-historically & along the course of my journey, from Johns on to Pop art in the form of 2 'roadkill' Coca-Cola cans...

is this is the first documented evidence of canned roadkill as potential art subject/object, with regard to TOoT's practice?...
the dbls are most interesting here - i am attracted to the scoured surface qualities of the grey/black with hints of yellow - i am presuming they have since been repainted...
it's a pity when writing one doesn't actually see the words/images that one wants to respond to - and hopefully intelligently!
