The City Has Eyes (8 Photos)
From an earthquake detection “kit” in a school hallway to a trash bin channeling Cookie Monster, googly eyes have quietly become one of the most playful forms of street-level intervention. This collection brings together eight clever, charming, and unexpected urban artworks from around the world — where a pair of eyes is all it takes to give life to objects, trees, and everyday structures. Featuring moments from sidewalks, forests, parks, and roundabouts, this is public art at its most fun.

Cookie Monster Bin
A blue trash bin with white googly eyes becomes a comical likeness of Cookie Monster, especially with a real cookie placed just inside the opening like a mouth. The transformation invites smiles from passersby and encourages playful interaction with public infrastructure.
Earthquake Detection Kit
A neon yellow sign taped to a beige brick wall reads “Earthquake Detection Kit,” with a pair of wobbling googly eyes stuck below the text. A tongue-in-cheek joke, it turns an otherwise dull wall into a moment of humor.
Tree Stump Creature
A weathered tree stump near a lake is brought to life with two oversized googly eyes. Its gnarled roots resemble crawling limbs, making the stump appear like a wide-eyed forest creature peeking out from the shoreline.
Staring Sculpture
A perforated spherical sculpture at a roadside location in Bend, Oregon has had a pair of googly eyes added. The eyes give the metal orb an expressive, animated look that humorously contrasts its abstract, static design.
Pac-Man Bollards – By Vanyu Krastev
A cracked concrete traffic bollard shaped like a ball is transformed into a character resembling Pac-Man with the simple addition of two googly eyes. The mouth-like crack and playful gaze give personality to the damaged structure.
Tree Hug – By Vanyu Krastev
A tree growing through a metal fence is given a whimsical face using googly eyes placed on the bars. The tree’s growth forms a natural mouth-like shape that, combined with a stub resembling a nose, creates a surprisingly expressive character.
Giant Tree Monster
A tall evergreen tree is turned into a towering creature using two oversized inflatable eyeballs. The result is a hilarious and surreal visual that transforms an ordinary tree into a cartoonish park guardian.
Deer Sculpture Surprise
A bronze sculpture of a mother deer and her fawn is playfully transformed with large googly eyes. The addition gives the pair a startled, cartoon-like expression, making this realistic public artwork suddenly feel animated and silly.With just two plastic eyes, artists and pranksters around the world are giving personality to the inanimate. These small interventions highlight the joy of noticing the overlooked and reshaping the mundane. Whether it’s a trash bin, tree, or bollard, nothing is safe from being googly-eyed — and we’re all better for it.

Eva Wiseman (Observer) makes an interesting connection between the decline in charity shop profits, the rise in services like Vinted or DePop & the costs of childcare forcing mums to stay at home (and make a bit of money on the side by selling second hand clothes).
Moreover, Wiseman asks: if we're just selling on Vinted for a bit of fun wouldn't it better to let the charity shops retain their part in that market for good causes?
observer.co.uk/news/columnists…
Eva Wiseman: Do we actually need to sell our old clothes?
Selling fashion on resale sites brings much circularity and a little profit, too. But it has a huge impact on charity shops. Maybe it’s time to just let your old clothes go…Eva Wiseman (The Observer)
Something to consider is that Vinted etc have advantages over charity shops for the buyers
My sister uses Vinted to buy her kids' clothes, and she can do it on her phone, while breastfeeding. See items from all over the country, filtered by age and type.
To do the same at a charity shop, she'd have to go in person, bringing the babies with her, which is very challenging
Although she could buy from Oxfam Online, of course, which does have a lively and extensive clothing section
My daughter buys from charity shops then sell s it on vinted. Cash for charity shops, cash for her.
Yes, this is included in the article as a common strategy... classic bit of arbitrage, of course
@patsytheshark
It's also not new.
"The image of an entrepreneurial mum starting a secondhand-clothes business says more about [poverty, exploitation, exclusion - I paraphrase and generalise] than it does about decluttering or sustainability or opportunity."
My great grandmother, in the 1890s, after they lost the farm due to debts, and then her husband fled, tried a number of ventures including selling second-hand clothes.
Plus ça change.

Interesting analysis of the weird discrepancy between public sentiment and the public vote at #Eurovision last night. Dr Kevin Cunningham, a lecturer in politics at Dublin, talks about "diffuse alternatives" and the amplifying effect of the possibility of voting 20 times, when even a small percentage of the voters are voting entirely based on a single issue.
ahhh, my mistake then!
I have to admit I am quite baffled by the votes given to Israel. I suspect a group of rich supporters maxing out 20 votes per credit card and using different cards to achieve that.
Why we would allow 20 votes per card is beyond my understanding. It used to be 5 votes a few years ago.

What are the benefits of procurement software in a growing business setup?
Are you talking about an ERP system like SAP? If so it’s all about data collection of business operations. Sure you make some no brainer decisions to do things that are practical but it always devolves into “how much did this improve the bottom line?” You start to get data on what business has the highest margins in sales and what products are proving to be a PITA to the bottom line due to customer support eating through labor.
spreadsheets are good but you start hitting walls when the company expands. Suddenly Purchasing managers are making entries to a file, but simultaneously works in production are changing the same file to reflect what they consumed in production. You then start auditing things and don’t know what the QTY row numbers mean. Is that actual inventory? Is that a mix of inventory on order? does this reflect what the production consumed today? if so when?
It gets messy without the right tools when the company scales.
