Have you seen Internet photos of 3 dimensional sidewalk art? More than a few of my friends have sent me images of those amazing creations. The artist who creates those masterpieces, Julian Beever, is appearing today (May 16th) in front of the newest New York City Levi’s store in Times Square. You may have seen various pictures of Julian’s work which are ultra-realistic chalk drawings on sidewalks. These three dimensional images transform a regular sidewalk into a work of art. If you’re in the New York City area stop by the new Levi’s Store at 1501 Broadway (corner of 44th and Broadway).

Levi’s sidewalk artwork event with Julian Beever will help kick-off the
Times Square store opening in style as Levi’s open its arms to the city and
people of New York. Consumers visiting Times Square on May 16 will be
invited to become part of Beever’s art by actually posing in the 3D
picture. Visitors will get their photograph taken with Beever’s artwork and
will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see themselves on the “big
screen” as the photos will be displayed on a jumbotron in Times Square.

I still haven’t bought a Mother’s Day gift. I’m pretty sure my Mom won’t be into the fake two headed Holstein Calf plaque idea. But how about if I posted a favorite photo of her on the big screen in Times Square for Mother’s Day? For $69 (less a $25 coupon code) web site Kinemo is offering the opportunity to do just that. Here’s how it works. You upload your own photo and special caption. Pick the time period you want it to run. Put Mom in front of the big TV in Times Square (or use the link below to watch remotely). Bring plenty of tissues, because she’s sure to be touched — that is unless you’ve uploaded a photo of her gambling your inheritance away at Mohegan Sun with the caption “Mom Don’t Gamble My Inheritance”. I wonder if she’ll like this better than the cow head plaque? Use coupon code ‘ojiriwotu‘ for an instant $25 discount from the normal $69 charge bringing your net cost to $44 - the site will even document the event with a free 5×7 photo as well as text message or email you 30 minutes before the photo displays.

Mom’s unforgettable FameSlotâ„¢ costs only $69.00 and includes:

* Mom’s picture and message on the Reuters giant screen for at least 5 seconds
* A 5×7 photo print of the FameSlot, sent directly to you
* A notification to your mobile phone 10 minutes before Mom’s big moment
