My sense of humor is pretty eclectic. I laugh equally as hard at observational humor about society, offensive jokes, graphic sex comedy, and dumb puns. I really love puns, though. They’re so silly, and I love the groan that people produce when they hear really ridiculous wordplay. Let’s just say, if you don’t like puns you shouldn’t ask me to go with you to the zoo because about eighty percent of what I say will be pun-related.
I decided to join my two interests of street art and puns to make really silly (and simple) installations in public that would make people laugh, groan, or snap a picture to annoy their friends with. Oh yes, I had a vision.
These are all easy installations that you could create yourself! I didn’t spend more than $6 getting the supplies I needed for this stuff. Thrift store, baby! I’ve laid out the supplies I used at the bottom of the post, in case you’re curious!
