“Dutch artist Redmer Hoekstra is an illustrator of surreal images combining animals and various inanimate objects. Many of these juxtapositions are clever… While some are whimsical others are downright disturbing…”

Arturo’s
“In a city where countless high-end pizza joints tout their wood-burning ovens and artisanal toppings, Arturo’s remains the same as it ever was. Worn leatherette booths in the crowded front dining rooms, long waits on weekend evenings, and jovial service separate Arturo’s from the posh spots across the street in Soho. Sidewalk seating gives you breathing space, but the tradeoff is that you can’t hear the live jazz played nightly. Here the coal-oven pizza’s the thing. Fresh mozzarella is satiny on a 16″ pizza, and the lightly charred edges of the crunchy crust are pleasantly salty.”

“1965 was same year that inventor Leo Fender — who’d revolutionized the way the world heard and played popular music with his groundbreaking electric guitar and amplifier designs in the 1940s and 1950s — sold his world-famous instrument company to CBS. It was also the year that Bob Dylan would pick up a solid-body Fender guitar and send shock-waves through pop culture with his own newly-electrified sound. In December 1965, Dylan, his sunglasses resting atop a Fender Band Master amp, ran through some runs on a well-worn Fender bass guitar for a Don Hunstein photo-shoot at the Columbia Recording Studios.”
The pictures were also used in a promotional campaign for Fender in the mid-1960s:

“In the 1968 Fender catalog there is a photo of Bob Dylan playing a Jazz Bass. The bass is unusual in that the rear edge of the bridge cover plate is at a slant, sort of parallel to the rear edge of the bass. I’ve never seen another Jazz Bass with this shape bridge plate.”
