David Lynch impersonator und one German rabbit. Ja.

- Fussball / Der Ball ist Rund
Sepp Herberger und globalization?
Above: A poster sketch of mine from old school days. Carbon 60, or Fullerenes, make a strong argument that football is truly a universal phenomena. How else could such a structure so uniquely take form in a small human invention millions of years later?
From a previously posted page: The ball is round. [...] - Warsava Rabbit
Poster spotted in Warsaw, Poland
This just in via Josh Sturm, part of the original G5 (a great group of students in Penn State days), who is now touring the world with his band, Kairos.
