Project 05

Calling all captionators! LAB needs your help. Here’s the story: we acquired this painting for $3 at a garage sale with the intent of filling in the blank bubble. We hung it on the wall with, we admit, more than a pinch of irony. But after staring at it for the last six months, we’ve come to really, really like it, in a perversely sincere (and somewhat mystifying) way. So it has, alas, remained blank. Got an idea for putting the thought back into the bubble? Post it in the comments section of the photo on flickr, and we’ll include the captions in a future issue.
