FOUND ON GOOGLE IMAGES
Yayah its like a tumblr but its more pure because everything's found doing random searches on google. Its interesting, trust. More to come.

Love your curation and the format, but it badly needs to link to the pages the images were originally found instead of just the Blogspot image. I'd argue you don't need to have any kind of text attribution, just link the image to where it was found like Google does.

When you say "random searches" do you mean truly randomized (is there a random button?), or whatever popped into your head? I would be curious to see what the search terms where, especially if you are getting that page of images all from the same search.

I like how there's no "theme".

nice work, but no rss feed? and is it just that it hasn't been updated in the last day? I'd like to not see the penis-that's-not-a-penis every time I check for an update.

Nice project - it's funny the first page I clicked on brought up a Mark Handforth neon installation.

I just worked with a gallery and him at the start of the summer installing this one.
