Does anyone else see a creepy face? HIDDEN CREEPY FACE POPTPOP



Featured here! now! and smoking! is the Rob Culpepper, being photographed by the legendary Alan Barton!

Featuring for the first time ever on film*, two kids playing fake soccer in the background. Thank YOU Rushton park!

*this is possibly true, what with living in the digital age and all, though, i cannot verify the veracity of this claim (that i, myself, am making)

IT IS CONTEST TIME AGAIN!

Hidden somewhere in this photo is a creepy face! I didn't hide it...it just exists by itself. FIRST PERSON TO POINT IT OUT WINS A MILLION!

of something. Possibly more arbitrary points, POSSIBLY A PRINT OF THE POPTPOP OF THEIR CHOICE?

You'll have to enter the damn contest to find out! Comment to give it a go.

Once a winner has been crowned, I'll post a zoomy-iny thing and possibly one with an illustrated bob ross to solidify what I see.


[ed]

Well hot damn! Only moments after this PoPtPoP was posted (on facebook and here), we had a winner!

Ashley Moynihan! All the way from the pacific coast!

As promised, here is a ghetto illustration of where this little smoke martian is.

The illusive IMAGINARY VERSUS poptpop



So what you see here, ladies and gentlemen!, is the illusive African Imaginary PoptpoP. Seen in the while in Uganda, this kid is mimicking me taking his photo. I have no idea what he is holding but its not a camera. Another example how kids' imaginations are the best thing since torn bread.

Here is a detail of Imaginary Versus Kid (IVK):





Don't forget to send in your shots! I'm working on new stuff with the great news of that being that I am working in conjunction with The Inkling Network's Jamie and Tammy Harper to create a really freaking weird world. The magical world of Poptpop. I don't know when it will all be ready, but I have the highest of hopes. When it is all done there will be a place for you all to upload your images so you can do everything from one place!

Cheers for now

Happy X-mas Chapati Stand in Jinja, Uganda POPTPOP!



A PoptpoP revolution is on the way! Prepare!

Until then, here is what I consider a pretty awesome poptpop. I'll tell you why:


  • It's in friggen Africa

  • It's at a friggen Chapati stand

  • That lens she's using friggen ridiculous and friggen long

  • That jumpsuit is friggen sweet

  • THE NAME OF THE CHAPATI STAND...is friggen...HAPPY X-MAS (the bujagali chapati stand)



A chapati, for your knowledge, is a flatbread (like a super thick, doughy crêpe, at least in size, and the fact that they have Nutella as an option), on which is placed all manner of delicious things. The one I ate every time was Chapati, Egg, Tomatoes, Cabbage, and topped off with Avocada....then it is rolled up and wrapped in like newspaper. At least out at Bujagali Falls.

This place was right outside of where I stayed in Bujagali (which is right outside of Jinja) and it was right on the Nile. Here is a picture from a few hundred meters from this place: (shot is over at Electric Lion).


So how's it going everyone? Lemme know! Send me your POPTPOPs TOO! (a better way to do that is coming, but for now EMAIL THEM TO ME.
