Justin Time for a Field Trip
The proprietor of This Justin details a road trip to visit the huge fake Egypt erected for Cecil B. DeMille’s 1923 version of The Ten Commandments. What hasn’t been reduced to shards of broken plaster is now buried under a sand dune located 100 miles north of Los Angeles. And the site is likely to stay that way for awhile, since it’s now an endagered bird habitat. Stuff like that is so fascinating.
Oh, and Justin also writes on one of our faves, Charles Harper. The artist has lent his talents to a new line of skateboards and La-Z-Boy fabrics. Good to know that he’s still around to enjoy (and take advantage of) his resurgence.
