Do you ever wonder what people are thinking about when you pass them on the street?
I made a bunch of thought bubbles out of paper and we hung them around Brooklyn. We waited for people to walk by the bubbles and when they did, I took a picture.
I'm sure people think about love,
food,
and ladies in bikinis ;)
What would you put in your bubble?

You guys rock! My bubble would feature the Eiffel tower and my darling husband. Guess where I'm going Next week... ;) Happpy holidays, Katie!
That's wonderful, have fun Anne!!
You are such an inspiration to make each day positive! I told about you during a book review I gave yesterday to a women's group. I was reviewing Glenn Beck's book The Christmas Sweater which is all about having a second chance to make the choice to be grateful for everything in your life. You were a perfect example of that!

That is so sweet! You just made my day racingyogagirl!

I love checking your blog! I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago and its so much fun-I check every day and sooooo enjoy it!
Inside my thought bubble... Dear friends, trips "home" to the Midwest for Christmas, days off!
This is awesome!
That is a fantiastic idea. I really like the photos. Yesterday I would have to say that I was focusing on not falling. It is very icy this week.
katie, i love your blog! please keep posting! you add sunshine to my rainy days (and not-so-rainy ones too!!).
You're brilliant, Katie! Keep spreading the joy...
This has to be one of the most insane ideas ever... however I totally see me trying it.. :)
What a happy world you live in!
I wanna be in a bubble.......:-))))
I LOVE this! Actually, I pretty much love everything you post on here, you are so creative and manage to pack so much fun into your photography! Your site is my go to whenever I am feeling sad, it totally brightens my day and reminds me to create my own fun moments!
I visit your blog all the time....I just love your fun imagination and creativity!! You have the ability to brighten up any day!! I am going to add you to my blog so everyone can enjoy your wonderul sense of humor and love of life! Thank you so very much!!
In my thought bubble...
should i choose design or communications?
also...just wanted to say that you are super sweet.. i look forward to reading your posts...it brightens my day! keep smiling!
I love this but I have a question: Did you hang up blank bubbles and then add the images to the photos or were the images already on the bubbles you hung up? Either way it's a great project. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks green cat! I tried using real images at first but it was difficult for many reasons so I ended up just hanging up the bubbles and later adding the images in them.
these are fantastic! one of my friends passed by the cupcake a couple days ago and said it was like you were reading his mind.
do you do other street stuff? (i just stumbled upon your blog so i've yet to explore it more). i recently started a blog documenting my love for street art and i'd love to interview you. if you're interested, leave me a comment! i'm at illicitexhibitions.blogspot.com. thanks, katie!
My thought bubble would include cats. Yes, I am a crazy cat-lady, why do you ask?
Hi Katie, I am your new fan! I'd have donuts in my thought bubble as for now. It might change to pizza the day after, or some cute shoes when we're out in the malls.
that was one of the coolest things ever for street art, awesome idea :D
very good idea!
nassau avenue. reminds of me summertime when i got off there everyday.
there's brooklyn pizza in my bubble because i haven't had some in 7 months :(
very inspiring blog. put it in my reader.
greets from vienna.

I love this! In my bubble there would be sea, sun, and all the time in world to do nothing...
I love that idea, there is such poetry in it ! I just discovered your blog and I think I will come back often !
I love the idea! :) I love it!
You make me happy! You make me happy the whole last day! Thank you sooo much! The pictures are so great! I Do want to see more!!!
Cool pictures
really great idea. Who's idea is this? Hats Off to him/her. my fav "ladies in bikinis" ;)
I'm pretty sure I've told you before, but I do love this project! Congrats on your show!
Katie, I have so many interactive ideas and it's lovely to see that you actually pursue them. :-) This impacted me more then most of the art projects I've seen as of late - because its alive. :-) Your art is also original and SOOO refreshing. I look for art all the time....if I found yours on the street, I would have photographed it. It would be interesting to see someone being photographed as they photograph. :-) Anyway - thought bubble is brilliance. I often wonder about people on the train...in fact, I video them sometimes without them noticing b/c I love strangers. My thought bubble: riding a bike with a basket down 10th st in the east village. :-) I think sound is also something that can be visualized - your artwork makes me think of music. Best to you!
I know this is an older post, but one that popped up on another blog today made me come and find it again :) - http://lovelylisting.com/2009/09/beer-haunting-is-the-best-haunting.html
Not as cute as yours, though!
This is awesome....

Dear Katie,
yesterday I descovered you blog. I read everything (a couple of things even twice, haha)
Today I heard from my teacher arts that I have to make an artwork about humor beings, what they think, what invluinces what they think. You know, something like that. It doesn't matter what I want to make, I just have to keep that idea in mind.
So when I heard that, I directly had to think of your work (like your balloons)
You inspire me so much. It's realy nice what you do. It makes me smile.
I also saw the butterflies and the ladybugs your placed everywhere in your street, I like that so much! How nice would it be to cycle to school and descover butterflies and ladybugs everywhere! It would deffinatly make my day!
Katie, I just want to tell you that what you do is great. Go on with what you are doing!
All the best,
Helene (15, Holland)
