Always on May, 25th, hitchhiker’s, froods, fans and enthusiasts of Douglas Adams are celebrating the Towel Day by carrying a towel with them.

Towel – Just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. ( Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, chapter 3)

With he countdown running, it’s time to get a wonderful towel as a homage to D. Adams. The DON’T PANIC Towel has great practical value. It keeps warm and you can dry yourself off with it. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. It features in big letters the good advice for all people in the universe: DON’T PANIC.

The countdown for Christmas shopping is running. But DON’T PANIC, the perfect Christmas gift is ready for shipping: The DON’T PANIC Towel

‘A Towel – Just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry.’*

For all hitchhiker’s and fans of Douglas Adams, the author of the ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ we have the right companion for your life, the Universe and Everything. A beautiful bath towel, with the smart advice: DON’T PANIC.

Of course, you can use it just right after you have taken a shower or bath, but there are a lot of more things to do with a lovely towel:

‘Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough’*

Here you can get it: DON’T PANIC Towel Shop

Shipping worldwide – Even Lenin got one.

The street art scene in Istanbul is fascinating. You will find a lot of stuff around the popular and touristic places of the district Beyoğlu and around the Galata Tower. You will find works by C215, Evol, Pixel Pancho and of a lot of locals.
JR was recently in town for pastings of his series ‘Wrinkles of the City. For some of his pieces you will get the best point of view from the ferry boat on the way to Eyüp.
On the asian part of Istanbul you will find especially some great wall paintings which were done for the ‘Mural Istanbul Festival’ in 2014. One example, is the work ‘Ufo Attack’ by Sepex and M-City.

I uploaded 83 photos from Istanbul to my gallery, where you can find more than 1800 photos from all over the world,in my Street Art Collection – Enjoy:)
