Zach Galifianakis: "I do a lot of tagging on the weekends. I come from a long line of taggers. My great-great-grandaddy was the first tagger to tag the Parthenon. Back then, there was no spray paint so he used a mixture of goats milk and ox blood. I use the traditional spray of paint that I get at a store called "Large Cans." It used to be strip joint but they kept the name and just started spray paint instead. Seth caught me tagging up one afternoon and asked if he could snap my photo. I first asked if he was a cop. He said no. I told him I was. Then spray-painted him a glass of orange juice. We both enjoyed it. His pictures bring out the kindness in me." Courtesy Seth Olenick

Hannibal Buress: "Ducks mean a lot in American society. How did ducks become the premiere bird to rubberize and have in the tub with you as you bathe? Why wasn't I afforded the opportunity to bathe with rubber bald eagles or rubber flamingos? This picture shows how ducks have become very arrogant, I tried to give the duck bread, and it didn't want to take it. It made me sad, but I got over it. Seth captured that moment."
