Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots: Carve out space for creative and weird souls. Willy Wonka had to build a chocolate factory to house the Oompa Loompas, because they struggled to survive in the wild. And innovators and dreamers often can’t thrive in typical organizations. So he created X, the Moonshot Factory.

In honor of Astro's 50th birthday, his lovely and brilliant wife Danielle Teller asked for people to help scale smiles through creativity and heart. 

So I began painted #SaveTheOompaLoompas on rocks.

And I just kept painting.

We have been placing them in various places along walking paths around Marin in hopes of surprising people and making smiles.

And others have started joining in and adding their own rocks as well. 

If you want to join the fun, please add your photos to insta and tag
