Collect it, box it, sell it. This man turns run-of-the-mill trash from the streets of NYC into artwork and sells it anywhere from $10-$100.

So here’s the thing: over the weekend I decided I wanted to brew iced tea; however, I lacked the spiffy type of glass jug that my mother and grandmother would use and set out in the sun to do their brewing. I’m sort of nostalgic about these sorts of things, so I wanted to do it similarly. I thought about it for a while.

Being a college student and having one of those odd tendencies to save bottles I thought they’d be perfect to use. Now, I’m by no means someone who makes an effort to go green or recycle, but this seemed to turn out well for my pseudo-green efforts–because not only are these bottles recycled but several of them are wine bottles from Oliver Winery located only 30 minutes or so from my home. Yes, I’m recycling and keeping it local and utilizing an effective means for storing iced tea without having to go buy some jug when I have already bought multiple similar containers. And the tea tastes just fine.

It’s great how artists always seem to find everyday objects and recognize them as something else…then make it possible for others to see that. I’m fairly certain that this Lego person face is painted on one of those concrete security posts. Those things always need some sort of jazzing up.

UNDER MY UMBRELLA: Pedestrians made their way through New York’s Times Square in the rain on Monday.

There are so many balanced aspects of this picture–lines, circles, colors. Love it.

This photograph does a great job of creating a balance of shape with vivid color using “zoom” or motion.

I just noticed how oddly shaped this path/grass area is on the Ball State University campus Muncie, Indiana. Fixed bike rack, hydrant, water shut-off valve, lamps.
