Tiny, tiny art

I’m off work today for a “mental health day” and am enjoying sleeping in, reading some stuff on the internet, and will eventually enjoy things like going outside and doing stuff (I am hoping to get a few work-hours-only cancellations in our National Parks Passport Book today).

I followed a link to this site on Wired.com and thought you folks out in the rest of the world would enjoy it if you haven’t seen it yet.

I really love people who go out and just “do art” randomly on the streets of their city and then document it (although I’m not particularly a fan of straight-up graffiti bombers with zero talent) and share it with others. This artist’s work is interesting to me because you could conceivably stumble upon it if you happened to be looking in the right place at the right time. “Hidden in plain sight,” so to speak. And the small stories these mini art works tell are both true and entertaining. Huzzah!
