Being something of a closeted artist myself I thought I'd share some of my sources of inspiration. No Raphael, Van Goghs or Picasso's here, rather the kind of Ordinary art we all can afford. 3 Links today - in no particular order: http://www.thriftstoreart.com/, http://www.museumofbadart.org/ and finally this: The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly. Of course there's lots more, but this is only the "link of the day" and I don't want to spoil you.

Not to spoil the surprise, but having perused the preview of the book, treat yourself to the reviews, (Over 100 at last count!) or maybe even write one yourself. More collaborative genius here than can be found in any government. . . Link: www.amazon.com

Now I like Edmonton, I lived there a few years, vibrant arts & cultural scene, good university, I have friends and family there. But on a recent trip I was rather confused by some traffic lights.
Hmmm. Can't see what's wrong with this picture? Try this one:
It's the Peek-A-Boo Traffic light? Can you see it now? Apparently in the rush for progress they forgot that people may want to see the traffic lights and signage. It's not so bad now as it's nighttime, but imagine in the day, merely an empty pole, hidden lights and turning sign. All thats missing is the police car waiting to issue you a ticket around the corner.
