Spelling Change just emailed me about their new project involving Obama-inspired letters, Obama supporters wearing letter T-shrits, and the fun way you can put them together. (The about page explains it best, actually.)

The site allows you to write Obama-related phrases (or anything you choose) using their fun politically-inspired alphabet (or make your own letters!), then you can embedd it on your webpage or purchase a T-shirt, sticker, poster, or postcard with the word you’ve created.

Fun!

The above Exploding Dog drawing along with this “Safe Return Doubtful” drawing are both relevant to me at the moment. I am sure you can find something relevant to your life at Exploding Dog, since the artist makes drawings pretty much everyday. And if you can’t, you can email him a potential title. That is how he gets his ideas (which is why I am filing this under “public art”)!

(Reminds me of the collection of Street Writing photos.)

Blogger Rachelle B has taken it upon herself to photograph “street writing” in NYC & Chicago. Check out her pics (which all feature her shoes, the bottom of her coats, and sometimes what I assume is her ipod headphone cord or the camera string). (more…)

Yay for public projects, revealing secrets, hearts pouring over, and letting everyone expose their inner-artist! 1000 Journals is a kind of Public Art Project reminiscent of the ever-popular Postsecret (in the anonymous-traveling-art sense). Here’s what happened: a(n obviously creative) man let 100 empty journals loose on bars, cafes, friends, and family. They were sent out in the world to be filled with words and art for whoever found them — instructions called for the journal to be passed on and then returned to the man who started them. (more…)
