before i die public art exhibit by candy chang

via design milk

i don't know what it is but i'm on a public art kick right now.  candy chang took an abandoned building in new orleans, painted it with a bunch of chalkboard paint and stenciled the words "before i die i want to ____ "  she then left pieces of chalk for passerby's to fill in the blanks.  i love public art that is truly influenced by the public.

The Laundromat Project brings art supplies to places where people gather... like, say, the laundromat!  Very cool idea.

moo mini cards for anne ruthman photography

If you don't know about Moo yet, check them out.  I especially like their minicards.  With a different image on every card, you don't have to worry about commitment.  Plus, their paper options are great and you get to print on both sides. They have lots of great ideas for how to use minicards on their site (I think I will tweak Kelly's save-the-date idea for my christmas cards next year!) Coincidentally, there is a page on branding that features Nest Pretty Things - go figure, I just blogged about them earlier today!  small (online) world.
