Six days ago Blu posted Muto on Vimeo and since then it has been watched a quarter of a million times. Personally, I would love to know more about the process.

This is a great community art project! 

I tied a disposable camera to a bench with a sign that read:

Good afternoon,
I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I’ll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Love, Jay / The Plug

When I retrieved the camera that night, I was happy to find that the entire roll of film had been shot. Below are the photos that were taken.

I was image google-ing NYC maps the other day and I came across this beautiful map of our city.manhattan.png

The blog it’s from, strange maps, has lots of other interesting (yet not as beautiful) content.

Stephan G. Bucher’s book, 100 Days of Monsters, came out this month. His work is fun and surprising. You can watch videos of his monster making process; definitely more fun then youtube. You can get all other sorts of goodies at his Store 344.

Oded Ezra knows how to have fun with type. These are from a series called “Biotypography.” I also love his “Tortured Letters” series; check it out.

A LIRR Conductor demonstrated an innovative and artful practice inspired by his occupation. Very Cute.
