A great new site recently featured in the New York Times: The website allows anyone to collectively draw a single picture-each person can draw one line about an inch long. After that you can vote on the opacity of other lines that already exist in the drawings. A new drawing is posted on a weekly basis and some pretty surprising images emerge considering the amount of people that create the work and the length of the line. Collective consciousness. Its a lot of fun.
\nOther than that I’m working on a new project now that my show is done: The noble planting of street trees in Manhattan. More on this later maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
