Resurrect Dead: The Mystery Of The Toynbee Tiles
The artist responsible for the Toyenbee Tiles is unknown...and probably a few cents short of a buck...judging by the rantings I've personally seen on scores of tiles glued to streets across the US. To a small group of people, it was far more a mystery, enough so that a documentary film was created and ran all the way to the Sundance Film Festival. Now, I am intrigued enough to send a 'friend request' to the crew at Resurrect Dead and drop this indie flick into my Netflix queue!

Cut & Paste: 21st Century Collage
"In the digital age, the original meaning of cut and paste has been replaced with a few clicks of a mouse, This has led to a lot of derivative and unimaginative computer produced work. In response to this, artists have returned to using more traditional methods of making images. There has been a resurgence of drawing and illustration and collage has recently been rediscovered. Collage is the natural progression of illustration, as it combines drawing with the other mediums..."
