In art school, I kept all my receipts for art supplies for several years in folders and boxes, thinking I would do something with them one day. Turn them into an art piece, attach them into a long paper trail documenting my consumption. Something. I love Kate Bingaman-Burt‘s solution: “I draw something that I purchase everyday. I also draw my credit card statements.” You can see her drawings at her Flickr collection or at her blog, Obsessive Consumption.

"Drivers hustling to the city’s bustling North Beach neighborhood through the Broadway Tunnel Tuesday got a pleasant surprise—etched into the grimy walls lining the roadway was a tranquil urban forest. The unique mural was created by British-based artist Paul “Moose” Curtis using a technique called reverse graffiti or clean tagging. With the aid of San Francisco police and public works officials, Curtis spent the night blasting away at the years of grime with a high-powered water cannon.” You can see more photos here by Flickr user, dennis.

As someone who once collected trash as art, and has an affinity for putting things into clear plastic containers, I loved Justin Gignac’s idea to sell cubes of New York city trash. Writes Justin: “I sell garbage. I scour New York City streets picking up trash. After filling bags with subway passes, Broadway tickets, and other NYC junk, I carefully arrange plastic cubes full of the stuff. Each box is unique and won’t leak or smell.” You can buy your own cube for $50 with free shipping anywhere. [via jamesyu at twitter]
