Works on Whatever

On the blurry mental spreadsheet that is my monthly budget "Julian Schnabel beach towel" doesn't exactly take cell A-1, but maybe it should?
Lindsay introduced me to Works on Whatever, an organization that brings contemporary art to the masses via everyday objects. Wish I'd known about these trees during my tweaked Tim Burton Xmas moment. And if Schnabel's not your style who wouldn't love bringing Sid Vicious to the beach?

Elizabeth Peyton is a genius and 50 bucks isn't all that steep compared to Hermes or even Bed Bath and Beyond. Any decent white bath towel costs $25! Plus WoW supports civic art -- a worthy cause and personal one, considering I'll probably end up painting courthouse murals under Obama's new WPA if the economy doesn't turn around.

  1. Very cool-I checked out the Pillow Talk cases that are too fun. You might have to come here to D.C. You would love it-the economy is much better here-we are a company town after all-fairly recession proof!

  4. Oh my gah! I saw the pillow cases on another blog last week and wigged a little. The pairings are truly inspired and sometimes cheeky. Great post, Nick! Have a good week!
