Change In Plans

Big change in plans today. My business trip was canceled only a few hours before I left for the airport. So, instead of leaving my art in airports and around Sacramento, I'll be leaving these people around the St. Louis area this weekend. I left one tonight at Cugino's -- an Italian restaurant on Lindberg. I left one of the leaf pieces on the counter next to the take-out menus. And, BTW, I had a DELICIOUS dinner! I highly recommend this restaurant.

From St. Louis to Sacramento

I'm leaving on a trip to Sacramento, CA tomorrow. I made some cards tonight to leave along my way. I'll leave some in the St. Louis airport, some on airplanes, and some in several locations in Sacramento. I'll probably leave my art in the airport and in downtown locations near the Capitol building in Sacramento. If you happen to be in these areas from Thursday through Saturday, here's what you can look for.







The first image was made using a photo by Tom Hawk. He uses a Creative Commons copyright that allows people to use his images as long as you attribute the image back to him.

The second two images were made from a spread I did in a sketchbook. I cropped out the part I wanted to use to make Found Art. With one I added words over the top in Photoshop.

I hope whomever finds these images enjoys them and has a little bit brighter day knowing this art was made just for them.

Just the Beginning

Found Art is encouraging its members to create blogs here to track the art that they leave as part of the Found Art project. Here I will post pictures of the art I create to give away. I'll also post about where art is left and the experiences I have in posting my art.

What is Found Art? Read more about it here! But to give you a basic idea, here's the Found Art mission statement.

Found Art! strives to make the world a better place right now by empowering people across to globe to share on a soul level. This sharing is done by leaving pieces of art in random places throughout the community. We believe in the power of art to communicate and heal. We believe all people are creative and that the expression of that creativity opens the heart of both the creator and the receiver. Open hearts communicate at a deeper level, are naturally more compassionate, and are more aware and concerned about our global family.
