Be the art you seek to find in the world! Or, barring that, be a good sport and try some of our wacky art actions. Looking stupid in public is good for you. Really.

Photo Can

How to make a can into a photo frame. I kind of like the idea of using photos as can/jar labels when you give gifts. Nice.

Who did the following: a contemporary artist, a preschooler or an elephant?

Intend to blend

Today's art action takes its inspiration from a German college student who dressed up as a Terra Cotta Warrior in China and "hid out" amongst the life-size statuary. The full story is here.

What lengths will you go to, and how do you intend to blend today? Will you borrow a friend's toddler, dress the part of a frazzled mom and go to Gymboree? Will you don a black beret and washed out black turtleneck and hit the literary aisle of a musty, second-hand bookstore?

Report back in the comments section.

Inspiration taken from the next sheet famous writers would have used.

Make something good

Here's an inspiring art story about a guy who turns old guns into guitars in Columbia.

Banksy

Here's the latest by graffiti artist and art guerrilla Bansky, in which he swapped out Paris Hilton CDs in the UK...with his own. His included tracks like "Why am I famous?" Nice.

This reminds me a bit of the BLO (Barbie Liberation Organization) in which people switched the voice boxes of the talking GI Joe and Barbie so Joe said things like "Math is hard!" and "Let's go shopping" and Barbie wanted to go to war and blow things up.
