1. FoundMagazine.com. Users submit random notes they found behind dumpsters, in classrooms and on busses. Some are funny, some are weird and some are just downright scary... like this one one, discovered on a sidewalk, that says "Stay away from me and I'll not follow through with my plan of psycho-ness."
2. The Willard Suitcase Exhibit Online. Yeah, it's kind of creepy... but I found it pretty interesting. When the Willard Psychiatric center closed, workers happened upon the suitcases left by past residents. A portable exhibit (as well as a book) was created to display both the contents of the suitcases and the personal stories of the people to which they belonged. It gives a personal touch to people deemed "crazy" and creates awareness about mental illness.
3. Olan Mills Finest. And finally, for a good laugh, check out this compilation of pictures taken by Olan Mills Photography. A hodgepodge of awkward, cheesy and somewhat uncomfortable snapshots, it will make you feel better about your freshman year photo.
Have a great weekend! Don't forget to spoil your mom on Sunday!

Hi There. I am a full time professional artist. I have worked for many years as a jewelry designer. I love Chicago. I have had my designs in the catalog of the art institute of Chicago for many yrs. I have also worked with most of the art museums in the US. I am sitting in a $100,000 computer lab in Lawrence, KS getting ready to "teach" a class to other artists, some live in remote locations in small towns outside of KC and only have dial up or choose not to have a computer at home. I am not savy with this stuff, but I felt it was important for my students to have their work up on the net. This is really out of my element, but I have spent the last two months working on figuring this out so I can teach them how it all works. My mistake. smile. You are one of my followers. I am teaching this on WED of this week and want to figure out how to connect with someone who has tapped into our blog. You are just the person I was hoping to have find us. I only just uploaded all their work. I am still in the process of uploading mine. I have had a hard time figuring out how to send a comment and how to get someone to send a comment back to me. If you are there, and find this comment, can you tell me how to accomplish this? I am not sure this is your comment pg. My email is tjspencer@insightbb.com I will be working on this tomorrow in the afternoon. I also take wonderful photos and if you or your company ever needs a professional artist for anything we can discuss this. Thank you for your time and I think you are doing great as a graphics person and at having a real job. Good for you. I look forward to hearing from you. Where is your office. Is it close to the art museum?
