Reality Street Painting

A unique way to use a car is like a brush. Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh used eco-friendly paint to create a performance piece in a Berlin intersection. I might be slightly upset that I got paint all over my car, but to see the results as a very interesting way to record our movements would be really cool. I suppose that this would be quite a distraction in any intersection. The German motorists in this video deserve all the credit as they keep things together and don't create an accident.

Picasso Stolen

A thief walked into a San Francisco gallery, took a Picasso drawing off the wall, and then left in a taxi. It sounds like it took the robber as long as it is taking you to read this. Why? I always say this when someone steals art. Why? Don't you just wonder why they felt it was so important to steal a work of art? The worst thing of all is that the robber has ruined it for everyone else. Now nobody will be able to enjoy, appreciate, and learn from that drawing.
