I know, I know…in my last post I said I was too full to post more today. Thankfully my coma lapsed long enough for me to give OuttaLeftField some long-awaited TLC.

This new design will allow OLF to face the new year in style. I’d love to hear what you have to say- drop me a line.

Uh oh- I feel that food coma coming back. Stay tuned for more post-holiday treats.

I’ve always liked the street art/graffiti aesthetic. From stenciling to characters to lettering, graffiti/street art encompasses some of the most energetic and inspiring works in the art world. Too bad many people don’t consider graffiti part of the art world. If you played word association with 100 random people, I bet at least half would immediately say “vandalism.” A new form of street art emerged which may break that association.

Clean Graffiti, or Reverse Graffiti, creates art by cleaning dirty surfaces. How does this work? Check it out…

Pretty clever. And the Reverse Graffiti Project is sponsored by Green Works (from Clorox)? Wow. Who would’ve thought a cleaning company would help produce a graffiti project? Keep an eye out to see if this is a sales gimmick or future art trend.

I came across this bumper sticker the other day.  What a great message.   Once we go, there isn’t much reason to bury/burn our remains when so many people are waiting on transplants.  99,000!?! Nearly a hundred thousand people praying for a miracle.

It is inspiring to hear stories of people who have donated and the lives they have saved. I encourage you to consider donation- who knows whose lives you might be able to save.

If you have questions about your religion’s views on donation, there is an extensive list you should read. If you decide to become a donor, here’s how you can get started.
