How to create small pieces of art, and leave them for people to find
It made me
happy and anxious
 "This was more challenging for me than I expected."
How I did it: I had a pen that I had selected for this goal many months ago. I kept planning to leave the pen at my favorite coffee shop and they ended up closing before I managed to do this. Well, I found a new coffee shop with wonderful outside seating. (http://purplemooninc.com/ ) On Christmas eve I was sitting outside with my pen and I felt uneasy about just leaving it without knowing it had a chance of finding a home. I was trying to work up the courage to hand it to the woman at the next table without seeming creepy. When she got up to get some more food from inside the shop, I decided that was my chance to leave it for her. I stood pu and tossed it on the newspaper she was reading as I walked out the back. I tried waiting in my car to see her reaction but decided that a) that was not in the spirit of the goal and b) it would bring the creepy factor way up to be spying on someone. I had a small note on the pen wishing the finder a Merry Christmas. I hope she enjoyed the pen and if not, she left it for someone else.
Lessons & tips: This was harder than I expected. I have long felt that I never "sell" my leather artwork, I just have VERY long leases. Just abandoning a piece was scary for me. |

It made me
Happy:)
How I did it: I drew four pictures and taped them to the bottom of some random desks in four of my eight classrooms and then I wrote, "Smile, today's gonna be great!" and things like that on a bunch of sticky notes and posted them on lockers and on the whiteboard and under some more desks. Read how I did it…

This is an ongoing project for me. I’ve created a myspace where I can track my progress, but haven’t sent anything out in a while… I hope to start creating again shortly and sending my creations out into the unknown… we shall see…
Similar to the mix CD goal.

I might make little inspirational cards and leave them around parks, in people’s mail boxes, wherever someone might want to find a pick-me-up. (:

Just finished up this one. It’s a quote by Andy Warhol translated into Portuguese, it reads: I broke something today, and I realized I should break something once a week…to remind me how fragile life is
I didn’t like it very much, I actually intended on adding a Pop Art effect to Warhol’s portrait and them adding many of this portraits, each in a different color, to the bookmark, but the result didn’t please me.
So what I did was write his last name multiple times in different shades of pink and purple and add a few blurring effects to them.
Anyway, I’m leaving it at a nearby restaurant later today.

secret art mission #1 accomplished

It was left at an empty reception desk at a estimating office – or insurance company or something.. I’m not 100% sure what type of business it was, but it looked boring.
This goal is fun.

A receptionist picked at random is going to be getting this tomorrow. I don’t know if I would call it “art”.. it only took 5 minutes to make, but hopefully someone will like it.
yes.

I am all about this goal. I just don’t want to litter. I think I’ll leave them in random, empty reception desks/offices when I make calls on home builders.
Good idea :)
One of my close friends drew all over that concrete thing and it took him two days,no doubt someone will find it :)

I would really like to do this goal on a regular basis, I have started it by making cards and leaving them for people. I sign them, “from someone who thinks you are really special” . one drawback to this, people aren’t really used to getting gifts from unknown admirers and sometimes get worried that they might be stalked. Thinking of how to deal with this and a few more things that I can make.
