I Like Drawing™

The name of the site is "I Like Drawing™." And, no, it has nothing to do with sports. But junkyard-wise, it's, like, the essence of it all.

Artist Art Stevenson writes: "I walked the streets one day and as I looked around my mind started to change and an idea was created. From this day on I would see rubbish differently....

"You can take a horse to water but can you take to it into an exhibition? Well now you don't have to worry, just let it wonder down the road and look at my Rubbish Drawings.

"So I've been getting up in the very early hours and with my pens I have been to the outside world and been on an adventure drawing on rubbish...I feel like the urban fox keeping its distance from others in the early hours, you might see something crouching down by a bush but don't be scared it's only me. I am quite nice really and will not harm you but I may draw on your rubbish if that's ok."

Most OK, Mr. Stevenson. An enlighteningly light touch of lightheartedness. Playful. Inviting. Junkly.

Nice one.
Reminds me of Detroit's wonderful Heidelberg Project, by Tyree Guyton: http://www.freep.com/fun/arts/qty5.htm .

I see what you mean. I looked at some of the photos - http://www.freep.com/photos/heidelberg/1.htm - I guess the neat thing about Stevenson's art, in comparison, is how inoffensive it is - just a smiley face on a garbage bag - and how temporary and clearly destined for the trash.
