   YES! I looove it! Makes me think about a group of Hungarian artists who started painting all the old chewinggums on the street outside a cinema – in pink! You sure noticed the chewinggums after that! Unfortunately I do not have neither name nor link for that project…

   I did a little lego working todat as well for my interpretations for the scavenger project (it’s in the flickr group if you’re curious)

   Good gravy, this is fabulous. I love the little shots of color peaking out…you’d definitely have to look twice. It reminds me of a group (I read about this somewhere) of rogue crochet aficionados who went around crocheting lamp posts and what not as their personal form of graffiti.

    Wouldn’t it be fun if everything could be patched with legos? Like colorful duct tape.

    Italy needs a whole lot of Lego! Urban decay has never been so much fun. Love the knit bricks too, kind of makes me want to hug them. Hmm.
