the life and times of an urban bohemian in the city of the phoenix

Tripping around the web today, I happend upon a post on The Groundswell Blog about New Orleans-based artist Dan Tague’s latest exhibit.
The collection, entitled ‘Cash Rules Everything Around Me’, features denominations of the almighty dollar in a variety of crumpled-up positions that appear meaningless at first glance. But a closer look reveals that the artist has transformed each note into a simple, but poignant statement of artistic protest.
Here are some images from the collection:

That guy is talented. To take something so normal and everyday and tweek it just so, to create a challenging and visually stimulating piece of art shows insight.
I also like how the pieces were printed large. It gives them more impact.
