I think I spelled that right. Anyways, there was a man who once took broken down houses in Detroit and started painting on them and making art. He took up about three streets and started making all of this art out of it. I managed to take a few pictures from the car, since you're not allowed to walk around down there unless you live in the house or are invited by a friend. These are the pics: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9252/0824091821.jpg (imageshack) http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1835/0824091821a.jpg (imageshack) http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/143/0824091821b.jpg (imageshack) http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/708/0824091822.jpg (imageshack) http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8080/0824091822a.jpg (imageshack) http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/8525/0824091822b.jpg (imageshack) It's so cool o.o;

It's not that cool from the pictures, but if you saw it IRL you'd love it. They started painting over the dot house though @Above: You'd have to see the whole thing.

Hipster garbage. Literally. It's garbage, as art, on houses. Pretty cool stuff.

Maybe as a whole it'd be art or amazing or whatever, but from those pictures, it looks like he went digging through the dumpster, grabbed some old crap and a glue gun, then went to work on the outside of a broken down shack.

That's basically what it is, but the amount of stuff he used is just amazing. There's about 20 houses decorated and a bunch of empty lots.

I only got to take pictures of the last few houses which were decorated. Most of them are painted. My favorite was the dot house, which was covered in a bunch of different colored dots. They painted it white
