Street Art

Museums and auction houses don't have a monopoly on interesting art. As you will see in Pavement Art, a slide show from The Telegraph, sources of visual stimulation maybe found lying on the floor or sidewalk.

The slide show rates mention here because one of the works, detail at right, was created for The Money Store (cheque cashing and payday loans). The coins and bag are painted; the gilded girl is real.

Update
Who wouldn't want an investment manager who keeps them out of trouble when the going gets rough and stormy? Nobody. That's why lighthouses so often figure prominently in the advertising of financial institutions. While you're visiting the Telegraph slide shows, stop to admire Gary Martin's terrific set of photos, The Lighthouses of Michigan.
