aidan's monsters
Five-year-old Aidan was diagnosed with leukemia on September 13, 2010 and had to start chemotherapy almost immediately, but instead of letting the hospital stays get him down he did what he always does for fun:draw monsters.
To help pay his medical bills, his family has opened an Etsy shop where you can purchase some of his drawings, and the situation is really win-win-win: it gives Aidan something to do during his hospital stays, you get awesome artwork for your walls, and the money goes to his adorable family in their time of need.

Dead Drops
‘Dead Drops’ a new project by Berlin based artist Aram Bartholl. ‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. Aram is ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in public space. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your favorite files and data. Each dead drop contains a readme.txt file explaining the project. ‘Dead Drops’ is still in progress, to be continued here and in more cities. Full documentation, movie, map and ‘How to make your own dead drop’ manual coming soon!
Current NYC ‘Dead Drops’ Locations:
87 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (Makerbot)
Empire Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn, NY (Dumbo)
235 Bowery, NY (New Museum)
Union Square, NY (Subway Station 14th St)
540 West 21st Street, NY (Eyebeam)
