I just finished reading Good Mail Day about making postal art, and am totally inspired to get more creative with my cards and letters. Gifts One of the best gifts you can give is the gift of time together , but there are also lots of places to purchase lovely gifts made by artists and artisans. Cards Make your own!

The "Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images" exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art manages to both celebrate and betray fair use at the same time. These are canonical fair uses -- an artist who takes from another artist and uses his work to make new work.

Last year, I met Mark Allen, the founder of Machine Project , an extremely cool "post-educational" space in Los Angeles that is part art gallery, part workshop space, part mad scientist party central. This is the model that governs most businesses and artistic endeavors. They're made to plod along. Then they die.

I know I feel that way about the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles; I feel a bit of pride every time I usher a skeptical friend through the non-descript storefront and into a world of strange wonder. In fact, I'd argue that the value of exclusive experiences is increasing and diversifying.

We're taking the art of freelancing for writers, and making it much more transparent and much more public. And it'll probably be to Southern California, Los Angeles, next. We'll always keep a local focus, but hopefully soon we'll be local to Los Angeles as well. Actually, the art analogy isn't that far off.

And an art gallery. In a less structured way, Brooklyn Museum of Art director Arnold Lehman realized that people from the neighborhood were making use of the lit outdoor space in front of the museum entrance at night as a gathering space. Is it okay for people to express themselves artistically or musically in the galleries?
