Add

who anonomously use the street as the place to
"http://www.toddmarrone.com/drawings/">distribute their work for free to
those who are most deserving. As a way of explanation, Todd leaves a message
with each peice that includes the following:
WHY ARE YOU LEAVING
YOUR ART ALL OVER THE PLACE?
It is my belief that EVERYONE should be
able to afford and enjoy original artwork. The general public has been excluded
and intimidated by an art world riddled with snobbery and inflated price tags
for too long. Art must be accessible to anyone with a pair of eyeballs, not just
collectors, critics and guys with black turtle necks.
WHAT SHOULD
I DO WITH IT?
The fate of my artwork is literally in your hands, my
hope is that you give it a good home. While these pieces look beautiful framed,
it’s not necessary. Simply hang it somewhere in your living space or work area
where it can be appreciated and enjoyed by yourself and others. In addition to
its aesthetic value, it should make for an interesting conversation piece.

WHAT IF I DON’T WANT IT?
Whatever you do, PLEASE don’t throw
it away or let it end up under a pile of junk in the trunk of your car! I have
invested a lot of time and energy in creating and distributing this work, don’t
allow my efforts to be in vain. If you aren’t interested in displaying the work,
simply leave it where it is or pass it along to someone you think may appreciate
it.
