RE: What Is Something You Collect?
I collect foreign money and have bills from all 6 inhabited continents . It all started one day when a good friend of mine from Romania showed me some of their money and I thought it looked awesome because it had see through symbols on them. So he gave me 2 bills and I hung them one my wall. I was working at Ghirardelli and every summer we would get people from dozens of different countries that would work for 3 months and then go home. So when I would invite these people over they seen my money hanging and damn near every one pulled some foreign bills out of there pocket to add to my collection. Next thing I knew I add over hundred foreign bills. That's when I decided to make some art with it(photo below) I even have some money that is no longer printed ; ) from India and other places. I plan on making more art as I have more bills :)
The photo below is my interpretation of world peace. ~TT
Okay now THAT'S a super cool story!!!!!!! I used to collect foreign money, too! But there's no cool story like that sooo maybe I need to start over haha. I also love $$ with see-through symbols. My first see-through symbol money was from Nicaragua. Malaysia has a pretty one too! Well, you probably know this lol.
I love love love that you made art with it! And a peace sign! That's so cool!
Thanks. It is my favorite piece of art that I have done
I think that's a great piece. Telling every viewer the real reason for world unrest.
Haha I'm glad you understand it! I am going to make a yin yang out of my other foreign cash! And then an anarchy symbol from all american 2 dollar bills!
