A lovely book to read full of lots of inspiring ideas as to how you can make your mark on your surrounding environment in both artisitic and intellectual terms. A great book to have on the shelf and dip into for fun. Good for presents too.

By Gaius Baltar
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book (which is beautifully produced with a really effective spiral binding- why aren't all books you want to leave open at a page like this) is a set of playful, cheeky and inspiring art projects. They range from the straightforward to the more involved but they all come with clear instructions and they all will make you think. You will pick up this book at a random page, leaf through it and then want to go out and try something as soon as you put the book down. It is quite edgy in that does suggest making public art but it does stress a responsible attitude to working this way.
