I wish I could be in Los Angeles right now if only to catch the Post-It Show 6--and perhaps a little sunshine. A unique art show, it features over 2000 works, all using Post-It notes as tiny canvases.
Held at the Giant Robot 2 Gallery, the Post-It Show 6 was curated by artists Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson. Running until Jan. 12, 2011, the artwork is selling for as little as $20 a pop. If you're in the area, these one-of-a-kind pieces would make great, affordable Christmas gifts.
