I stumbled upon my current new favorite artist, Robert Mars, when a co-worker sent me a link about how to create your own books online with blurb.com.  One of the sample books had old road sign art in it.  I was able to make out the name at the bottom of the pages and looked him up.  His collages and mixed media paintings are super cool.  Robert also has one of the best art blogs that I've seen.  Check it out......I haven't been this inspired in a while.
