Art Craving?

There's nothing more satisfying than the democratization of art and design, especially when it comes out of a formerly nic-fit inducing bad-boy like the machine above. Artomat.org refurbishes old cigarette vending machines to sell tiny packages of original artwork for a couple of bucks each. The closest Artomat to Dallas is at the Mercury Design Studio in Austin. I haven't had the chance to pop in, but it's on my agenda the next time I'm headed that way (hopefully soon).
