Dollar Bill Art Is So Money

August 3rd, 2008 by eric

About a year ago I started handing out dollar bills to people that worked for me, and I asked them to do whatever they wanted with the dollar as long as I could laminate it when finished.  Once laminated, I want to buy the large Zettel Chandelier and use the dollars there.  The project is a nice way to remember all the creative talent I have working for me.

We just finished a pitch recently where we used dollar bills as the canvas for the clients marketing message, and that got me thinking about scanning and posting these.  Enjoy!

Could be hard to laminate, but what else do you expect from a handbag lover.

Harder than it looks.  Some serious time and patience!

    Great concept. I like the idea of collecting memories this way. I wish I would have thought of it.

    I like the handbag. Some others are cool. Most are junk. Some express a lot of hate. To bad. Life is to short to hate that much.
