Other Peoples' Desperation Is Not Art

Don't try telling this guy, though. He collects the signs of homeless people.

But in the way the signs crystalize their makers' despair and suffering, they are quite moving, shocking even. They have an effect on you, and good art does that too. So maybe I'm wrong.

I'd definitely pass on it as a collecting interest, though. That's for sure. It may be art, but it doesn't have to be a hobby.
