I don't know about you, but I really like well done graffiti.  I love the temporary-ness of it and the spontaneity, the subterfuge and the subversiveness.  Anyway, walking through the next town over, in the last year or so, I came across this stenciled portrait and underneath were the words, One of a Kind.  In appreciation of it, I made a little bookend homage, pictured below.  Well, no sooner had the glaze on the piece cooled off when I found myself walking around town again and I noticed several more of these "One of a Kind"s stamped on sidewalks.  On further inspection and subsequent research, they turned out to be advertising for someone's start up.  Sadness.  Not only was it not one of a kind, it was some kind of marketing campaign.  Oh well. It caught my eye (original graffiti under my homage):
