Sign of the Times
Here’s an interesting post — created by being out of work — the blog The ART of out of work. I think the design is very creative. What’s that idiom, “Necessity is the mother of invention?” In this case, I would say that the situation presented a creative opportunity for this blogger and I hope it brings them success!

It’s interesting to me to see the public’s interactive involvement in this creative process.
