I received an email out of the blue alerting me to the latest with Dean Bracy, the artist who started the <a title=\"Previous post on Dean Bracy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/dreamy-getaway-murals\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dollar Project, who I wrote about back in 2009<\/a>. I had asked then if anyone knew more information about the project that he started in 2000, to please let me know. Jim Lovette of <a title=\"The Monarch Watch\" href=\"http:\/\/monarchwatch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Monarch Watch<\/a> came across my initial post and emailed with an update. I&#8217;m so glad he did.<\/p>\n<p>He said Dean stops by the Monarch Watch&#8217;s conservation organization, which tracks monarch butterflies, a few times a year.
