David Horvitz is an artist working in one of my favorite artistic mediums; doing absolutely anything he considers art. The above photograph is from a series where he photographs the sky every day. He will mail you prints for a price, or email you for free.

My favorite work he does is “Things for sale that I will mail you”, where you pay him what it would cost to go somewhere and do something or his choosing, resulting in him mailing you something particular.
