On David Horvitz's website he lists lovely things you can buy.
For example:
"If you give me $1,412 I will go to Japan, go to a mountain, find a buddhist monk, and share a cup of tea with him or her. I will mail you something from in or around the temple. I don't know what it is yet, I have to find it there."
"UPDATE: While in Japan I will also learn how to brew the best Japanese green tea. I will study hard and perfect it. I will then make YOU a cup of green tea! You will either have to come to New York, meet me in Japan, or pay for my plane ticket to meet you wherever you are."

China painting factories 07
- In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
