But wha...? I mean, who...? I don't even know where to begin with this. I found this in the closet. It's made of that funky plastic billboard material, carefully hand-mounted on a frame. And what you can't see from the photo is that it's low res and pixellated. I'm pretty much made speechless by the combination of it's uglitude and the obvious care which someone took putting it together by hand. I would make something from it (a bag or wallet or whatever), but it's too ugly even for that. We found it right after we moved in along with some other (pretty decent) framed prints. It's been hanging around the apartment since then. But I just can't throw it out -- it's so ugly that it's back to being sort of oddly sweet. And it makes me wonder all these things about the previous tenants: what adult would by choice hang this little gem on the walls of their apartment? If it was a gift they hated, then why does it clearly have wear on the top? And if it was loved and used, why didn't they take it with them? Maybe it needs to go back in the closet as a surprise for the next tenants, so they can be all intrigued about us...

My vote would be to put it in the closet. Pass on the curious fun! Plus, I'm such a pack-rat; I have a tough time throwing much of anything out.
