My $2 made this possible

There is an ambiguously homeless man who lives on my street. I say "ambigiuously homeless" because I really have no idea if he is homeless or not. He sleeps outside under a canvas sheet, which also shelters all of his belongings; however he sleeps right outside the door to a building and there is some evidence that he has access to this building (e.g. he stores his arts and crafts projects inside). So it's all a bit confusing. Anyway, he has taken ownership of a city tree planter that sits on the sidewalk directly across from his bed, and has planted a little garden in it, and built small benches on either side. It is really quite charming. A few weeks before Halloween I noticed that he had a little donation tin out, soliciting cash so he could vamp up the planter for the holiday. I pitched in $2 and waited anxiously for the October 31 unveiling of this masterpiece. I was not disappointed, as you can see from the photograph. The scary face was hand-drawn on cardboard. There were also two poster-board size paintings of gravestones (not pictured). I took a couple of photographs with the artist's permission, or, more accurately, with his direction - he made me keep taking pictures until he was satisfied with the final shot. I am going to make a print of it for him. Hopefully he will do something for Christmas too, and then I can start a seasonal scrapbook.
