Thinking about the idea of non-property-damaging guerilla art reminded me of a public art project I thought up several years ago --Mirrot Cards (pronounced "Mir-ROW", the name is meant to remind you both of "mirror" and "tarot").
The basic idea is this --each participant creates a private deck of 12 playing card sized images. The images each need to come from your own private iconography --ideally from one of your own dreams or nightmares. The images are not signed or identified in any way, and should be created at the size they will be reproduced at. The ideas can be old, but the actual image itself should be newly created for the project.
Then you duplicate your images to create several decks of these cards and then leave them in public places --again without identifying marks (including website or email addresses or anything like this).
When I first came up with the idea, we never did too much of the distribution, but a number of people made the decks, and most of them said it was a really great experience --for one participant it even inspired a whole new series of full-sized paintings.
I thought it might be a fun thing some of the people on here might like to try. The basic idea is that you're being freely generous with some of the most personal parts of yourself, sending them out into the world without knowing where they will end up, or expecting anything back.
