Ha! I have been noticing that bird thing for a while but was trying to be polite about it. The bird is usually combined with dripping paint in some fashion. And occasionally music notations of some kind. And scribbles, or leaves.
Put A Bird on It constitutes the entire artistic oeuvre of some relatively successful artists/crafters. I'm always mystified. They're all like, "Don't you get it? It's a bird?!", and I'm all like, "uh huh, yeah, there it is". And then everyone buys the %^&*! out of it like it's Guernica or something.
Luckily, most of my paintings are just stripes, so I don't have a problem with people misinterpreting them OR buying them :)
ETA: just checked, and Guernica does not have a bird on it. So much for Picasso. It does have a horse in it, though, which is close enough for government work.

Portland on NPR this morning:
Oregon is one of only a dozen states where the majority of its residents aren't from there. Each year thousands of 20-somethings move to Portland.
Portland has scooped up 20-somethings from shrinking cities in the Northeast and the Midwest. It gets the kids who dream of being in a rock band. But the city has also drawn well-educated young professionals
"Talent is becoming more concentrated in some cities and moving away from other cities," says Joe Cortright, an economist standing in the rain at the food cart.
Twenty years ago, the percent of people with college degrees in Portland was lower than the national average. Now, it's more than 10 points higher  about 40 percent. And Cortright says the grads aren't just coming for high-tech jobs.

Apparently the show is doing very well for IFC and has already been picked up for a second season.

I've never been to Portland, but according to this show it's basically every annoying type of person in every major city x10,000. ;)
