I walked past this on the way home and thought it looks familiar. Then I figure out it bears some traces of Mark Rothko’s painting style (hope I won’t offend anyone here). You really should have a look of this painting to get what I mean; and click here if you want to see where I took this photo. It is actually a plumber’s advertisement which says: “unclog drain” and his phone number. Now you only need the area code.
A little abstract
it’s painted on garbage bin? Good position !

May 1st, 2006, at 5:46 pm #LOL - it does look like a modern art painting!
May 1st, 2006, at 6:09 pm #And the phone number might come in handy some day!

i love how everywhere ppl write their contact numbers. i was in a tiny little village about 4 hrs south of HK and these people who were basically living out of small hovels still had cell phones and scrawled their numbers on the front doors. brilliant.

Luggi, I’m just think MR fans may not like to see his works compared with this. Actually, I like his paintings myself, currently there is a MR exhibition in the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
Paradise, you’re right, it might be easier to get a cell phone than a land line phone in some mainland cities.
