Just Like Being There
I watched this documentary on the weekend and while watching it I almost wanted to pause it, get up, grab a pen and paper and start doodling. I was so captivated by it, that I honestly couldn't be pulled away from it. I don't know, maybe I'm weird, but Just Like Being There was to me what Never Say Never (Justin Bieber's documentary, of course) was to 12 year old girls. It was incredibly inspirational and I hope I didn't hype it up too much and you're going to be all "the book was better than the movie" (there was no book). If you haven't watched it yet, obviously, I recommend that you do. It's on Netflix. It's a good idea.

Mosiac Man
Jim Power (The Mosiac Man) started creating his mosaics on light poles in New York's East Village in 1985. Despite being discouraged when the city removed 50 of his 80 mosaic works, he remains diligent in his efforts to rebuild every last one of them.
He has also created an indiegogo campaign to raise funds to rebuild The Legendary Mosaic Trail.
