The Sheep Market
Aaron Koblin paid 10000 people two cents each to draw "a sheep facing left." You can see the results at The Sheep Market.He then printed up all the sheep on sheets of adhesive paper (20 sheep per sheet), which he sold for $20 per sheet. It seems like most of the sheets have sold. So by my calculations, that means he netted a profit of $9800 on this, not counting web hosting, etc. Nice way to make some extra money.
Wired has a video of him discussing his project.

Nothing Boxes
Artist Stefan Bruggemann's "Nothing Boxes" exhibit consists of stacks of boxes with the word "Nothing" written on them. (Or is it "No thin 6"?) Idea: He should team up with The Something Store!

Willoughby Sharp, RIP
The newly deceased artist Willoughby Sharp sounds like a WEIRD UNIVERSE kinda guy. Judge for yourself by the following short film in which he stars.

CasAnus
The CasAnus was designed by the Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout. He writes:If you stayed there, you could say "This place is crap," and not necessarily mean it in a pejorative sense.
Also by van Lieshout, along similar lines, is the BarRectum (aka Asshole Bar):via corporeality.net

Encyclopedia of Strange Things
The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Strange Things, by Boris Servais, is a book you won't find for sale on Amazon. Servais had it "Produced in Italy by a specialized printer for small-size books, it collects odd discoveries and inventions around nostalgic aviation, astronautics, time trips or science fiction warfare." Below is an example of one of the entries. (via Book By Its Cover)
