    Hey. I love how the polaroid turned out and thanks for the tip on the film. i’m glad that you enjoyed the machine and your artwork from it. You can check out our permanent machine at altered esthetics in the Q’arma building in NE MPLS anytime. We are also a part of Art-a-Whirl, and will have new in our art vending machines for it. Thanks.

    ooooh, so jealous! I’ve heard about these art vending machines, but never seen one.
    I may have to send you a fiver and let you pick something for me!

    I saw something similar on someone else’s blog. Very cool concept. I like Melinda’s idea of sending you some moolah so we can have ciggie art too!
