Brad Pitt's 'Make It Right' houses in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward to include two-family models~Doug MacCash
~He invited architects far and wide to contribute designs for affordable, ecologically sound, storm-safe and aesthetically advanced family homes. And, after putting down over $5 Million of his own seed-money, he convinced tens of thousands of altruistic donors to help pay for the project.
If all goes as planned, displaced families will eventually occupy 150 Pitt-built homes.

~Tom Johansmeyer
~When times are tough, you don't spend when you don't have to. There's sufficient graffiti in London to keep art collectors entertained, which is causing them to shy away from works by Banksy.
Larger auction houses have cut down on the Banksy works they are carrying, and some of the regional auction houses are canceling their urban art specialist sales.
