Paint-by-numbers guru looks back on craze
Posted on Sat, Jul. 03, 2004
AP Wire | 07/03/2004 |
F.N. D'ALESSIO
Associated Press
"CHICAGO - Long before Elvis's face first hit black velvet, the guardians of all that is good and serious in American art had something else to bewail. This heresy was called paint-by-numbers, and Dan Robbins was its prophet.
...The once-mocked paintings are a hot collectible on eBay, and Robbins, now 79, had the satisfaction of seeing his artworks hanging in the Smithsonian in 2001 and 2002 - even if other people actually filled in the paint."

Pocket bikes zipping into area traffic, but not without a bit of controversy
Record-Journal
By Rachel R. Makwana, Record-Journal staff
"MERIDEN - A new trend is flying out of stores and cruising downtown streets.
They are pocket bikes - miniature versions of motorcycles - powered by small one-cylinder motors. They aren't easily found in local motorcycle or performance shops, mainly because shop owners don't want the liability that comes with them.
EBay, the top online auction site, lists more than 1,900 pocket bikes. Most have attracted multiple bids."
