The first place I went to find art and get ideas was South Coast Plaza. Boy was that a waste of time, everything was so comercial and nothing there fit the bill of what I was looking for. I then began to circle around south coast thinking to myself maybe i can find some blemish outside in the parking lot or parking lot structures that contrasted with the perfect industrialized nature of the Plaza. Nothing. Not a single thing in 2 hours of searching, I actually do not know what I was looking for, maybe graffiti of some kind.
I then drove into a random neighborhood and noticed that maybe I not being simple enough in my definition of art. I then started taking pictures of houses and their landscaping it was amazing the amount of work and effort people put into making their house appear and feel a certain way. They do not do this for other people or to sell anything it is purely for ones own sense of home.
Some people want their house to be reclusive in a forest of sorts, some have their exact idea of what they want the outside to looklike. I drove through this neiborhood and not a single house looked the same as any other. The neigborhood was a tract home community yet so full of orignallity and style I had fun driving from one house to the other. I might be way off base on what you wanted to see, but hopefully I was close.
