...OK, maybe not cool, but this art project takes the sting away from seeing a telltale envelope stuck under your wiper blades. The Parking Ticket Emotional Reclamation Project (PTERP) writes a little note explaining the project on one side of a card that fits neatly into New York City parking ticket envelopes, then asks kids, artists and random people to draw something on the other side. PTERP's people then scour the city looking for cars that have received a ticket and place the art in the envelope with it, hoping that the good of the art will balance out the bad of the ticket.
