It's been said that one man's trash is another man's treasure, but what do you call the trash of several people carefully arranged in a plastic cube? Art, of course. Justin Gignac must have been in a serious New York state of mind when he decided to scour the streets for litter, package it, and sell it. Cigarette butts, lottery tickets, and beer bottles are just a few of the wonderful pieces encased in the cubes. The phenomenon started with a $10 cube, but due to overwhelming demand, the site currently sells only a "Gimme-One-Now" cube for $50. Don't worry -- Justin promises to offer the $10 cube again in the not-too-distant future. And he's not exaggerating its popularity -- New York garbage can now be found in 35 states and 17 countries as garbage collections are added to art collections around the globe.

It's said once a person learns to ride a bike, the skill is never forgotten. While the adage may be true, this site proves the bikes themselves are often forgotten. Snapped in and around New York City, these photos show the lonely lives of orphaned bikes left to fend for themselves -- sometimes without a wheel or seat -- on the cold, hard streets of the big city. Some of these bikes have been exposed to the elements for so long they hardly resemble the modes of transportation they once were. The life of an abandoned bike is a forlorn existence, but take solace in the fact that some of them find friends.
