One of my housemates made a collage on the wall of pictures cut from magazines. The material seemed pretty indie in that it had a variety of images, some seemingly unrelated. It was confusing and comfortable at the same time, which doesn't make sense.
Apparently there was a hidden visual artist in there, because her job was technical writing and reporting.
