Scary Avocado - Dollar Bill Art is a small-batch gallery of framed dollar bill art.

Over the past 25+ years of my life I have doodled on circulated dollar bills and kept many of them. This is the collection. How did it start? When I was just out of college sharing a studio in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco I took a marker and began to randomly mark up a dollar bill. I was just killing time doing it without thought. I put that bill in my wallet and carried it for a few weeks, always leaving it in my wallet whenever I would buy something with cash. But then one time I was driving across the Bay Bridge and I needed that dollar for bridge toll, so I used it. This was back in the day when people actually sat in booths collecting cash from drivers to cross the bridge going from Oakland to San Francisco. It was about a year later that I was driving back from work going home, and when I drove past the toll booth, I saw what was a very familiar dollar taped on the wall. It was a showpiece for all to see. Yes, it was my dollar with my doodling. Given by an anonymous driver (me!) nearly a year prior. It was this very event that started it. Knowing that somebody out there thought it was cool enough to tape up at their work site, knowing their register count would be short a dollar, was really exciting. So I did another one. I tried to use the next one at a corner food store and they were reluctant to take it, giving me a look as if they did not trust it, and that they would not take it again. Then, I tried to sneak these notes with my doodling in bundles of change when ever cash transactions were done. But over the years I used cash less and less and I just kept the bills, but still continued to draw on them just for fun. I found it to be a form of stress release and expression. Now here I am 25 plus years later and I have a box full of these. I would like them to go to people who want them.
