Apparently, being homeless these days does not necessarily correlate with being nobody, money-less, and far from the worlds of social and economic exchange, including the artistic/creative world.

Just look at Mr. Roger Greenlee a.k.a. "The Preacher" a.k.a. "Man of Taste" (voted by the NY Post), who was being sued last week by the owner of an artsy antique store for $1 million for his "fragrant vagran[cy]" in front of the fore-mentioned shop. And when being asked of his reaction to the pending suit, he said he was "not worried" and "absolutely not angry".
Wish we knew earlier he had that much $$ in his pockets.

Another example.

The Homeless Museum, also currently home(gallery)less in NYC, has been producing and selling arts and crafts to friends, family, and strangers. They also offer HoMu membership (Patron Circle for ONLY $150! Hello?!) benefiting a homeless of your choice.
We believe HoMu should be placed in the same quadrant with Momofuku Ando's ramen invention (x=genious y= lowbrow) if they could really invent a brilliant something (product or intervention) that homeless all around the world can't live without.
"$100 HoMu cigarettes, dude? How 'bout some HoMu paint? I'd have it with HoMu-made soup myself!"
Surely a very entrepreneurial artsipan, though. They should definitely pay Mr. Greenlee a business visit at his 833 Madison Ave. heated pad for possible future collaborations.
