FOUND Magazine

Found Magazine was created by Davy Rothbart and Jason Bitner. It's actually a collection of found notes, photos, and other interesting items, publishing them in an irregularly-issued magazine, in books, and on its Web site. Items found and published have ranged from love letters to homework assignments, and they are contributed by people who find them in a variety of places such as city streets, bus seats, inside school desks, and so on. I really like FOUND, because it's kind of 'alive', like pieces of puzzles, but we only see one piece of each puzzle. You can feel love, fears, tears, anger and so on.

I wish, I were cool


Found by Tyra Melai in Los Angeles, California
'I found this little doodle tucked between Beatles CDs at Amoeba Music on Sunset and Vine and started cracking up!'

I have an idea...


Found by Jeremy Solterbeck in San Francisco, California
'I was walking along Pier 40 behind SBC Park and this was lying on the sidewalk. I like how it's cryptic, and that he is saving the surprise for the phone call.' What kind of idea ?? I am still wondering.

Talk to her !!


Found by Miguel H. Gonzalez in Oak Park, Illinois
'I found this on top of a blue newspaper recycling bin on the CTA Blue Line El stop at Oak Park Avenue. It was a few days before Christmas.' It's so simple. It's like a message from above, from your angel. Actually, I need to talk to her as well.
