# Real Life Tweets Artist Ted Mikulski Brings Random Tweets to Life By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweets-in-real-life References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2011/04/18/tweets-in-real-life/) & [tedmikulski](http://tedmikulski.com/tweets.htm) Ted Mikulski is a Connecticut-based artist who gives tweets a physical form in his Tweets in [Real Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ea-sports-fc-27). Tweets in Real Life is filled with random tweets -- that were probably considered nothing special by their authors at their time of creation -- becoming [works of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith), thanks to some clever placement. They say that the world is your canvas. That couldn't be truer in Tweets in Real Life. What I really like about this project is that Mikulski didn't spend a lot of time drawing or painting clever images to match these tweets. Instead he just went outside and taped the tweets to scenes, creating a sensible and occasionally ironic scene.
