This image by Chee Yang Ong shows that even an artist in Malaysia can pick up on the American zeitgeist. In the year of Occupy Wall Street, redistribution is on everyone’s mind. It’s nice to see that even Robin Hood doesn’t escape the ordeal.
Next week’s theme will be…greener. Greener than money, you say? Greener than Robin Hood? Tune in Monday to find out.

There were so many piggy banks in my inbox this week! Here are 5 - but note that there are two more in the runners-up. Why piggy banks?
This week’s tax theme was tough - more than one person wrote in to say they had had difficulty generating ideas. But many of you found the time to put away your IRS paperwork and send us a few images. Here are 50 of the strongest - numbered for your convenience (not ranked). I’m interested to hear which of these you like best and why. If you’ve submitted for this week’s theme, please feel free to post your art on your personal site now.
