Handwriting vs Art
This is a hand written 'ad' about babysitting which i found on the noticeboard. This board has a broken alkalic panel, been vandalised at the bus stop and somehow it is illegal to put up any ads like this without consent from the authorities. It's format is rather more like a piece of note. The language is a mixed of chinese and engish-a little unusual. Even the style is very sincere, very genuine. She even included her (bad) experience of parents cheating on her, not paying her etc thereby demanding a upfront deposit of $300 (cos she's afraid people will 'cheat her')
Just felt her writing is like some scribbles that looked like some abstract graphics from far :p

Ah, I'd classify it as a form of folk art. You have a good eye for the unusual yet commonplace. Nice!
Fantastic find! (And if I may say so, it's nice to know you can have not-so-great handwriting and still use it as part of artwork.)
