About Me


We're the motley crew of eagle-eyed paper-picker-uppers responsible for FOUND Magazine, FOUND Books I and II, the FOUND Polaroids book, FOUND's smutty sister mag DIRTY FOUND, and various other sundries guaranteed to make you titter, chortle, snigger, and/or guffaw.
We collect found stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles -- anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes.
We certainly didn't invent the idea of found stuff being cool. Every time we visit our friends in other towns, someone's always got some kind of unbelievable discovered note or photo on their fridge. We decided to make a bunch of projects so that everyone can check out all the strange, hilarious and heartbreaking things people have picked up and passed our way.
