Looks like it got hugged to death :(

  I got in to see it, basically you dump some string of text to this api with your api keys and how much you want to pay for the painting and then once the artist confirms that you want to buy the painting they make it and presumably ship it to you.

    It's back up now, billing got switched about somehow. GAE quota usage is showing green across the board, but it's still 503'ing on me. Appears to be intermittent, just keep trying I'm monkeying about over here. Text, Images, Resources, Whatever. It's a wrapper for turning arbitrary ideas/messages/fragments/code/etc into oil paints. The works are shipped out after drying to any specifications.

  For the benefit of those who see the article but can't reach the site, I think one of the interesting parts of the project is the artist's statement about how the idea was sparked by interacting with friends in technical fields who don't have any art on their walls and are sort of caught between not wanting to buy cheap prints or posters and a lack of comfort/vocabulary for obtaining better art. So, the artist is making an API where your role as the requester is in providing data that the artist will use as inspiration to create and send an oil painting within your budget.
