"I Wanna Get Paid"

"What I found inventive about Kurtz's group of boxers was his related series of miniature paintings executed on discarded credit, debit, and gift cards. Not only did these remind me of a genre of painting from the Victorian age -- when artists in 19th-century England painted tiny portraits and bucolic landscapes onto brooches and pieces of porcelain -- but Kurtz is recycling plastic as well as creating transportable art that fits in your wallet." Douglas Fairfield
