One new idea for every day in 2011. We're talking big, small, local, international, in action and on the drawing board. Here's today's -- what's yours?

This morning, Tempe-based artist James B. Hunt hid 13 of his newest works along Mill Avenue, between University Drive and Rio Salado Parkway.

Hunt, who also goes by NXOEED, has lived and painted in Tempe for more than 20 years. And he's been known to scatter his paintings throughout the Valley and leave time and location hints on his blog.

Find more info on today's treasure hunt here and see more of his work on the NXOEED website.

Happy hunting.
