Artists With A Hole Lot Of Imagination
A pair of designers are itching to brighten up some of Britain's two million potholes - by turning them into artworks.
For urban artists David Luciano and Claudia Ficca the nation's potholes offer the perfect backdrop for a series of wacky pictures.
And the pair, from Montreal in Canada, say they would love nothing better than to bring their unusual art to the UK.
To date, their imagination has transformed asphalt craters in cities across Canada and America.
For their eye-catching pictures they have utilised pockmarked roads for everything from donut making, washing, fishing, and even conducting a baptism.
David, 31, explains: "It came to me after our car hit a giant pothole and it cost us hundreds of dollars to repair the damage.
"There was nothing we could do about it even though it was very annoying - so we decided to turn that frustration into a positive project.
"We tried to visualise potholes and incorporate them into props instead of car-wrecking monsters.
"The hole we drove into was so deep that we imagined a woman using it to wash her clothes.
"Soon we realised that there were a whole load of scenarios and began our looking at them in a different way.
"We have had hundreds of e-mails from people in Britain who have told us about their potholes - we would love to shoot over there.
"It would be inspiring to see the people and the culture and find innovative ways of using the holes in the road - and you have plenty."

Guerrilla gardener Steve Wheen, who turns potholes into mini gardens, London, Britain - 20 Apr 2010
GUERILLA GARDENER HELPS POTHOLES TO BLOOM
A guerrilla gardener is loose in London - transforming ugly potholes into beautiful spring gardens.
Steve Wheen travels around London planting spring blooms such as cyclamen, narcissus and polyanthus into holes in the road.
The 33-year-old decided to embark on the endeavour to protest over the state of some of the capital's roads.
As a cyclist, he comments, he finds potholes a constant menace and has only narrowly avoided a number of accidents caused by them.
His protest planting also enables the keen gardener to flex his green fingers as he lives in a flat in Shoreditch, east London that has no garden of its own.
When it comes to creating one of his miniature gardens, he chooses smaller roads or pavements and works early in the morning or evening to avoid getting run over.
However, he admits, his colourful work often isn't so lucky, with one of his efforts only lasting two hours before being destroyed.
Despite the short life span of some of his green creations Steve says he doesn't mind so long as he draws attention to the potholes and puts a smile on someone's face.
His efforts so far have proven to be very popular with his website - www.thepotholegardener.com - receiving 25,000 hits in its first month alone.

GUERILLA GARDENER HELPS POTHOLES TO BLOOM
A guerrilla gardener is loose in London - transforming ugly potholes into beautiful spring gardens.
Steve Wheen travels around London planting spring blooms such as cyclamen, narcissus and polyanthus into holes in the road.
The 33-year-old decided to embark on the endeavour to protest over the state of some of the capital's roads.
As a cyclist, he comments, he finds potholes a constant menace and has only narrowly avoided a number of accidents caused by them.
His protest planting also enables the keen gardener to flex his green fingers as he lives in a flat in Shoreditch, east London that has no garden of its own.
When it comes to creating one of his miniature gardens, he chooses smaller roads or pavements and works early in the morning or evening to avoid getting run over.
However, he admits, his colourful work often isn't so lucky, with one of his efforts only lasting two hours before being destroyed.
Despite the short life span of some of his green creations Steve says he doesn't mind so long as he draws attention to the potholes and puts a smile on someone's face.
