A Box Called Simon

This is an electrical box for perhaps the phone lines or some such public service. These boxes are a common sight on the streets of Australia and New Zealand. But what makes these boxes unique and wonderful is the individual paint job given each one, making an artistic statement with fun built in. I like the painted boxes, I particularly like Simons one because it is cute and well to me looks happy. Who paints them I am not sure, there will be an application process but do you need an artists's CV or just an idea with half a clue as how to paint? Who supplies the paint? Do you get paid to personalize these boxes? Who owns the boxes? When were they first painted? Again the many questions I have about life around me. And the challenge this time is that with no idea as to what these boxes are called; suddenly Goggle is a bigger world than usual. Nevermind for I now know these boxes are seen in other parts of the world http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMGG0G_Tropical_Birds_on_Telephone_Wires_Calgary_Alberta and that they are called Telephone Utility Boxes. Have you seen them? Do you like them? Do you have a favourite one of all the ones you have seen? Have you ever thought it would be cool to paint one of your own? And if so, why not apply and do one?! To finish off, now I know what they are called, I have found another 3 to share with you: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2633/5813140993_0451d36039_z.jpg, http://s.wallpaperhere.com/thumbnails/detail/20110628/TelephoneBox2754.JPG, and http://www.myurbangardendecoguide.com/images/6a00d83451b60269e2010535ed0994970b-500wi.jpg.
