How To: Determine If You Need A Professional Designer
Last weekend when I was on the flight back from Shanghai to Atlanta there was a man sitting across the aisle who started talking to me. He asked me about myself, and whenever anyone does that, I always get excited because it's an excuse to talk about Twitter and social media. Since Twitter and Faceb ...
How To: Draw Creative Caricatures
Caricatures are such a fun style of drawing and illustrating. We've written about talented caricature artists many times on Bit Rebels. Just last week, I wrote about the very well done caricature art of Denis Zilber. When I look at caricatures, I have a lot of questions. How does the artist know whi ...
Kick To Pick App: Lets Unborn Babies Choose Their Own Name
I've often heard that somewhere up in the universe babies choose their parents. It's not a random selection or a magical combination of DNA. Although that sounds all fluffy and happy, I don't necessarily believe that to be true; however, if it were the case, then I suppose those unborn babies should ...

5 Things Successful Bloggers Do Differently

Interactive Headstones: Bringing Technology To The Cemetery
I know this is a morbid thought, but what if we schedule some tweets, and then we die, and those tweets go out afterwards on schedule? They'll literally be tweets from a ghost. I remember when Richard wrote about Webwill which is a service that streamlines all our social media so when we die someday ...
Photography: Rainbow Ghosts Inside The Bronson Caves
I remember a few weeks ago when I wrote to you that I was going to try to write one photography post per day through the end of the month. Although a few days have gone by when I haven't done that, for the most part, I've written about a collection of fabulous photographs or a creative photography t ...
Recycled Floppy Disk Art: Retro Technology Gets A New Life
Of all the creative artwork I've written about on Bit Rebels over the past two years, this is definitely one of my favorites. It combines technology, painting, recycling and a human touch, all flavored with that retro feeling we love so much. I remember when I first saw the works of Nick Gentry. It ...
LED Eyeshadow: Now You Can Look Like A Cyborg
I remember back in the days when LED lights were mostly just used as a tool to enhance technology. Whether it was an interactive billboard, a super geeky mod or even a fabulous light installation, LED lights were everywhere a few years ago.
Then something interesting happened. Someone somewhere d ...
Dances iPhone App: Modern Dance Meets Digital World
For the first time ever, a free app which exclusively highlights dance is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in the App Store. It's called "Dances for an iPhone," and although I'm not much of a dancer, after checking it out in more detail, I found it to be very well put together ...
High Speed Photographs Taken At The Moment Of Impact
High speed photography and video seem to be hot right now. Every day I see new collections of photographs making the rounds on Twitter. Just like with any trend that becomes popular, the competition is fierce, and we are getting very picky about what impresses us when it comes to this photography te ...
Our Emotions Expressed Through Vivid Photography
I've been writing a lot lately about artists who use their talent to creatively illustrate their daily lives and experiences. To be able to draw a picture of a feeling or emotion is truly a gift since it involves injecting that feeling into the artwork itself. It's easier said than done I'm sure.

New World Record: Largest Comic Strip Ever Created
Just this past weekend, a group of students in France decided they were going to snag the new world record for the largest comic strip ever created. However, if you know about the Guinness Book of World Records, you know it's no joke. There are very specific rules each person or group in that book h ...
Stuff Nobody Tells Us About Life Illustrated
I love it when artists find a way to incorporate the life lessons they've learned through their experiences into creative illustrations and visuals. An example of this is in the article In A Perfect World: Life's Daily Annoyances Illustrated.
Another artist who creates "life illustrations" is Ale ...
In A Perfect World: Life’s Daily Annoyances Illustrated
Have you ever had a day when you woke up at the wrong time because the AM/PM got mixed up on your alarm, then you walked to the kitchen only to realize there was no milk to put in your cereal? You reached for your iPhone, but it was out of battery. I haven't had a day that started out that rocky in ...
