This Toothpick Build Took 35 Years To Complete
Time. It's the one thing that we all wish we had more of. I was just listening to the song "Forever Young" by Alphaville, and I must say, as cheesy as the video is, the song is a sure bet to bring the retro back into your life. I guess we all would like to stay young forever. Most likely we have all ...
DIY City Of Paris Papercraft That Fits In Your Pocket
Papercraft builds remind me a lot of Lego builds in the sense that some artists gravitate towards huge monstrosities that you can't help but stare at, and other artists focus more on minimalist creations that are small enough to fit in your pocket. One thing is for sure, bigger doesn't always mean b ...
Batman & The Joker If Dr. Seuss Created Them
Here we go again with another creative mashup, and I love this one! It's Batman and The Joker, if Dr. Seuss created them. The last time we wrote about Dr. Seuss was about a year ago when Richard wrote Star Wars If Dr. Seuss Had Created It. I'm glad that I have the opportunity to revisit the Dr. Seus ...
11 Tips For Drawing Simpsons-Like Cartoon Characters
I was messing around on a forum looking something up the other day, and I found something else so interesting that I forgot what I was originally looking for. I read about a guy named Chris who has basically spent 5 hours a day for the past two decades (he's only 28 years old) drawing characters tha ...
DIY Mini Gardens That Grow Inside Your Favorite Seashells
These shells remind me of the little hermit crab that lived in a shell that I brought home from the beach one day when I was six. I put him in a bowl of tap water, and he died a brutal death. I learned the hard way that saltwater animals can't survive in the water we drink. Mother Nature is a mad sc ...

I know, it's hard to do in today's fast paced society, but sometimes it's really the best thing you can do. You will not only get a chance to breathe, but you will also be able to get a new ...
Pointillism: The New Edge Of Graffiti Design
There is a constant debate going about whether or not graffiti should be considered art. Whenever I write about graffiti, I always get a slew of comments saying that graffiti is nothing but destructive behavior, and it should never in a million years be considered art. Well, my own humble opinion is ...
The 1 Year Photography Project That’s Still Going After 13 Years
Wow, we've been featuring some pretty phenomenal photographers over the past few days. First there was the 8-year-old professional photographer who lives in Iraq.

Coathangers: Razor Sharp Realistic Coat Hanger Sculptures
The everyday items that we all use sometimes seem dull and ordinary, and the thought that they might one day serve as material for an inspiring art piece is pretty much miles and miles away from our mind. Toasters, buttons and even eggshells have become quite impressive art pieces in the past, and p ...
Book Of Life: Beautiful Butterflies Burst From This Stunning Book
From a visual perspective, this is one of the most stunning books I've ever seen. It's actually not even a real book at all; it's a metal sculpture. The message behind it is just as beautiful as the book itself. It's all about a man who made a real difference in a lot of people's lives many years ag ...

Geekify Your Wrists: Knitted Mario Mushroom Pulse Warmers
I'm a big fan of geeky gloves. Since it was 22F (-5.5C) degrees this morning in Atlanta, and I'm still freeeezing my tush off even though I have a little heater under my desk, I thought a post about something warm might be appropriate today.
Adrian Bizilia, the artist who created these, calls the ...
The Lobster Motorcycle: A Mind Blowing Food Carving
I remember about a year ago when Diana wrote an article about how you can kill a lobster the humane way. It was one of those articles on Bit Rebels that instantly went viral, and people had a lot of different opinions about it. There were so many in fact that the site was having a hard time keeping ...
Give Thousands Of Dot Stickers To Kids & This Is What Happens
This is somewhat of a weird subject for me since I have never in my life been a big fan of stickers. I pretty much banned them from my life ever when I was a kid. Don't ask me why, it's just one of those strange things that I never really understood. It is a great way to get a message out, that's fo ...
