Drawing With Thread & Pins: A Unique Artistry
I've heard of drawing with all kinds of different materials before, but never with thread. It's hard to believe that as thin as thread is, it could be converted into the elaborate pictures you see below. When I saw these, I thought the artist, Debbie Smyth, drew the illustrations with a pencil or so ...
Custom Gameboy Zombie Mod Inspired By Captain N
This is definitely one of the cutest little zombie mods I've ever seen! I love my old Gameboy, and I have it in my treasure box for safe keeping along with my childhood teddy bear, my NES and my original Superman comic books.

Creative Poodle Art: An Extreme Form Of Dog Grooming
This definitely gets the WTF award for the day. I've seen a lot of crazy things since I've been a writer here, and rarely am I speechless about anything. However, I really don't even know what to say about this other than wow. Right when I was wondering how anyone could do this to their dog, I read ...
Zombie Ammo: Designed To Kill Even The Gnarliest Zombies
I was starting to be a little zombied-out if you know what I mean, and I figured you probably were too, so I wasn't going to write any more posts about zombies. However, then I saw this, and I fell in love with them all over again. This is Zombie Max Ammunition. And in case you are wondering, yes, t ...
Superhero Socks With Capes: Get Your Geek On
Step aside, these Wonder Woman socks below are mine! Why didn't I think of this? It only makes sense. Suddenly every other pair of socks in the whole world, regardless of the design, is boring and completely useless. I mean, do your socks have capes? That's what I thought. It just doesn't get any be ...
Chewbacco: The Chewbacca Molded From Chewing Tobacco
If you are a fan of checking out artistic fun stuff online, you are probably familiar with Terry Border and his blog Bent Objects.

Life’s Too Short For The Wrong Job [10 Pics]
This is such an oldie but a goodie! Every once in a while, I'll stumble across something that I remember seeing from many years ago, but it's so epic and so creative, it is worth revisiting today. That happened when I found the funny pictures that I put in an article called This Is Why Men Die Befor ...
Dream Like A Child: 10 Fantasy Treehouses Around The World
I could live in a treehouse. I mean it, I really could! It would be like being on a permanent camping trip. I could fish for trout, hike in the woods and sleep under the stars every night. Of course, it would have to be a treehouse with a fast Internet connection and a kickin computer setup, or all ...

Our Wants vs. Our Needs: 12 Creative Illustrations
Have you ever stopped to think about how much junk you have in your life that you don't need? As much as I try to keep my own life very simple, even right now as I look around this room, I see tons of things that if they were suddenly gone, I wouldn't miss them one single bit. We live in an "I want ...
Delicious Design: 10 Innovative Burger Creations
When I stumbled across this Chewbacca burger (called Chewburger) on Star Wars Remix a couple days ago, it got me thinking about other creative burgers. A lot of people are inspired by a big juicy hunk of beef on a bun, and I was sure there were more burger creations out there.
I was right, and th ...
Create Your Own Googly-Eyed Zombie Pumpkins
Here in the States, many people leave pumpkins on their porch for decorations in October and November. Some people carve them, and some people don't. I like to gut my pumpkins and collect all the pumpkin seeds from the inside. If you heat them in a frying pan for about five minutes and then sprinkle ...

Retro 8-Bit Artwork In The Stockholm Subway System [18 Pics]
Sweden is one of those countries that in some ways could be explained by the word average. We have winters, and we have summers. The temperature in the winter averages around -20 degrees Celsius, and in the summers it's around +20-25 degrees Celsius. That's a span of about 40-45 degrees difference i ...
How To: Transform Old Books Into Holiday Pumpkins
Whenever I write an article about cutting up old books to recycle them into a new use, part of me cringes. I know that books are becoming more obsolete, and especially if they are damaged, many people throw them away or toss them in the recycle bin anyway, so I usually try to remind myself that givi ...
4 Original Superhero Costumes: Classic Creative Brilliance
Superhero costumes have changed a lot over the years. I wasn't alive when the first Batman and Robin television series ran from 1966 - 1968, but even many years later, there was usually a cable channel somewhere on the dial that was playing reruns of that show. The costumes that Batman and Robin wor ...
