Tie Case: Recycle Your Old Ties Into Wallets And Cases
Being a kind of laid back person, I don't have the payload of ties to brag about.

In the summers, i ...
Low on Cash? Paint Your Car with a Sharpie!
Remember the guy back in 2008 who painted his Lamborghini with a sharpie? I suppose saying "painted his car" is a stretch. Instead I'll say he "decorated his car" with a sharpie.

Recycling: The Merry-Go-Round Made Out Of Bicycles!

Frankenlovely: Our Obsession With Image & Youth Illustrated
It is no surprise that we live in an image and youth obsessed culture. Most of the women I know are either obsessed with having the perfect face, the perfect body or even just the perfect hair. My question is, what is perfect anyway and why do we scratch and claw our way through so many headaches ...

Star Trek Illustrations: Could You Draw These With Your Eyes Closed?
Do you know what blind contour drawing is? I never heard of that term before today, although after I read about what it is, I realized I've done many drawings this way.

This Is What Happens When Artists Do Too Much…
Artists have a way of exaggerating reality in order to highlight their subject, and usually it is in every possible visual way.

Recycling Inspiration: A House Made From Newspapers
Do you know of anyone that still gets their news from a newspaper? I remember when I was a little girl, we had a "paper boy" that delivered a newspaper to our house every morning. I don't know of anyone that reads a newspaper anymore. I don't like newspapers because they make my hands dirty, so l ...
