Relaxation Shopping: The Customization Of A Shopping Cart
Anyone who has a household to maintain knows that shopping can not only be tedious, but it can also take up your entire evening if you're not careful. The phrase "relaxation shopping" isn't exactly something that is common to most people. Going to the store can be stressful, and usually we have no c ...
DIY Pancake Art: Perfect For Breakfast In Bed
Playing with food is fun, isn't it? It's one of those things we're told not to do when we're young, which may be why it's extra fun when we are adults. I remember last year when I wrote about Jim's Pancakes. Jim is a wonderful father who creates fun pancake designs for his daughter. When I look at s ...
Star Wars Vector Art: This Is Pure Brilliance
I am a huge admirer of vector art. Every chance I get, I study its intricate patterns and delve into the millions of tutorials on the web about making realistic portraits and whatnot. I usually work in Photoshop, but I have found Illustrator to be somewhat of a second outlet for me when it comes to ...
Social Media Art: All Your Facebook Friends Sketched
There are so many things about this that are so cool; I don't even know where to start! I remember a few years ago when we started seeing people create Twitter backgrounds made up of a collage of avatars from all their followers. I thought that was such a sweet way for someone to give his or her fol ...
North American Dialect Chart: Ya’ll Talk Funny
Lately, for whatever reason, I've been talking to more and more of my Twitter friends on the phone. One of the first things people usually notice when they talk to me is that I have a very southern accent (gimme a break... geez, after all, I do live in Atlanta). For some reason, that surprises a lot ...
ARTags: Augmented Reality Graffiti Tagging Application
We see it everyday, whether it is beautiful or just a bad "I Was Here" tag. I am of course talking about graffiti in all its forms and shapes. The way we experience this art is different for each person. Some people want to get rid of it, regardless if it's beautiful or bad. Other people appreciate ...
Beverage Costs vs. Calories: For Dieting Broke Partiers
As a beer drinker, I'm very aware of the high number of calories a beer contains. Lucky for me, I don't drink enough of it to gain weight; however, I know they don't call it a beer belly for nothing. It's kinda gross really when you think about how fattening some kinds of alcoholic beverages are.

8 Snarky Song Charts Cleverly Illustrated

Superpowers Mega Chart: They Are ALL Here
It seems to be one of those days when everything we are writing about is on one single subject. I'll see if I can switch it up a little on my next article, but this one is way too awesome to pass up. I mean, who could ever pass up an opportunity to write about superpowers in the first place, especia ...

Smart Bookrest Hopes To Bridge Digital And Printed Media

Star Wars Characters As Colorful Mexican Day Of The Dead Art
It was a while ago when I wrote an article that celebrated the work of a Mexican designer named Jose Pulido and his way of portraying Star Wars in the form of Mexican Traditional Art. I really thought it was the most wonderful way of combining two different geeky and awesome art forms. But as we all ...
Money Art: The Awesome Nerdery Of Money Folding
If you have a couple of bucks left over after paying bills (not likely in today's economy but keep reading), you might want to venture out into the land of imagination and create something that will not only give you a project to do for the next couple of hours, but also cheer someone else up with t ...
Star Wars Boba Fett Water Pipe Makes Smoking An Art Form
I am not so much for people who smoke. It will turn your teeth into dark crystallized peanuts in your mouth, and you will have a nasty breath that will ultimately affect your impression when you meet new people. But there are many different kinds of smoking, and to smoke a water pipe isn't really in ...
Match Art: The Micro World Of A Matchstick
It seems that "micro" is the new trend when it comes to art in all kinds of formats and styles. I recently wrote an article about the micro builds of a Lego force, but in comparison to some of the amazing micro art that is out there, I would put it quite low on the scale. I think we even wrote an ar ...
