A lot of people, especially designers, seem to be very inspired by coffee and hot tea, have you noticed that? Maybe it's because designers often keep unusual hours, so they drink a lot of it to stay alert. Or, perhaps it's just because most of us plain love those drinks!

WOW – World of Warcraft Papercraft Art
I have a confession to make. Although I've been a big gamer in the past, I've never played World of Warcraft. I know, it's only like the most popular MMORPG game. From what I hear, almost everyone that plays that game gets completely sucked in, never to be heard or seen from again.
However, ...

Hundreds of Rubik’s Cubes Create Colorful Pixel Art
I've got a very serious question for you. Which would be easier - solving a Rubik's cube or creating this Rubik's cube artwork? Hmmm... Now that is something to think about next time I get two sides finished and then get stumped on the rest.
