How New York Was Entirely Computer Generated For The Avengers
There's no doubt computer generated graphics in movies have become much more realistic. Today it's hard, sometimes even impossible, to tell what is real, and what is not. When we see new blockbusters in the theater, we always focus on the characters themselves, and we forget about their surroundings ...
Street Art: New York Gargoyle Building Sings The Blues
I often wander the streets of New York looking at my feet, headphones sprouting from my ears, lost in thought. But on one sunny day in the city I happened to look up. In front of me, I saw a building that quietly blossomed into something entirely magical when I stepped closer for further inspection. ...
Happy Hour Nerd Mojitos At The Candy Cocktail Bar
Ever wondered where Wonka goes to get plastered with the wicked witch when Hansel and Gretel are licking the doors and eating the gingerbread ceiling? Well, I think he pulls up a peppermint barstool to get a little tipsy in Candyland.

Creative Cartoonist Draws & Live Tweets During NYC Marathon
When I ran the Peachtree Road Race (one of the largest 10K races in the world) in 2009, I saw all kinds of crazy stuff along the way. It was the most fun I've ever had while exercising. I saw a couple getting married while running (their bridesmaids and groomsmen were also running), I saw a priest t ...
New York City Illustrated In 8-Bit Super Mario Style
I love New York City, Mario and anything 8-bit. Since this article combines all three, it's truly a fun one to write. Although I live in Atlanta, I've spent a lot of time in New York City. It's one of those places I'd like to live one day. The first time you go there, navigating through the city can ...
NYC: Watch Day Turn Into Night All In One Photograph
New York City is such a beautiful place, especially at night. It's similar to here in Atlanta where the night sky stays bright from all the lights, and there is never a shortage of interesting people and architecture to look at everywhere. A lot of photographers consider New York City to be a place ...

Spectacular New York City Photography [10 Pics]
I love living in a big city. I grew up in a small town, and I always knew from the time I was a little girl that I was destined for a big city. The moment I was old enough to relocate, I did. To me, one of the most beautiful aspects of living in a large metropolitan area is standing right in the mid ...
Photography: Random People Texting On The Streets
Do you ever walk down the sidewalk only to stop along the way, which annoys everyone around you? If you live in a touristy city, you know exactly what I mean. Tourists suddenly stop all the time to snap pictures everywhere they go. If you do that crap in New York City, people won't be politely annoy ...
Creative Inspiration: The Toy Army Men With A Message
I've played with toy army men for as long as I can remember. The army men they sell these days are a lot different from when I was young. Now you can get fancy army men that snap together into a team, kind of like Lego blocks. But, my favorite ones will always be the old-fashioned, 2-inch tall gr ...

Beautify The World: Rooftop Gardens On City Buses
It's such a wonderful feeling to know that we can do something to make the world a better place. As Richard and I have talked about before, many people think the only way to do that is to do something big, profound and time consuming. However, that's not the case. Sometimes the simplest little th ...

Chinese artist Yin Xiuzhen loves to travel. She especially loves to check out the architecture in the cities she visits. While she is there, she collects second hand clothes that have been discarded by the residents in that city.

Get Creative – Pimp Your Pizza Cutter
My 9-year-old son eats pizza at least four times a week. If I'm a coffee-holic, he is definitely a pizza-holic. Sometimes we order it to be delivered, but for a more healthy option, many times we make it at home.
I gotta admit, after making so many pizzas in his lifetime, it's getting monotonou ...
Creative New York City Rooftop Designs
It makes sense that in big cities where there isn't enough space to relax and enjoy the outdoors on the ground, the next place to go is up. You can always go higher, right?
Here in Atlanta, evidence that there is a space shortage can be seen in the parking situation. Space is so valuable that y ...
