Urban Art Camouflage

Another fun little link to some awesome art – this time to “urban art camouflage“. The third one from the bottom – the woman wrapped up in words – particularly touched me, but the rest is very clever and well-done too
(Thank you to Stoo for the link.)

King of CuToure

I discuss art quite a bit on my blog, artistic expression and products interest me greatly. Very rarely do you come across a new form of artistic expression, which is why this 5 minute video from a local breakfast program today caught my eye. It’s of Adam Saaks cutting up a t-shirt. Aha. After seeing [...]

First Impressions of Sims

I’ve been doing a heck of a lot of sim-hopping lately – visiting about fifteen new places a day. And I’ve noticed something: A very large number of people put little effort into first impressions. They’ll do a write-up for their sim, they try to sell it’s appeal and the items available there, they spend [...]
