David Olenick's art is a perfect illustration (no pun intended) of a whole series of bad decisions, excuses, and basic human behaviour - all with a humourous twist. His designs are cleverly executed with simple drawings and typography, but all the puns and clever wordplay with the quirky cast of characters definitely brings a smile, and perhaps a couple of laughs here and . . .
Card Peeks
People always seem to enjoy taking peeks into the lives of the rich and the famous. Their cars, their houses, their lives in some way or another. Here's another aspect of their lives that is not usually focused on - their business cards. For the most part, they speak plenty about one's personality from Donald Trump's faux gold foil, to Kevin Mitnick's lock picking tool set (ps/ he was a convicted . . .
Reasons My Son Is Crying
Greg Pembroke is a 32-year-old father of two boys under the age of 4. After observing his fair share of temper tantrums, he decided to share his fatherhood experiences in a blog called Reasons My Son Is Crying. The simple beginnings of posting photos on Facebook for friends and family soon turned into a Tumblr internet sensation. It's quite a laugh, you'll soon see why...Meet Charlie. "I . . .
Record-Setting Books
This was awesome. And not just coz i'm a bit of a nerd and love staying at home with the company of a good (paper) book every once in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np450xMSncE&feature=player_embedded It took 2,131 books, 27 volunteers, 7 hours and 5 failed attempts to complete - but the Seattle Public Library has set a new world record for the longest book domino . . .
Art Explosions
I think that all males just have an inclination to blow things up. In fact, all of us tend to have a fascination for it. In the fast-fading memories of my youth, I remember causing a mini explosion in a playground and running away in glee, thinking that we were the coolest kids on the block. We were not.Jon Smith puts his fascination for explosions into something creative, something worthwhile. He . . .
I Drew a Ship

iOS Makeover
This seems to be the talk of the town. Apple has finally decided to redesign their iOS. A side-by-side photo comparison of iOS 6 and iOS 7 was recently released and I'm very pleased with its new makeover. I'm sure that many out there will agree. Finally. via Fast Company Design . . .
Jumping Art
That moment of time where the phrase runs true, and where something (or someone) feels so close, yet so far. That's probably how these cards felt in this situation: Japanese artist Yuki Matsueda is a recent graduate from the Tokyo University of the Arts and holds a PhD in design. Instead of deciding to take the ordinary route of using a flat canvas, he used his love for art to do something a . . .
Their Story
A little something closer to my heart, that I hope will add a pinch of cute to your Friday morning. Just the other night, a close friend of mine proposed. Plenty of thought, loads of love and months of preparation went into this one. The lucky girl was asked to watch a "private screening of the Great Gatsby" at a local cinema but little did she know, this was what she saw . . .
