If you're talking about dedication to one's craft...Calvin Nicholls is your man. Some of his pieces can take a couple of weeks to create, and the more elaborate pieces sometimes take a year to complete! This amazingly detailed work is carefully formed from an initial hand-drawn template, with the haut-relief effect being achieved through a meticulous process involving X-ACTO knives, . . .

The Art of Death
Is it morbid to thoroughly enjoy looking at de(re)constructed skulls in all shapes and sizes? I guess not, beauty comes in all forms. Ali Gulec from İkiiki created a series of amazing skull illustrations, each one composed of experiments combining different items to form the ubiquitous symbol of death adding another level of complexity from the last.

Hip Hop Dudes
These little guys are so great. Created by graphic design studio FOREAL and inspired by hiphop culture, their hairstyles and styles are reminiscent of the rappers across a range of different eras.

Hugs for All

I'm looking forward to the year ahead and all the adventures that I'll get to have . . .

A Wrapped City
I have a love for paper, stationery, and all things related. A little while ago, encountered the dilemma of having to give a couple of friends some green tea Kit Kats from Japan and found out that I had nothing to wrap them with (big gasp). Found a roll of scrap paper and decided to make my own... Presents always look nicer wrapped - we all too often get lazy and gift people in paper . . .
