Drop the Nerf bat, and grab a brick! Oh Jason Chan, I *heart* your zombie art. There’s so many great things about this piece. Who said play was a waste of time? I’d bet you’d wish for more time training on the monkey bars if you were in the same situation.
Best of all, I now have a new desktop wallpaper.
So I’ve been sorting through my bookmarks and rediscovered a gem, Gorilla Artfare. About a hundred artists contribute to this blog, posting their sketches, unfinished works, and polished pieces of art.
So here is one of my favorite contributors: Björn Hurri. He has a series of steampunk Star Wars characters. His Leia is my favorite. After George Lucas sucking all the cool out of his own movies, Hurri manages to make the characters at least look interesting again.

Honolulu boy, Won Park, is garnering a lot of attention due to his Star Wars dollar origami, but really, you need to check out his other pieces as well. (His deviantART page also features an impressive Transformers Bumblebee costume from last Halloween.)
What can you do with some craft foam, floor polish, and some Elmer’s glue? Oh just elven armor from the Helm’s Deep battle in Lord of the Rings. The elves could not have done it any better (if they were limited to craft store supplies). In addition, the creator posted instructions on how you can do it yourself. Just in time for you to whip out a few sets for the family before Halloween!
Peter Callesen’s paper sculptures are elegant, simple, and astonishing. What’s remarkable is that they are cut from a single piece of A4 paper. Check it out.
So I’ve been debating whether to keep this blog just as an online portfolio or to post other folks’ inspiring work. Well, I guess this video made up my mind for me.
Check out this video for Obama featuring music by up-and-coming rapper MC Yogi and some great vector art and typography.
