It’s about time someone came up with a version of Scrabble that’s cool. This will make them put down their video games and try it out. Top quality materials, and great typography.

When I was in college, we had a lot of cut-paper assignments. But I’ve never seen anything like the skill this street artist–Ming Liang Lu–can perform.

The folks over at creative finder have let me know that one of my images have been selected by their judges to appear in their main page images bar. They won’t say when, but I’ll take the two thumbs up from them for sure. Thanks creative finder.

If you’re a big Edgar Allan Poe fan (like me), these illustrations by Harry Clarke from the book Tales of Mystery and imagination will really augment the stories for you. The book is a compendium of some of Poe’s best, the Pit and the Pendulum, the Telltale Heart and more. Click on the link lower down on I09′s page to see large versions of the images, very scary–great lifework.

Google art project is a cool way to get a look at a ton of art, most of it from the masters. It’s not a complete collection yet, but like everything Google, it’s growing. Nice interface too.

If you’re like me, my favourite time of year is playoffs. I love NHL hockey. The playoffs just aren’t the same without having my hometown team playing. I hope next season will be better for the flames.

When you see the graffiti image by Pavel Puhov during the day, you’d probably comment on how interesting it was that he wrapped the image around a corner, but at night, it really turns up the cool-meter.

Here’s a pencil rough and the finished illo. This was part of a series of 11 caricatures, this was my favourite because of the person’s features. Flat colour was added to the ink drawing using Illustrator and Photoshop for blending.
