So, a friend of ours send us a link to this site. We were automatically intrigued by the title of this particular post “Sneaky Hate Spiral“. We laughed, and then read. After ten minutes of laughing to the point tears were streaming down our faces, we agreed everyone has had a day like this so everyone and even their grandmas should read it. The badly drawn illustration even makes it that much better.

You’ve seen them. Selling at local flea markets across the globe…the Velvet Elvis. Ever seen it made with your favorite crunchy cheese snack? We hadn’t either. These guys at Eclectic Asylum created a video of their version of Elvis on velvet, its quite brilliant.

Check out their Ebay store for more of their artwork for sale here.

Grab your stylus (or if you are handy with the mouse) and draw! This site gives you a ton of room to draw and after you’ve made your genius creation, you get to swap with a buddy. Here’s what we received after we submitted our masterpiece. Honestly, this five headed doodle is waay more creative than ours. Try it out. You might get ours swapped to you…we apologize in advance.

We think this site is quite unique and very dedicated. Antonio Goncalves draws people in the subway trains. So far he’s captured peeps from ten cities around the globe. We also think is site is nifty too.

Such a neat idea. Netherlands animator, Sjors Vervoort’s awesome animated short. Shot around the city of Eindhoven, Sjors paints characters onto cardboard and brings them to life. Truly innovative!

See some pictures from the shoot here.

Truly inspiring guy Tony Quan (aka. street artist Tempt One) is paralyzed. Yet, with this new technology by EyeWriter, he is able to draw again. The EyeWriter is a custom eye-tracking software, where he can paint simply by moving his eyes. Amazing.

ps. Check out 3:30, his creations project for all to see.

Learn more about the EyeWriter.

We are so spoiled. Check out this infomercial on the new Amiga Computer in 1987. Boasting not only over four thousand colors but also creates sophisticated special effects! Like cool, dude.
