Han Solo’s Blaster Drawn in Microsoft Paint

Oct 25, 2010 | No Comments

Can you believe FuggedabouditNL was able to do this in Microsoft Paint? I could barely draw a circle with the official circle-drawing tool. Guess it’s not about the tool, after all. He puts Photoshop artists to shame! As you probably know, MS Paint is free software! This video once again proves that one doesn’t need [...]

I’ve talked before about my favorite artist Justin Hillgrove. I happen to have several things in my home that he has drawn. While at an event earlier this evening, I was lucky enough to watch the man at work. How amazing is this? What type of art do you enjoy? Who is your favorite artist?

I don’t know why, but I’ve liked this artist from the very first time I met him (which happened to be the very first time I ever saw his artwork). Seems that every other time I walk into @TwilightArt (in West Seattle), I see something of Justin’s. Last night, I became the proud owner of [...]

Find more videos like this on Reviews, News, and How To Geeks While strolling around Seattle tonight for Fashion’s Night Out, we came across some weird art – @weirdoculture art, to be specific.

This is a guest blog post written by Imei Hsu. No matter where you go in the world, whether staying in a four-star hotel in a world-class city, or accepting the invitation of the owner of a hut in the poorest of towns in a third-world country, the soul of humanity expresses itself in art. [...]

Social Media Battles Childhood Cancer

Jul 7, 2010 | One Comment

The first time I wrote about my friend Drew Olanoff, he was speaking at Gnomedex about his battle against cancer. Drew was given the all-clear not long after that, thankfully. However, he vowed to continue the fight against cancer and uses social media to help spread his message. He has a lot of creative ideas [...]

My friend Kristin is an excellent artist. She did all of the art work for the Twitter eBook. I decided my home office needed something to spice it up, so I asked Kristin to paint a little something. The result is pretty dang awesome. Thanks, Kristin, and thanks to UncleJohn for capturing every moment of [...]

How to Create Art on the iPad

Apr 1, 2010 | One Comment

I bet you had an Etch-a-Sketch when you were a kid. Those things were epic, weren’t they? I used to sit and draw with mine for hours on end. I’d probably still play with it if I had one now as a grown-up! This is why I’m very happy to see the Mag Canvas app [...]

Are You a Hello Kitty Fan?

Mar 26, 2010 | 5 Comments

Cats and kittens are cute, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t “get” the whole Hello Kitty phenomenon, though. Is it because I’m a man? I understand that Hello Kitty is a wildly popular little cartoon creature. I get that little girls everywhere demand merchandise of every shape and size with the cuddly little darling [...]
