Playing in the Street

I've seen a million of these chalk perspective drawings, but they continue to amaze me.

Here's one way to entertain yourself on a long flight.

I am horrible flyer. I can't sleep. Ever. I always get stuck in the middle seat or worse next to the bathroom. Christoph Niemann’s appears to feel the same way. Click here to read the whole story. (highly recommended). 


P.S. Please don't be that person that's sitting in row 35 and jumps up when the plane is at the gate and tries to get off before every one else. Wait your turn! ••••

500 Colors

Yep, I would absolutly like to have a colored pencil wall shelf. Not only I am obsessed with the display, but I am in love with the name of all the colors: mild curry, tea with milk, drizzly afternoon, frog pond...Crayola for adults. ••••

Cock a Doodle What?!

As a frequent blog reader, I sometimes come across a popular, reoccurring article or blog post online that I just don't agree with or see the mass appeal. Feel free to disagree, but I am not sure where I stand with the Animals on the Underground series I have seen now on more than one occasion. For example:

This Flamingo isn't half bad. But...
...the bat. Really?! Kind of a stretch.
The roster is OK. Neither here nor there.

Crayola in 3D

Just in time for summer comes a product almost too good to be true: 3D Sidewalk Chalk! This is exactly what it sounds like— draw with the chalk and each color will register at a different depth when wearing the 3D glasses. I am beyond intrigued by the commercial I just saw, and I'm curious— has anyone reading tried this out yet? The only review up on Amazon is extremely positive, and I trust Crayola to put out a quality product. Looks like I will be scouring toy store shelves nearby so I too can try my hand at a 3D drawing of my own! ••••

Every person in New York

Jason Polon wants to draw every person in New York. He draws people on the subway, on the street, restaurants, and museums. His drawings are quick black and white line drawings that have a lot of personality and a recognizable New York energy. Jason publicly announces where he will be on his blog, so you can anonymously plant yourself in that particular location if you want to be drawn. Then who knows, maybe a drawing of you will be on Jason's blog.••••
