World's Smallest Postal Service

Found via Nut and Bee:

The World’s Smallest Postal Service (WSPS) will send a tiny, tiny letter for you. The miniature wax seal is unbearably cute.

Nut and Bee themselves have some pretty cute stuff - I need to order more buttons from them :)

I found this linked from somewhere yesterday, and spend this morning and early afternoon reading it. It's a neat story, I can't wait to see the movie.

Illustration Friday - "Flawed"

I can't decided if he's flawed but still loved, or was thrown away because he was flawed by someone who he thought would love him forever. Either way makes a good story, doesn't it?

I've been doing Illustration Friday since the first of the year, but this is the first I've posted. I hand drew this in my sketchbook, scanned it, and colored it in Photoshop. I'm rubbish at colorising in PS :) Next time, I'll just use colored pencils and scan it!

I linked to it on Flickr from IF, rather than here. Maybe next time.

Not a good day... can I start over?

I am fighting allergies and a massive headache, I think my DungeonMaster is trying to kill our entire party and cursing my dice rolls somehow*, and I just broke the lid to my brand new teacup that I bought myself for my birthday.

I need to think up a quick picture for my Blythe 365 picture for today, and then go to bed and pull the covers over my head.

*Note: I don't actually think he's cursing my dice rolls, but I actually only managed to get a roll that hit like twice or maybe 3 times today. He may however, actually be trying to kill us all.

Reverse graffiti

I found this through a link in my RSS feeds:


He's creating the skulls by cleaning the pollution from the walls.
I believe the police were taking notes, not ticketing him. I think the end result was the artist's aim - having the local government clean the pollution from the tunnel.

It's a really interesting concepts to me, and I love the comments on YouTube going back and forth about whether it was a shame that the art got cleaned off, or if that was the artist's aim.
