Posted on 10.10.06 by Widge @ 1:49 pm

Willard Wigan has sculpted a house from a tiny diamond and it fits on the head of a dressmaker's pin.

Starbucks has announced plans to open a location on a neighboring pin in mid-December.

Anti-Alcohol Posters: Some of These Would Make More Sense While Drunk, Though
Posted on 10.09.06 by Widge @ 11:19 am
Anti-alcohol posters from the Soviet Union

A bit of a wild trip here: Soviet anti-alcohol posters. A whole online museum of them. I guess drinking will bring new meaning to the term "baby bottle." Or maybe you'll hallucinate and think your face has hinges in it.

Makes me miss drinking, actually. Good times, good times.

Gerry Embleton: An Illustrator With Something For Everybody
Posted on 10.07.06 by Widge @ 4:09 am

Drawn! points us to the website of Gerry Embleton, who appears to be a historical illustrator and whose work seems very familiar to us. He does military illustrations, he does costume sketches--he seems to do a bit of everything, and damn it all looks good. A quick Amazon search reveals 223 hits under Books. Wowzers.

That pic there is the only one of his fantasy series currently online, as his Wizard Wars fantasy website appears to be past due for an update. Can't freaking wait.

Grumpy Freak Show: Deliciously Sick Custom Care Bears
Posted on 10.04.06 by Widge @ 5:45 am

Many sick things have come out of people's minds due to the Care Bears. My favorite still has to be this.

However, fifty artists, working with American Greetings for once, created customized Grumpy Bears that were then put up for auction, all to benefit Harvest for Hunger. Check out the full Flickr set here.

That Darth Grumpy Bear is by Keith Corcoran. Be sure to check out his website to see Stormy Bears. Genius.
