I live in a relatively small, suburban city that does not have an apparent central Art's District hub where creative energies flock like major cities. The closest areas for art inspiration are usually the laid back independently-owned tea shops or coffee lounges where local artists hang their art prints ...

There was once an intervention for work-appropriate humour at one of my former jobs where we were asked the question: "A joke told in the workplace can be off-colour or sexually offensive as long as I know that I am only kidding.“ The moderator had the room ...
Comics for Anti-Comic People
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Feb. 20, 2015
I'm a bit of a comic book proselytizer. When people tell me they don't like comics, I usually take that as a personal challenge. (I have the same reaction when people tell me they don't like cats, but that's another story for another time.) Generally I ...

Does everyone remember floppy disks?

Television lovers will certainly have heard of the hugely popular House television series that was run between 2004 and 2012 over on Fox, with Hugh Laurie being the lead actor with his character Dr. House. The medical genius, who uses rather unique and unconventional methods at treating his patients and ...
The Art of Rick Menard
drunkducknews at 12:00AM, Oct. 19, 2014
Rick Menard’s a cool guy. He was a rebellious young whippersnapper who flipped his mom the bird when she told him to wash his hands once, this self-proclaimed smartass now spends his time making surrealist art that serves as a form of social commentary. Here are some of his ...
The Fantastic World of Aircraft Nose Pin-Up Art
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Sept. 22, 2014
It is difficult to imagine a greater canvas than the nose of an aircraft to display art. I love to visit aviation museums to look at each individual plane, but one part I always like to pay special attention to is the art displayed near the front of the plane ...
