Marc Harmon- Leroy Jethro Gibbs

So a few days ago I decided I wanted to draw Mark Harmon who plays Gibbs in 'NCIS'. I tried using a regular no. 2 HB pencil but it totally failed. Then yesterday I gave it another shot using a soft charcoal pencil from Faber Castell and I got better results. I drew it starting at the jaw line and only coloring in the shadows. Charcoal was much easier because I could smudge it around and use it as a paint and my finger as a brush. I think it kind of got warped when I scanned it..

Painted Ukuleles

I found my love for ukuleles just last year when my classmates started playing as well. They had their own ukes and played much better than I did but I didn't care. Now I have my own uke and I'm getting pretty good. I was looking up pictures of ukuleles and found that there are some pretty cool painted ones.

Flip-flop Creations

After seeing what Brazilian students did, I was intrigued and wanted to see more. I found recycled flip-flops. I also found other flip-flop sculptures. It is amazing how creative people can be.

Buildings that look like what they sell




These buildings are pretty cool. People thought of out-of-the-norm ways to get more business. They decided to create something unique. Something amazing. They decided to create buildings that look like what they sell. These are my favorite out of all of the ones I found. click on one of the photos to see more.

Chris Lange Collages

Chris Lange is an artist. Well that's obvious. But! I bet you don't know what he creates! Actually, you do. He makes collages. Though, his collages are a little bit different. He sells Nintendo themed collages that are pretty darn cool.

Button Art

Buttons hold the world together better than anything except duct tape. But this brings buttons to a whole other level. These cool people figured it was more creative to make things out of their extra buttons than to sew them onto clothes. Although I like them all, I like the male face the best. Let me know which one you like the best.

Art Aquariums

I've always loved aquariums, no matter what kind. Just looking at the water and plants in a glass tank -looking at the wild- is fascinating to me. Paper aquariums, Crochet aquariums, tiny origami aquariums.
