of your 365

365 (+1) days of being jealous. What better way to show a year of posts from this site than through a clever bit of scripting that creates a cloud of words from provided text (in this case, from many of the posts seen here). Wordle creates beautiful word clouds. What does your cloud say?

of your exterior

Does the exterior of your car need to be covered in metal? What skin is truly better when manufacturing a vehicle? The new BMW GINA uses a synthetic fabric that ensconces the frame of the car, allowing the cloth to define the lines. The clothes now make the car.

of your anatomy

Ever wonder what’s inside your Gummy Bear that makes it so darn delicious? How about a vinyl toy? Jason Freeny has and is eager to share that knowledge with you. Among several, candy-coated, impressive illustrations; we are treated to some crucial anatomical details otherwise left secret by clowns and candy factories the world over. It’s what’s inside that counts.

of your crayon

Good old colored wax has been a tried and true medium for kindergarten and preschool kids for many years. Why, Crayola has been in the pigment business for well over 100 years. Don Marco does service to this stalwart tool by creating beautiful works of art all with the waxy, rainbow sticks. Staying within the lines was a cake walk.

of your progression

Ellora Klein is 1283 days old. Her father, Arnold Klein, has taken a picture of her every day of her life to date. Watch time fly.

of your wood

Remember building small structures out of popsicle sticks and glue? Apparently, Patrick Acton does and he’s gone a step further by creating the Matchstick Museum to house his incredible works made out of thousands and thousands of matchsticks.

of your invasion

A local Colorado man, Jeff Peckman, claims to have a real “gray” alien caught on film peering into a bedroom window at night. He will broadcast this video to news media for all the world to see. It’s real because it’s on film, right?

of your submission

It’s hard to get your ideas for a new comic series out there. After all the trouble to get it printed and submitted, accepted and then published, will people even like it? Zuda comics has a bit of an outlet for the upcoming comic book artist. Submit your comic to the competition and be judged by your peers and fans. Web comics are growing up.

of your lens

In the late 19th century, Alexander Stanhope St George had a phenomenal idea to connect two major continents via an incredible tunnel of mirrors—the Telectroscope. This optical device allows the viewer in London to see his counterpart in New York, and vice-versa. Construction was resumed by his great-grandson, Paul St George, and is on exhibit until the 15th of June. If you’re in either city, take a quick peak across the pond.

of your tutorials

As a designer/artist, there are an incredible number of resources available to teach you some useful tips and tricks while working in Adobe Photoshop. Some of the finest, member-contributed tutorials can be found hiding behind the shield and they’re worth the search. Draw on some inspiration.
