According to POW, “Vhils walks the streets of his native Portugal and takes pictures of homeless people, he turns these into oversize silkscreens and prints the images onto thick art paper with a concoction of household bleaches and then dribbles ink over them.” Read more. →

Bzzzpeek “is a collection of animal sounds made by very short people from around the globe. Hear what frogs sound like to Hungarians. (Apparently, Hungarian frogs carry submachine guns.) Hear the world’s spookiest owls. (Japanese owls are especially spooky.) Then move on to the vehicles — cop cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and trains. Best of all, you can submit sound files of your own, and hear your sons and daughters making asses of themselves on the world stage.” (via Very Short List)
This is incredibly entertaining.

I was browsing around Flickr today searching for some pixel art inspiration for a new tattoo idea and ran across a beauty inspired by Craig Robinson’s minipop drawings on flipflopflyin.com. We were lucky enough to interview Craig or Fill/Stroke last summer.
This adaptation was made by Ruby Khan.
It contains 45 different figures; 99 individual people and one happy little tree accompanying Bob Ross.

(Click the crop above for detail.)
Aaron Horkey is a phenomenal illustrator and poster artist who grew up in rural Minnesota. His hand-drawn, obsessively detailed typography never ceases to amaze me. When we interviewed Aaron for issue one, he offered helpful advice about avoiding mistakes.
Don’t try a half cab flip right out the gate just because your high school crush happens to be watching - you will roll your ankle and end up in a shameful heap.
