Artist Scott Garner with a decidedly modern take on the traditional still life. Luckily, there were no beverages in the picture.
Netflix Doodles
Doodle of a robot mailbox on a Netflix envelope.
A collection of doodles on Netflix envelopes. Would love to know how many of these Netflix receives over the course of a typical year and if they hold on to them? That would be quite a collection to display in their offices sometime down the road!
Food Art
Some great food art contained within Bento boxes. The Mario one above is cool, as is the XBox one.
Pencil vs Camera
A very cool and creative set of photos titled Pencil vs. Camera, where a pencil drawing is superimposed on a real life scene and then the author took a photo, displaying a seamlessly integrated scene of the drawing and the photo. Super cool!

Headshots from the WSJ
Here is an interesting exhibit from the Smithsonian that profiles the unique Headcuts from the Wall St. Journal and how they are created. Surprisingly, even in today’s digital world, these images are hand drawn by artists commissioned by the WSJ. What would be really cool would be an online application where you could submit an image of yourself, and it would be rendered in the same manner as the WSJ headshots.
Cat In The Hat
Every year, there is one movie that is marketed at a nausiating frequency with its own marketing, and the marketing of the numerous product tie-ins. And this year, it is The Cat In the Hat starring Mike Myers. The number of product tie-ins is just insane, and this is coming from someone with a marketing degree. As a marketing manager, I would have to question the true value of such a program for the simple reason that the public probably gets so saturated with the Cat in the Hat messaging that they lose track of who or what products are sponsoring/partnering with the movie and therefore, your product gets lost in the clutter.
