Earth picture on VisualizeUs. The Hardest Part by Jeremy R Frenette & Hello Poetry. True Love. Allison lehman : show + tell / 30 Day Drawing Challenge. Netflix Envelope Doodles - Doodlers Anonymous - StumbleUpon. Admit it, you've done it. You've taken a Sharpie to a Netflix envelope and doodled the heck out of it. Not just once, but a multitude of times. You've then imagined the expression of the postal worker as the envelope passed through their hands, all with a wide grin on your face.

Here are some fun examples of people who publicly admit to doing just that. Above drawn by jovino.

Awesome Things (39 pics) You will never leave the house drunk again. Sagaki Keita. (click images for detail) Artist Sagaki Keita was born in 1984 and lives and works in Tokyo. His densely composited pen and ink illustrations contain thousands of whimsical characters that are drawn almost completely improvised. I am dumbstruck looking at these and love the wacky juxtaposition of fine art and notebook doodles.

See more of his work here, and be sure to click the images above for more detail. Fascinating Lamps by Calabarte | Pondly. Calabarte is the pseudonym of a Polish artist named Przemek Krawczynski, whose art takes on a peculiar but incredibly beautiful form: cool lamps. The name itself is a portmanteau of two words – art (obviously), and calabash, the fruit that carries his imagination. The calabash is a bottle gourd originating in India, although Calabarte gets his supply from Senegal. Due to ancient domestication and usage, the bottle gourd has an incredibly tough outer shell.

In the past, the gourd’s usage was defined mostly as a water container, due to having a tough, smooth shell with an ergonomic shape for handling, and natural buoyancy on water. Nevertheless, it’s edible both raw and cooked, and used in various cuisines. But Calabarte’s usage for the gourd has to do with neither eating nor drinking, but rather, carving. Yes; he offers various cool lamps – from table and floor lamps to hanging ones – made entirely out of a carved calabash with a halogen bulb in it. Website.
