What’s your pet peeve?  If you’re a writer, it would be misspelled words, syntax errors, incorrect tenses and other grammar inventions.  Mine are misspelled signages…=)

But there is hope.  P & A Patrol is here to educate everyone one sticker at a time.  In fact you can join too.  Order your stickers here and let’s save the planet one word at a time.

Craig Damrauer is so brilliant and funny.  Everyday things and issues are presented in a whole new method.  Math.  Not everyone likes it.  Not everyone is good at it.  But I can relate to New Math and I know you can, too.

Places to see before you die is a set of 8 postcards referring to popular tourist destinations and landmarks. Instead of the usual postcards of the real places, you get text conveying the distractions felt by a fictional visitor.

The artist further explains the concept behind the postcards:

Collecting postcards of iconic locations is almost like ‘collecting’ the locations themselves, ticking them off a list of places one should visit. Yet when visiting landmarks it’s easy to be distracted by concerns from one’s own life thus feeling like you’re not able to achieve the right level of reverence or appreciation for the site.

Animalphabet is a typographic project and a collaboration between 26 artists.  Each one creates one letter formed as a real or invented animal.  You can purchase the limited poster here. The profit will be donated to Unicef.

O.K. Failure is the second issue of O.K. Periodicals.  It practically tells us that failure is ok especially when you see it as an option and not an obstacle.   The  publication shows how to work with mistakes and turn them around to your advantage.  It covers a wide range of subjects crossing various disciplines.  Get your copy here.

This would make anyone’s life simpler.  A tshirt for different occasions.

Now, why didn’t I think of that?

Also available in exercise, going out, emergency and more here.

Machine project is offering its members a chance to win a free dental cleaning by Dr. Perry Wong and musical performance by Emily Lacy at the time of their choosing between February 16th and February 28th.  This is quite a unique and a bit hilarious opportunity one should not miss.  For details, just go here.

An extraordinary collabo by Danny Mansmith and Shawna Handke.

Danny Mansmith and I wanted to create a collaboration, and this dream resulted in a show in the Big Apple. Once I had the opportunity to show my artwork at the Fountainhead Gallery, I invited Danny to be a part of the event. As you can see, we created six original collaborations for the show. I had some scrap canvas tucked away that had been waiting for the perfect project, so I dug out the unprimed canvas and began creating drawings and sketches. Once I completed several drawings simply using pen and ink, I shipped the canvas to Danny and said, “do what you want with it…” The results are what you see. We had not met in person prior to the show, and we were communicating solely through mail. So when we finally arrived in the city and met one another in real life, it all seemed rather surreal.

Wishing you a weekend filled with love and beauty.

Happy Valentine.
