Angora Napkin Title Sequence
This is the original title sequence for the "Angora Napkin" pilot that was animated in Flash by Nick Cross & with Troy Little in 2008. The network preferred to use a more conventional intro using clips from the show so this was unused.
The Art of Dave Howlett
Dave works at best comic shop in town Strange Adventures, and he's got his own online comic in progress, see it here.
The description on the blog is intriguing: An online graphic novel set during the gaudy glory days of 1980s professional wrestling, SLAM-A-RAMA chronicles the events of the greatest night in sports entertainment history. Over the course of one fateful evening, a diverse cast of characters--some at the top of their game, others on the downward slope of their careers--will be tested by bone-crushing battles within the ring, as well as the harrowing personal dramas that await them backstage.
The SLAM-A-RAMA logo at the top of his blog was designed by the always-professional, Jim White.

16 Incredible Artists - You Have to Check These Out
Sam Wolfe Connelly
Leonardo Solaas
Awesome abstract computer-generative drawings, see more here. I used to do this type of stuff all the time, I love it, unfortunately I lost the software when I upgraded computers. Anyone know of a free Fractal Generator software/PS filter I could get?
Stephen Wiltshire
Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws extremely lifelike, accurate and detailed cityscapes. If that wasn’t hard enough, he does it strictly by memory, sometimes after having only observed the cityscape very briefly. Last year he made an 18 foot long drawing of the entire New York skyline after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter overhead. He’s also made panoramas of Rome, Tokyo, Dubai, London, and a bunch of other major cities around the world. I had seen a half-hour special on him 5 years ago on TLC, I was in awe. This guy’s work is extraordinary in every sense of the word – go to his site and read about his childhood, it’s a crazy/inspiring story!
Eugenio Merinos
Hilarious sculptures from Eugenio Merinos, infused with a large dose of biting political and art-world satire.
Anitabling
Here’s some hand-crafted madness from artist anitabling. Relief and countour give these geographic, multi-media sculptures a topographical view of a quirky, colorful world. Check out more work on her photo stream.
Mike Shankman

Kirk Demarais
Kirk Demarais has a series of family portraits that are charmingly creepy. But these are not portraits of your next door neighbors. He focuses on fictional families who starred in your favorite films. Kirk covers them all, from The Shinning to There Will Be Blood. Something Mirco should have thought of years ago. : )
