Amazing Ink Technique

I have been a bad Shift Click Blogger. Bad Dony *gently slap face*.

Hopefully this will make up for it.



Looks like magic!! This guy created an entire graphic novel using this technique. Info on the book here.

Is there anything else left?

Autodesk buys XSI (i.e., Max/Maya eat up SoftImage)
Is there anyone else left? I wonder if it's only a matter of time before Autodesk and Adobe merge. Oy.

Banksy's new pet shop


I will never eat another hot dog again. Maybe at least for another week.

Banksy is a popular graffiti artist known largely for his satirical street murals. Unfortunately, sometimes his anonymity garners more attention than the messages he tries to send through his art. 

This week he opened a "pet shop" in New York City, which is really an art gallery in disguise displaying bizarre, life-like, animatronic sculptures and installments. This is his first ever official art exhibition, after his identity was outed by the British media.

Rainbows are made from panda vomit

Not sure what Flickr has up its sleeve, but here's a nifty Easter Egg. If you happen to explore the panda category, you'll be greeted with a (happy?) panda with rainbow vomit and photographs spewing out of its mouth.

It's just so bizzare and awesome at the same time, you'll need to view it for yourself.
