Animalito Land takes on a male-dominated street art world

I got lost in all the links and clicks from one blog to another so I can't tell you how exactly how I stumbled upon Animalito Land's graffiti art. I don't know much about her, except that she's a fine-looking Argentine who draws delightful creatures on paper, screen, and walls. Yes, street art is being increasingly taken over by hot chicks and women are literally leaving their mark in the public sphere.

Animalito Land also does character design for TV ads and toys, digital color for movies and ads, concept art for videogames, art direction for interactive applications, and illustration for printed media. Her clients include CocaCola, Unicef, L'Oreal, Pampers, Nissan, and Philips, among others. Check out her website for more amusing illustrations or follow her on Instagram.

Gilbert Legrand turns mundane stuff into delightful characters

Gilbert Legrand doesn't see the world like the rest of us. You see a scrubbing brush, he sees an Apache chief. You see a a pair of scissors, he sees smooching lovers.

So I took a step back, analyzed my job search strategy and determined my flaws. Have you been rejected recently? Cheer up! Just because someone says no today doesn't mean it'...

The Blue Couch

It was ten o'clock on a hot Friday evening in early August of 2013. Around 30 people gathered inside a coffee shop in Batangas, sipping a variety of blends while listening to the resident three-piece band. Uncle Rhett's was a cozy place. The living room-like atmosphere with big comfy couches and dim lighting was much different than your usual cafe. Some were there to work on their theses and school projects. Some were present to enjoy the music, relax a little, and hang out with friends. But for my close friend Brittany, that Friday night at Uncle Rhett's was a special one. She sat there patiently, waiting for someone. At around eight thirty, she noticed a man outside, and she knew right away it was Edward. The old guy gave her a weak hug. Britt invited him in, ordered him a cup of cappuccino and chatted him up. She was more than a little nervous, but she had to do it. It was the first time she had met her father. Edward was tall, clean-shaven, and he had a high-bri...
