If you're into digital art, Adobe Fresco is your friend

Adobe Fresco is now available on the iPad and it's free... sort of. Android and Windows users will have to wait a little bit longer.

Creative Cloud subscribers can use the painting and illustration app for no additional cost while others can download a free version that has limited access to certain things like brushes, exporting and future updates. A standalone version of Fresco is also available for purchase at $9.99 a month, which comes with six months for free if you sign up by December 31st.

Kyle Webster, who works as senior design evangelist at Adobe, shares his thoughts on the app:

"I know that professional artists will find a lot to love in Fresco. But I'm just as eager to have kids and people who have never thought of themselves as artists try it. Fresco on iPad lets you experiment with materials that most novices would never have access to. You can try out different kinds of media and different techniques and if things don't turn out the way you expected, you can just undo and try something else. It's the kind of flexible and forgiving environment that I hope will lead lots more people to discover the joys of painting and drawing."

Sayaka Ganz creates amazing art menagerie from discarded plastics

I could never get enough of Sayaka Ganz . The Japanese-born artist saves the planet from plastic, at the same time creates brilliant animal sculptures. Raised under the Japanese philosophy of Shintoism, she hopes to bring greater awareness to the condition of our environment through her art. When creating sculptures, Sayaka organizes the reclaimed plastic objects into color groups, constructs a wire frame, and then carefully attaches the fragments of waste until she creates the shape she has envisioned. Her work has been exhibited in many places around the globe, among them Parma, Tokyo, Denver, New York, and San Francisco to name a few. Sayaka's Reclaimed Creations is currently on view at the Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University in Maryland. She regularly posts on Facebook, so be sure to like and follow her page for updates.

Meet the man with the world's biggest collection of 'Dragon Ball' memorabilia

A Dragon Ball fan has earned a place in the record books with a memorabilia collection of more than 10,000 unique items related to the media franchise created by Akira Toriyama. Hitoshi Uchida of Japan recently surpassed the previous Guinness World Record of 5,065 pieces set by Michael Nilsen in 2007. A fan since he was a kid, Hitoshi hoarded so many Dragon Ball merchandise over the years that he was forced to quit his job to focus on his collection. The Tokyo resident even has an entire room dedicated to 4,000 Son Goku items. WATCH:

Feast your eyes on the making of 'Heisei Mary'

This is a time-lapse video of Japanese artist Shohei Otomo drawing Heisei Mary — a naked Sailor Moon-like figure completely covered in tattoos. The highly-detailed body ink features Spiderman, Darth Vader, Hello Kitty, Naruto, Street Fighter and Dragon Ball characters to name a few. It's really satisfying to see an artist's process, the way their illustration grows and grows out of nothing. Shohei is known for his hyper-realistic sketches using ballpoint pens. Born in Tokyo in 1980, he is the son of Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of the manga Akira . He exhibits his work regularly in Japan and Australia as well as in Mexico and France. Three weeks worth of work are sped up into less than four minutes.
