Caitlin Hackett's Contemporary Mythology

Take a quick peek into the world of Caitlin Hackett and you'll be dazzled by all of the mystical creatures. Combining her love for cats, folklore, cryptids and Dungeons & Dragons, Caitlin was destined to become an artist.

"My passion for the natural world has inspired my art since I first put pencil to paper as a child," the Oakland-based artist said in a statement.

Her paintings and sketches are like dreams (or nightmares), and I could stare at them for hours.

"As I have grown I have combined my love for animals with my interest in both wildlife biology and mythology to create artwork that speaks to the current biological mythos that constructs the barrier between what is considered Human, and what is considered Animal," she added.

Aside from her website, you can also peruse Caitlin's work by visiting her Society6 shop.

The trailer looks promising, but few had high hopes for an adaptation of Scott Turow's first novel that had already spawned a Harrison Ford flick 34 years ago. Ah, 1990…the Gulf War. It was the year when I was afraid to go to birthday parties for fear that everyone would start singing Taylor Dayne's Love Will Lead You Back . 1990 was the year when I caught mumps and chickenpox. It was the year when no one was quite sure what happened between my science teacher and my classmate's dad, but they were sure happy about it. A reason to see Presumed Innocent is the amazing performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Camp. A reason not to see it is if you're already very familiar with the book and the movie. For some reason, I even had a paperback…but I'd never read it, start to finish. So here I am, ...

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
