Happy Birthday to Me

| Chetara

It’s not really my birthday. But I’ve wanted this poster for a few years now, and decided to treat myself this morning.

If the ladies in the poster mean nothing to you, check out Questionable Content. Start from number one; the beginning art is a little hard to get by but watching it improve over time is worth it. Jeph Jacques, webcomic artist, is self-taught and was eventually able to quit his day job and fully support him and his wife off advertising and merch sales. Impressive.

Although I wish he’d post more than once a day.

Here’s one of my favorites (click to make it bigger and more legible):

Bike Shelf

| Chetara
I follow a few blogs that offer tutorials and suggestions on how to make the best use of small spaces, and this bike shelf has been floating around on all of them.
The artist says,
While visiting many friends small apartments here in SF and more so in NY, I noticed that there is a void when it comes to elegant bike management. Bikes always get in the way, either in the hall, or leaning up against a bookshelf or something. So, I decided to design something to fix that problem. Until I think of a better name, I am calling it the Bike Shelf.
Nifty. Also, I really want that bike that folds in half.
Also also, merry christmas, happy new year, all that jazz. I worked on christmas day, came home and had christmas leftovers and opened presents, and left the next morning for christmas in Maine with my sister and grandparents. Wish I could have stayed longer, as I always do, but I had to come back because I leave for New York tomorrow and DC the day after. Much merriment will be had.
