Got this in the mail from my parents with three pages of crayon drawings. I asked him who did the drawings and he said “I don’t know… found them in a notebook here.”
Though they are unfamiliar to me, I am pretty sure that’s my handwriting.

Today’s quote: “My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can.”

This book of Lucian Freud paintings is the best valentine I’ve ever received.
Los Angeles-based street artist El Mac recently created an impressive photorealistic mural for Rapt Studio at Adobe’s Lehi, Utah building. Featuring a young girl drawing, the mural is rendered with a pixel-like texture and is intended as an homage to the spirit of creativity. The young girl appears almost glowing and translucent, much like a hologram or an ethereal presence. Take a look at a video by Rapt Studio of El Mac completing the project as well as some photos of the process below.
