As you already know, The Avengers is pretty much already the people’s choice movie of the year, and has inspired all manner of pop culture tributes in recent months, from the relatively high brow to the delightfully low brow . Well, here’s just one more for you to add to the list, and it comes with a bonus — in addition to being a charming idea, these cute Avengers-themed cocktails, created by the genius mind (and great illustrator) behind  The More I Arty , actually look pretty delicious.

Everyday Words That Were Invented by Famous Authors

Fine Art No Responses »
May 192012

The English language is ever-evolving, and in our current era of instant communication, Twitter, and text-message shorthand, it just might be evolving more quickly than ever. We’ve always been fascinated by the way words are invented and take on meaning, and the way an obscure reference can become ubiquitous in an extremely short period of time — particularly those obscure references that come from our favorite manipulators of language, books. In the interest of pursuing that idea, we decided to take a look at a few everyday words that originated in literature, from plays to poems to novels to children’s books

25 Awesome and Unusual Bike Racks

May 192012

We know it’s not officially summer quite yet, but the way we see it, we’re square in the center of prime bike riding season — it’s nice enough to bike around the city, but not so hot that the extra effort plasters all your hair to your face and soaks your t-shirt. But where to put your bike when you’ve reached your destination? If you’re lucky, you can cozy it up to one of these wild and colorful bike racks, which nearly all double as public art in their respective cities

Watch Neil Gaiman’s Wonderful Commencement Address at the University of the Arts

Fine Art No Responses »
May 192012

This week, prolific science fiction and fantasy writer Neil Gaiman — quick to admit that he himself never went to college — gave a pitch perfect, funny, and inspirational commencement address at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts. We think it’s applicable way beyond the confines of university however: as Gaiman wrote on his blog , the speech covered “everything I could think of that someone starting out on a career in the arts right now might need to know.” Which, to be honest, is mostly this: ”Make good art.” Even when your cat’s just exploded — no, especially then. Click through to watch the video of Gaiman’s speech, and then get out there and start creating

Albert Einstein on Whether Scientists Pray

Fine Art No Responses »
May 182012

In 1936, a sixth grade girl named Phyllis wrote to esteemed scientist Albert Einstein on behalf of her Sunday school class to ask him whether or not scientists pray. This seems like a rather advanced question for a sixth grade class to be asking, perhaps, but maybe it’s just a universal one: the true question — whether it’s possible to be religious and also fully believe in science — is still relevant to many people today. Einstein responds “as simply” as he can, which is to say, not particularly simply at all, though since these sixth graders are already established as somewhat precocious, maybe they took it in with no trouble.

May 182012

If you’re lucky enough to buy one of Sharon Moody ‘s comic book paintings, make sure you keep it out of reach of your superhero-obsessed friends — considering that her trompe l’oeil works actually are realistic enough to fool the eye, they might well try to reach into the piece and grab the open Spider-Man or Batman serial out of it.
