POPSkiss . . . I caught this print from a treasury on the Etsy front page. I was positive it was a really artsy photo of a woman sucking on a nipple. Maybe it should have been! Stupid birds.

POPSHappi Songs ~ 8 Craving some Asian inspired food, I decided to check out the newly opened Happi Songs last night. What used to be Rita Flora, is now a trendy Asian tavern. The decor is artsy/edgy and creates the feeling of being tucked away on a little back street in Beijing or Shanghai,

POPSWhy The Hostility Towards Differences? "What to make of the girl who wears basketball shorts and baggy T's and enjoys shooting baskets with the boys; the black kid who hangs out with a white punk rock crowd; the artsy boy who "glams it up" at school in high heels and jewelry? His skin, his smile, his heart . . . it's the same as anyone else," Shakina pointed out. "It's blue eye shadow, that's all it is. What about that is so threatening?" As someone who felt they were made to "fit in" with the rest of societies "ideas" of how one is supposed to feel, I can totally relate to this article. I've asked myself so many times why there is so much hostility towards differences and I can never come up with a good answer. So growing up, I tried to fit in outwardly while secretly living quite a different lifestyle. The ironic part is that I found some of the most homophobic people to actually harbor gay tendencies themselves.

POPShow not to display your artwork on the web 
In the thirteen years I’ve been on the web, twelve of which I’ve spent doing professional web site design, and the last two of which have sent me to hundreds of artists’ web sites, I’ve come to the inevitable conclusion the the thing artists want most when placing their art on the web is for it not to be seen. There are millions upon millions of bad sites on the web, but artists really work at it. Never have I seen such an array of sites in which artsy designs, misplaced cleverness, highbrow concepts, amateur clumsiness, arrogance and ignorance have been painstakingly employed to drive visitors away. As a result of this obvious desire of illustrators, painters, comics artists, concept designers and other artists not to be seen, I’ve created a collection of handy tips for how to send editors, art directors, gallery owners, prospective buyers, webcomics readers and casual users hastily clicking away in search of some portfolio site other than yours. Got your note pads ready?
