Usually it’s just those things I can’t yet afford. Here’s number 1 on [...]

Candles and Fun Gifts

A fun, cheap and personal Christmas gift idea, probably more on the crafts side than the arts side here.
In addition to blogging here at b5media I am also an associate pastor here in Newark, OH. Home of the worlds largest basket building and the Heisy Glass Museum, as well as the site of [...]

Bonsai Furniture

I thought this was a cool idea. My wife is a bit of a tree hugger. Okay, I admit it.. I am too. (but it’s all her fault).

So her first reaction was “You mean they grow these trees just to cut them down? That’s horrible.”
“Yeah” says I “you know like in the Eragon books how [...]

M.C. Escher - Rendering the impossible

I am an Escher fan. I love his work. I think what intrigues me most is the way he looked at the world. He literally got out of the box and started something new with his art. I recently ran across a bunch of videos on Youtube that use the concepts [...]

innerTee - Waiting on Approval.

I’ve been keeping an eye on innerTee lately. This looks to be a great little place where Artists can upload their work and from what I understand, anyone in the community could select that design and put it on a shirt they purchase. Though innerTee has been around the web since early 2006, this is [...]

Okay, I admit it.

I recently watched a Weird Al Video collection. Lately I have been able to get some of those tunes out of my head. But this morning as the really dumb song started flitting through my head, a thought occurred to me. It was the song “Dare to be Stupid”
Has there ever been an art project [...]

EmptyEasel.com: Submission to the Uncontest.

Dan over at www.EmptyEasel.com submitted this design. I really like this one. It’s clean and really easy to read. He even kept some of the elements from my earlier submission. I like the little byline there too, which I hadn’t thought of. It definitely brings to the blog a branding element that I haven’t really [...]

Logo design #1 and the “uncontest”

Okay here is the deal…
over at b5media, a few (good) changes are happening.

new templates
new ad systems
