Poster #4: The Panty Dropper
This is one of the posters designed for the 2012 Los Angeles Beard and Mustache Competition back in 2012. I thought it was pretty funny and wanted to share.

Monterrey, N.L. MX
Nuevo León (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈnweβo leˈon] (
)), officially Free and Sovereign State of Nuevo León (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Nuevo León), is one of the 31 states which, with the Federal District, comprise the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico. It is divided into 51 municipalities and its capital city is Monterrey.
It is located in Northeastern Mexico. It is bordered by the states of Tamaulipas to the north and east, San Luis Potosí to the south, and Coahuila to the west. To the north, Nuevo León has a 15 kilometer (9 mi) stretch of the U.S.–Mexico border adjacent to the U.S. state of Texas.
The state was named after the New Kingdom of León, an administrative territory of the Viceroyalty of New Spain.
Besides its capital, other important cities are Guadalupe, Santa Catarina, San Nicolás de los Garza, and San Pedro Garza García, all of which are part of the Monterrey Metropolitan area.

Real-Life Tetris: Items Fit Perfectly in Street Sculptures
[ By Delana in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ]
Those of us who grew up playing Tetris credit the game with teaching us everything from patience to time management to packing skills. For Swedish artist Michael Johansson, Tetris also seems to have instilled a love of organization. Johansson’s Tetris-like organizational art pieces are fun and satisfying in that everything-in-its-place kind of way.
Johansson collects used objects which have already enjoyed a long life and turns them into larger-than-life sculptures. He seems to have a magical sense of space, fitting items of different sizes and shapes perfectly into doorways, windows, and all types of unlikely spaces.
Because the objects are old and show some signs of wear, Johansson believes that his art gives them a new past – a “fake history.” He lovingly crafts these combinations of (usually) unrelated items into sculptures that rely not only on the skill of the artist, but also the size, shape and color of the objects themselves.
Without the whole, each individual part of these sculptures would not make sense as art. And like Tetris, it is the coming together of many pieces that really makes the projects fun. One can step back and look at the amazing tableau of these combined objects or step closer to appreciate each individual object. Either way, Johansson’s real-life Tetris leaves us all feeling like winners.

Be green and travel in style – Greenest Hotel Opens in Canada
What was once an old abandoned building is now the greenest hotel in North America. The Planet Traveler is the brainchild of Anthony Aarts and Tom Rand, who recently wrote and released the book, Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit: Ten Clean Technologies to Save Our World. An incredible example of adaptive reuse, the Planet Traveler is their vision of a low-carbon hotel, able to cut standard building emissions by as much as three-quarters.
