If there was ever a case to be made against Amazon.com, it would be that it allows this guy to buy the things he needs to make a homemade ‘chainsaw’ weapon out of steak knives and a handheld drill. I check this guy’s Youtube account from time to time, mainly to see if he’s still alive, and have to admit that there is a part of me that loves all of the homemade weapons he makes.  Understand, though, that this is the same...

A friend of mine sent me a link to Tom Whalen’s deviantART page yesterday, and I was an immediate fan.  His sense of color and contrast is incredibly inspiring, and his work has a sense of both elegance and whimsy.  They’re created in a way that almost makes them seem as if they’re moving. Mr. Whalen is one of those artists that humbles me when I see just how much work he has put out – and how good it all is.  What you...
