This isn’t “news” in the traditional sense of new and interesting to the world, but it’s news to me. Did you know that there are Lego versions of famous paintings? What?! I saw this rendition of Van Gogh’s self-portrait for the first time today and have been pretty excited about it ever since: Thanks, Marco…

Coffee Art
Our coffeemaker had another accident yesterday. No big news, but I thought I might have had a mental breakdown when I saw it, because my first thought was, “That’s pretty.” That isn’t usually even in the neighborhood of how I feel about messes.

Doors and Chairs and Things–Being a Renaissance Painter

Opening Up Shop

Small, but valuable.
