Western Roots
I grew up on the Great Plains. I love the grasslands, the cornfields, the (few) trees, the clouds, and the sunsets. I miss the farmers and the smell of, dare I say it, livestock. I’ve often told my friends that if someone bottled the smell of a barn and put it in a candle, I would buy out the inventory. But there is another smell that haunts the Midwest: the putrid, nauseating scent of a...
Be a spider for a day!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a spider? Check out this amazing exhibit and i guarantee you will have a good perspective on what it might be like.
Im sure your first though is “what is this made out of?”

McBess: Vinyl Splashed Acid Goodness
So an Illustrator, a Surrealist, a Musician, a Retired Cartoon and a Pirate walk into a bar. The barman says: “we don’t serve your type here, but we will teleport you outta’ here for free.” So they all step into the teleporter at the same time. The barman screams “NO” and throws a cleaver at them. There’s an anomaly in the space-matter flux and everything...

Quoth the Raven
This post was originally intended to be based on birds as a whole. Flying, chirping, pooping on statues…the whole bit. But as I was deciding on my top picks, it occurred to me that a lot of sellers focus on the “happy bird” image (you know, cute owls with big eyes, sparrows holding messages of love) and while there is nothing wrong with that, I think that my fashion sense calls...

Barnaby Ward. A Man of his... Ward.
An artist who gives me and many others true artistic inspiration: Barnaby Ward. His work features beautiful scenes with soft pastels, grungy greys, and watercolor-esque illustrations.
Some of his illustrations are boldly surreal, while others depict elaborate scenes of machinery and cityscapes. The figures are so intriguing. It always seems like they could be real people, like there’s a...
la mode du jour
Ugh, it is a typical day here: hot, humid, and cloudy. To brighten my day, and hopefully yours also, I’ve picked out a few beautiful, bold, and cheerful accessories! Without further ado…

Oh Nooooes!
Good day fine people! My name is Shawn. I’m twenty if you really have to know.I’m also a 3rd year design student. I love arrrrrt! If i wasn’t in design I would be in art. But I probably love design just as much as art so it works out. I’m into internet memes and humor, and of course gaming. I’m co-runner of the Etsy shop, Suffix. I also submit a lot of stuff to...
Howdy!
So, if you are reading this, you are probably wondering about the author—in our case, authors. That’s right, there are 3 contributors behind paste-up! I know, it’s crazy!
Anyway, ‘hi’, I’m Rachel—author #1 and the person who decided to start this party! I’m about two decades old (who’s counting?) and am a 3rd year design student! I love art,...
