It's a dreary, rainy day here in Virginia. Stuck inside the house, if I had young kids, this would make a fun activity, the kids probably tittering the whole time about building worlds inside of toilet paper tubes. We've covered Anastassia Elias' work here in the past, but it bears repeating.

start doing the oil painting.

I will paint it on the big canvass. I tried it on small one first to get the feelings right. I haven't decide the title yet but I have kept this idea for long time. so I'm very happy that finally I can start it.

The Photojojo store carries this crazy-realistic camera lens mug, only $24:
Behold, the Camera Lens Mug, a mug that looks JUST LIKE a 24-105mm lens!
It's equipped with a lens-cap lid (omg), rubber-grip focus and zoom rings (o…m…g), and an auto-focus switch that actually switches (OMG)! It's so realistic, you might have to use post-its just to remind yourself which is your mug and which is your lens!
