Trajan Font
Our cousin Matt Scott told us about this video… it’s funny because it’s true. Yet another font (hello Papyrus) that is way over used in our society.

Ron Mueck
If you’ve not heard of Ron Mueck then you must Google him and /or watch this video.
He is a sculptor, but not in the sense that many of us think of sculptors. His creations employ use of both ultra realism and scale. The scale of his art is a key factor to its impression and often its meaning. Whether over-sized (such as the “Big Man” pictured above) or smaller-than-life, such as his “Two Women Grim” piece, the scale of the work does something to create emotions in us that simple normal sized pieces may fail to do.
If you have a few minutes (30 to be exact) watch this video on him and his “Pregnant Woman” piece. The video is great at showing his process and his skill.
Warning: both the video and his work often contain artistic nudity.
