Make Believe (#51)

 

Make Believe!

I’m sure we all remember playing dress-ups as a kid. Running around the house and yard pretending you were Superman or spiderman.. hell, sometimes you didn’t even need a costume, just your over-active imagination. It kinda sucks we lose some of that as we grow into “responsible” adults.

 

T.J. Barnum – Monster All Star (#49)

T.J. Barnum Monster All Star

Known to many simply as T.J., Thomas James Barnum was arguably the greatest player to grace the court in the MGBA (Monsters & Ghouls Basketball Association). Unstoppable in offence and equally at home under the boards in defence, T.J. equalled legend Milf Chamberslain’s 50-point average score per game in his last season. T.J. now lives with his wife Marcia and their three children in a New Orléans swamp system and manages his clothing company T.J. Sportswear.

It’s TLR Love (#44)

Twin-Lens Reflex... Sex on Film!

I love my Yashica 635, the vintage medium format 120 film camera I rock with when I get the chance. There is something about the permanency of film that I love. I shoot digital on commercial jobs, but for personal work I prefer film most of the time. Check out my Flickr stream to see some shots off the Yashica.

Sleight of Hand (#43)

Sleight of Hand

Sleight of hand, also known as prestidigitation (“quick fingers”) or legerdemain, is the set of techniques used by a magician (or card sharp) to manipulate objects such as cards and coins secretly. Sleight-of-hand techniques can also be used to cheat in gambling games, in street con games such as the three-shell game, or three-card monte to steal, or, sometimes, to claim supernatural powers, as in the performances of some 19th- and early 20th-century spirit mediums. ~ Wikipedia.

I’ve had this phrase rattling around in my head for a while as Pearl Jam and Radiohead have both used it in song lyrics and I thought it would be a cool thing to illustrate. So, here it is!
