This sweet animated video shows you dumb ways to die and featurs the cutest cartoon dancing since Charlie Brown. The way this is animated is also so perfect, and charming, and cute. They’re all loveable dumb dumbs!
Happy Monday!

Images by Toronto artist Kohsin Hong. I love the last one, it makes me think of my office and then I laugh out loud at the cubicle politics. Look at that guy who dropped into the laptop with work frustration! We’ve all been there. I want a print of this to frame for my cubicle, and then if the politics get to be too much I can look at that picture and laugh it off.
Working from home today.

Process art and final poster design for a modern take on the 1960′s classic film ‘The Dirty Dozen’. Collaborative project found via Behance.
I really love seeing process work and sketches. I’ve been thinking about that space often… the space between idea and conception. It’s that ‘limbo’ of time when you mark a few lines onto paper and through the eyes of the artist a few scratches of lead can be translated into a complete design.
Have you found any beautiful process work recently? Sometimes I find myself wanting to request a print of process work instead of a finished work. I’m entranced by it. That gorgeous unknown next stage… every time you walk by the unfinished work at home it holds so many possibilities for the next version of itself.
It is potential, and possibilities, and magic.
If you’re in the mood for silly illustrations, puns, and a generally funny dude you should check out Marc Johns. This is his illustration, “A New Trend in Chesthair”.
A few times a week I fall in love with a new cat via the amazing illustrations featured at Meowdoodle. Artists and graphic designers draw portraits of their cats, attempting to capture each unique kitty personality. I love collaborative projects. And kitties. And portraits. And illustrations. And Meowdoodle.

Look at this cute and energetic work from Mia Christopher! That second piece is called ‘Rabbits That Are Dancing or Boxing’, I love it! She works with a lot of different materials, but her style stays true. I enjoy that she’s not restricting herself, she’s an explorer with imagination. Read an interview with her here and visit more of her whimsical folk-ish art her flickr. Found via Seesaw.
I love seeing the personality of the artist come through in the line work of their drawings. That’s another reason sketchbooks are so exciting. The process, the mistakes, the overlapping ideas… It’s a reminder to experiment and get messy. No one has to see the ugly bits.
