The Art of “UP”

Pixar has yet to disappoint me (except for “Cars.” Sorry, not a race fan). Check out the plethora of beautiful concept art that Lou Romano so generously shares on his blog. I really love how he documents many parts of the development and production process here, including dioramas he shot for composition ideas, test digital animations to see how lighting would work, and research photos from South America.

Hassle-Free Re-decorating

Wallpaper usually reminds me of creepy haunted houses, batty old ladies and the like (or batty old ladies staring at you from creepy haunted houses). Why not plaster your walls with ginormous, colorfully fun graphics instead?

UK’s Surface View offers a variety of unique graphics for your walls and windows, so cool you will never have to step into a Home Depot for your decor again (which you wouldn’t do in the first place, right?!). For ideas and inspiration, check out how the prints would look mocked up with a room set (above).
