We hope you enjoyed looking through Nate Frizell’s sketchbook a couple of weeks ago. This time, we take a look at some of Yoskay Yamamoto’s (interviewed) creative process as we flip through his sketches.

In 1944, the B17 Bomber “Sentimental Journey” rolled off the Douglas Aircraft Company’s California assembly line. With it’s eight thousand pound payload capacity and thirteen .50 M2 Browning machine guns, the B17 aptly earned it’s nickname, “The Flying Fortress”.

Jeff Koons & Damien Hirst Prices Drop 50%

Posted by sleepboy, January 2, 2010

Two of the biggest stars of the art boom in the latter part of the last decade, Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, were bound to feel the effects of the down economy.

Remember when we first told you about the Ghost Village Project in October of last year? Now comes the completed video of the massive project.
