The
Internet is my playground. I love looking stuff up on Wikipedia. I love finding
odd websites. And when it comes to blogs I look for the strange, the mundane,
whatever. One thing I enjoy doing is after taking care of my own blog, I will
click on “next blog” in the upper left corner and see where it takes me. I
spent an entire afternoon once happily learning all about a certain pre-school
in New Zealand from a blog one of the teachers has. Sometimes I will come
across a blog in another language with no translate function, but if there are
a lot of pictures, I’ll look around anyway. Here are a few of my favorites that
I’ve bookmarked and like to revisit.
French
Manhole Covers
I
love art in almost any form and, especially when it’s art for art’s sake. A
manhole cover does not need to be attractive. It needs to be functional. These
French ones are works of art.
Japanese
Manhole Covers
I
first learned of these from a friend who lives in Japan. I found this site and
was amazed at the intricate beauty of these. There is also a link to the
official site of the Japan Society of Manhole Covers where there are a TON more
pictures. That site is in Japanese, so just start clicking on stuff and you
will find pictures.
Bored
Panda
Wonderful
place to stroll around in. Always something different. I’m always on the
lookout for inspiration for my artwork in a lot of the sites I go to. This has
it. It will also take you all over the place.
Things
to be Happy About
If
nothing else, you can go here and find at least one thing to be happy about in
your life. If you can’t, then you need to call someone to come over for
company.
Marc
Johns
This
guy is so talented I can’t stand it. While I would never be able to imitate his
art style, I do get inspiration from his work. Great stuff!
I
hope you check some of these places out.
These are some really cool sites!! The manhole covers are really cool!!
