The hustle bustle of city life and the everyday chaos of modern living do more harm than good to the health of each and everyone of us. More often than not, we need to get in touch with art and humanities to make ourselves less stress and more complete.

If you have no budget to buy exotic paintings, then simple Nintendo Papercraft is the answer to your inner artistic calling. These paper art feature folks from Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Mario, Kirby and other friendly Nintendo characters.
Models can be downloaded and made with your family and friends. Woot.

Steve Purcell has once again amazed the massed with some artwork that he sent to Dalixam at The World of Monkey Island. Apparently, that lucky guy Dalixam got an email the other morning from Mr. Purcell of some artwork that may or may not be related to a new Monkey Island project.
