The truth about sitting down

Sitting Kills Infographic

This infographics just confirmed what I was thinking all along — that sitting down for extended periods of time has made me gain weight, slowly, but surely over the past couple of years.

For those like me who are on their computer or desks for long stretches at a time (I’m talking to you, artists, illustrators and fellow bloggers!) remember to take a break and walk about every 15 to 30 minutes to get the blood flowing again!

Consider this a health advisory message from Pikaland! 😉

Anatomical Nesting Dolls

Stuntkid

How amazing are these nesting dolls by Jason Levesque – aka Stuntkid – made for an upcoming show at the Rothick Art Haus? I may not have known what the innards of a matryoshka looked like before, and now that I have, a part of me still wishes that I don’t. Of course it’s mostly a wow for me, although there was a “ewwww, gross” moment when I first saw it! The good kind, of course.

Love these whimsical stamp sets created by Patricia of Memi the Rainbow. She’s an Italian girl living in Paris where she studies art. In between studying, you can find her crafting up a storm at her little studio! See here to see more of her studio, via Etsy’s Open Studio and also keep up with her via her blog.
