Intriguing pieces.

The level of detail in the work of autodidactic Arij Moka is next level type-a-shet. Just plain crazy. Based out of Leipzig, Germany, Arij spends months on a single piece, and years on a series. Moka’s work is certain to impress, and if not – get your vision/head checked.

The amount of hype & human / physical resources that are given to the Superbowl is nothing short of staggering. Meanwhile there are issues and events occurring simultaneously on the international scale, that make such a game seem over-esteemed and silly – especially when the Broncos get blown out by 35 points 😛 .
