IMO the 3 most inspirational books for any long distance runner:
1) Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
2) Eat and Run by Scott Jurek
3) The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances by the legendary man from this video – Matthew Inman.
If these books don’t get you running I don’t know what will.

Happy 50th to the Doctor and his TARDIS.
Here’s a collection of my artwork that I felt would be appropriate for The Day of the Doctor! The paintings starting from the top are All of Time and Space, The Roar of Our Stars, The Turn of the Universe, The Parting of the Ways, and The Lonely God. (The bottom four are licensed through Big Chief Studios / BBC!)
Thank you to everyone who has supported my art throughout the years! I really appreciate it and couldn’t have gotten this series done without ya’ll.

When viewed up close - these works of art by Shintaro Ohata appear to be part of the same piece. Instead, the stylized sculptures are seamlessly "lit" by the painting behind. Beautiful. Check out more at yukari-art.jp

Joss Whedon Stars In Felicia Day's Geek And Sundry Series Written By A Kid
Ever since Felicia Day previewed her show line up for Geek & Sundry, a Youtube channel catering to us geeks, we’re been pretty excited for the premier of Written by a Kid — the show promised us “children reading stories set to short films by various directors,” so what could you possibly not love about that? As it turns out, there is nothing you could possibly dislike about this series, and if you find something, the demi-god Joss Whedon will smite you, because he stars in the very first episode. This week’s program features 5-year-old Brett narrating the epic tale Scary Smash. The episode also features Kate Micucci and David Foley. Just try not to get too overwhelmed by possibly the cutest child ever and our nerd-leader occupying the same 4-minute video.

Mom’s Tattoos Balsa Wood Letterpress Business Cards

Filmmaker Jeremiah McDonald, now the proud populator of Tell Me to Draw Something, produced a wee video dedicated to his future self twenty years ago. Here, he reviews it and talks to the boy he was at 12.
Despite the trappings of irony that we all now need to take any kind of poignant pill, it hits the “what happened to me, to my dreams cast asunder?” button hard. I’m fairly sure I had a letter to Future Me written someplace but it can’t be much more substantive than this. And I wouldn’t want to see my too-oft-drawn PyNk BuNnIe character again, actually.
With all this said, and considering Jeremiah’s current choice of pastime, it does beg asking: what aspects of your surely dynamic childhood creativity have you forsaken in favour of nourishing the talents that now serve your career? There may be gems in there waiting for exercise and a reigniting of passion. In businesses like advertising and design, this sort of Memory Lane slumming can only serve you.
