6. Mad Men Cartoons
Dyna Moe a colorful artist with a love for the popular AMC television series ‘Mad Men.’ A fan of the show, Dyna Moe started out by drawing a scene or character after each aired episode.

7. Abandoned Models
Model Kaja Werbanowska is featured in a spread titled ‘Princess Lost In Captivity.’ Looking lost indeed, she walks around aimlessly in the castle’s courtyard.

8. Bewildered Model Shoots
Giving the fall season a new bewildering and enticing outlook, this Vogue Italy October 2010 spread emits an eerie vibe.
Presenting the models in a variety of expressions, the editorial is undeniably intriguing due to the portrayal of different emotions.
9. Sleek Socializing Spaces
Wooden clubhouses may become a thing of the past if designer Jairo Lucena has anything to say about it. The Habitbox is a social gathering space designed by Lucena to “encourage socialization behaviours.”
10. Desert Exploration Spreads
This Elle Spain November 2010 editorial takes the fall season to sizzling hot temperatures.
Taking place within a desert, the spread features a model that explores the sandy grounds with a camera in hand. Looking fabulously fitted to her surroundings with her bright golden locks and fabulously layered fashion styles, the model glows throughout each and every print.

12. Carpe Diem Lookbooks

13. Fab Four Footwear
Artist Christianne Jackson customized these Beatles Converse shoes as a present to her boyfriend. Each mini-scene is painstakingly drawn by hand using permanent markers—a cranked-up version of the way we used to draw on our Converse kicks in school.
14. Distracted Juror Drawings
If you thought that there was no comedy in the courtroom, then you need to check out Chris Roth’s ‘Jury Doodles.’ Artist Chris Roth recently spent seven days on a jury in which me managed to help settle an odd case involving a stripper while drawing tons of hilarious doodles.
15. Altered Skype Photography

18. Perilous Painted Pumps
We’ve featured Etsy artisan ScholarlyArticles’ painted pumps before, but these Venus Fly Trap Mary Janes add a degree of danger to her collection. The Reaction by Kenneth Cole pumps are hand-painted with Venus fly traps for a prickly pair that’s sure to draw stares wherever you wear them.
19. Struggling Warfare Emotions
The illustrations in ‘Faces of War’ depict the human emotions soldiers face throughout battle from start to finish.
