This Sketchbook Full of Synthetic Skin Helps Tattoo Artists Practice

Posted on by

This is creepy, but also cool. Most artists get to practice their craft until they are great at it. Tattoo artists don’t have that luxury. Their medium is flesh and people have to live with their mistakes. So they practice on things like oranges and raw chickens. Not anymore.

Brazilian ad agency Lew’Lara TBWA was commissioned by Tattoo Art Magazine to create a sketchbook filled with pages made from artificial skin to help tattoo artists. So the SkinBook was created. Now artists can now test out ink new designs and techniques easily. The pages even come pre-printed with body part images.

Now there is really no excuse for a bad tattoo.

For Your Million Dollar Ideas: Napkin Sketchbook

Posted on by

Napkin Sketchbook

JK Rowling wrote down her ideas for Harry Potter on paper napkins, which is now one of the biggest franchises of all time. I’m sure a lot of other people made it big by writing down their ideas on napkins, but she’s the only one I can think of right now. Inspiring story, though, isn’t it?

If you want to have a similar story about how you made it big, then you might want to get one of these Napkin Sketchbooks. At least you’ll be able to say you came up with that amazing, multi-billion dollar idea after jotting down your thoughts on a paper napkin–even though it wasn’t by whim or chance, but due to calculated moves.

The sturdy case comes with 10 napkins and a Sharpie to get your started. It’s available online for $38. It’s pretty steep, so you might want to get a hundred-pack of napkins from your grocery instead for much less.
