Creative Dreamers

If you think of freelance service, especially on the mirco-tasking level, you probably think about websites like Fiverr, Upwork, People Per Hour and similar platforms. While each of these have their own pluses, they can also come with some serious challenges.

Some such challenges include challenges dealing with the platform’s regulations and hidden or surprise fees for both the freelancer and the buyer as well.

In the hopes to solve this problem, at least on a small scale, the site FreelanceZone was founded earlier this month,

Herer is a little digital art piece celebrating 2026! May all the readers of this blog and those you hold dear have a wonderful, healthy and prosperous new year!

As some readers may know, I like to experiment with a number of art media. This includes unique and one-of-a-kind clothes and wearable items. I wanted to share the following that are no being featured in a cool online shop I’ve connected with called Humor Depot.

First, there is the “Spaghetti Shirt” which I describe as “The perfect shirt for young children or messy adults who tend to get splashes of pasta sauces, greasy cheeses or toppings from awesome Italian food on themselves while chowing down. No need to every worry about stains again because with the color combination of this t-shirt, stains simply became part of the pattern!”

Second, are my custom crazy socks which I describe as “Arch support, re-enforced toe, Y-heal for better fit. You can choose up to 3 colors to be included in your original, one of a kind design.”

If interested, check them out at Humor Depot. Shipping and tax are included!

Back when people thought the Earth was flat and wrote their notes on papyrus, I was in high school lol. Well, not quite that long even though sometimes I feel like it. One quarter I took pottery and let me tell you, it was tough. I got an “A” but more based on effort than quality for sure.

Fast forward to today. We recently got by niece some air dry clay for a birthday and I got to thinking – maybe this can be a bit of “pottery for dummies” if you will.

My findings – it can work out pretty well. You just have to realize you should buy a quality air dry product, which can still gladly be inexpensive. Second, once you open it, make sure you either use the either piece of clay or store it in an air-tight package so it doesn’t dry out and become useless.

You can even paint the clay after it has dried.

It might be worth exploring for anyone interested.
