Pencil. On. Paper. That’s all Melbourne-based artist Paul White uses to create his insanely detailed illustrations of vehicles and the occasional landscape (sometimes together in the same piece). From junkyards full of obsolete cars to graffitied passenger vans to partially deconstructed airplanes, White resuscitates each one if only for a moment in time. (Anyone else getting Max Max-ish vibes?)
If you can use a little extra luck lately, check out these Good Luck Charms. A beechwood wishbone, a four leaf clover, and a feather that can be bought separately or as a bundle together would be great to keep as a collection or gift to friends and family.

St. Patrick’s Day is one of those go big or go home holidays. Either you love it and celebrate brashly, or it’s basically just another day. With green eyes, a name like Kelly, and a wee bit of Irish heritage I’m in the former camp. And while I don’t request the day off work, I am out the door at the stroke of five and headed to the nearest pub a mere six blocks from the office. Today will be no different.
A few Irish goodies for you:
01. Irish Stew
02. Shamrock Cake
03. Homemade Irish Cream
04. Irish Soda Bread
05. Irish Potato Candy
06. Car Bomb Whoopie Pies
07. The Irish Mojito
08. Steak and Guinness Pie
09. Chocolate Stout Cake
10. Guinness Chocolate Bread Pudding
11. Irish Brown Bread Ice Cream
12. Shrimp in Jameson Cream Sauce
13. Red Flannel Hash

Did you know that you can’t get Shamrock Shakes at every McDonald’s? Most people I’ve met here in Oklahoma have no clue what they are. Because St.Patrick’s Day is only 21 days away, and because my name is Kelly, and because this looks delicious I give you this copycat version.

March is here and in my mind that means one, and only one, thing – St. Patrick’s Day! I’m loving these Irish tees from Haha Press. Limited edition runs of 50 shirts for each design.
