Pinhole Art.

Every so often I get in a mood where I want to take on something monotonous. I can get lost in a good stipple project or organize the hell out of my studio. In fact, I’m in one of those moods right now, but my fine tipped pens are all dried out and my studio is already in order. Enter pinhole art, which only requires a piece of paper and a thumbtack. Check and check. It’s on. {via Design*Sponge}
