Painting monsters
Hello there,
Long time lurker on old accounts that was too afraid to post. Wanted to post some of my art as it's good to get new eyeballs on it. I paint monsters and nationalism at the moment and have plenty of inspiration to work through.
I will now shut up, this is no doubt the wrong place to post these. I can't do anything right. I am sorry, moderator.

ButtyStock - the number 1 free crisp sandwich photo site I made this!
See all 20 popular links (1 made popular today)
I hired several people to each produce around 100 photos of crisp sandwiches, paying them with hundreds of bags of crisps.
Some fell by the wayside under the weight of the challenge (and looming best-before dates on the slightly dodgy crisps), others rose to the occasion. All must hate me now, but luckily none were hospitalised with salt poisoning.
All the pics are released under CC0/public domain, and I'll probably add a few hundred more at some point.

Autobiographies2
It's been 13 years since we last did celebrity autobiographies so we felt it's time for an update. Pick your favourite (or most hated) celeb and think of an amusingly relevant title for their book. Then design the cover (again).
