In less than a decade, her extraordinary skills have propelled her from doing street murals to fund her studies at The Fine Arts Academy of Ankara, to owning and operating her own tattoo studio in Istanbul, and most recently, opening a new studio, Atelier Eva, in New York City.

It started in 2014 with the purchase of a vintage 1956 Oliver Courier typewriter. Now 7 years, 35 typewriters, and nearly 100 works of art later, James Cook is a bonafide typewriter artist.

According to his website bio:

James draws his inspiration from artist, Paul Smith, 1921-2007; a Philadelphia-born typewriter artist who suffered severe cerebral palsy his entire life. Smith produced intricately-detailed drawings that are stamped with thousands of letters, numbers and punctuation marks. The control and precision of the mechanical typewriter helped Smith through his cerebral palsy to produce a portfolio of work spanning nearly 70 years.

He also adds that he is able to do larger drawings by hot pressing together sheets of paper and that each drawing cam take between a week and month to complete.

Below we’ve included a gallery of some of his works along with videos that show some of the process involved in creating each amazing drawing. For more, check out James’ work at the links below!

We’re big fans of David Zinn at the Sifter (previously featured in 2017 and 2012) and he continues to delight the residents of his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan along with fans online around the world.

David has been quite busy in 2021 putting up tons of new pieces all around town and we love each and every one of them. Using chalk means they are impermanent, and the way he continues to incorporate elements of the city into his artwork is just wonderful. Residents stumbling upon a new piece will surely have their day brightened. For more, check out David’s work at the links below!

Artwork by Murvyn Lowe

I love this painting by Murvyn Lowe simply entitled, “Bee”. The artist shared his latest artwork on reddit pics and people loved it.

For me, it’s the size of the face compared to the size of the body (and those tiny legs!). The first time I saw it I chortled. If you’re interested in prints, you can find them for sale on his Etsy page!

You can also follow him on Twitter and Instagram.

Tyler Foust (featured previously here and here) shared his most recent artwork and it’s fantastic. 3 circles (1 hidden), drawn with a single, continuous line that does not intersect.

For those curious, the line starts just to the left of the black circle (at the perimeter, approx. 9 o’clock). And like all of Tyler’s previous works, if you look hard enough, you can find his signature somewhere in the continuous line

For more, you can find Tyler’s work on Instagram and Etsy. Tyler says prints will be available on his Etsy page on December 4th.

Some assignments given to children are destined to leave a parent insulted or puzzled or laughing inside.

In this case it’s probably all three.

TikToker @valiifdz recorded her son showing her a picture he drew of her for Mother’s Day.

“Thank you so much!” she says enthusiastically, stifling her laughter.

“Is that my smile?”

Yes. Yes it is, mom. The truth hurts.

And why is there a moustache?

“You have a little moustache just like I do,” the boy says without a hint of snark while he touches his “moustache.”

“You’re right,” Mom responds.

It’s great they’re on the same page… As awkward as it may be.

This mom finds amusement in the picture her son drew, but she doesn’t insult or shame him for it.

Watch the full clip.

Here’s what people are saying.

The number 11! That’s a brilliant way to describe it. A lot of commenters think thought is what he was drawing.

Maybe but a literal moustache is funnier. “Loving and positive” is the right description.

Haha! It’s true! Not that I would know, being a hip aunt and all…

Aw that’s so precious. It must make everyone smile!

Your son gave you cartoon dog jowls? Amazing.

Move over, Dad. Your wife and son have moustaches to shave.

Some figures of authority think they can mess with average people just because they have to power to.

In this story, this boy had a hard time in school.

Apart from having ADHD, their principal would reprimand him for small, petty things, like doodling in his notebook.

His mom did not appreciate these incidents, so when the right time and opportunity came, it was his mom who got payback on his behalf.

Read the story below for the full details.

Don’t Mess With People’s Kids

This all started about 18 years ago, when I was 13.

At the grade school I attended, we just a got a new principal, and I’ll call him R.

This guy did not like me and my other 2 friends, but me especially.

This boy had a health condition that would make him focus on drawing.

I had ADHD and was medicated for it, but that only made me focus on whatever I chose to focus on, and that was always drawing.

Every notebook I had for every subject was filled with doodles.

This never affected my grades terribly.

I was an average B/C+ student, and there were subjects like history and science that I loved and always paid attention in and received A’s.

He received a pink slip that his parents should sign.

One day, during one of my doodle sessions in math class, my teacher got annoyed that I wasn’t paying close attention.

And wrote me up for drawing in class (classic pink slip to bring home to my parents).

This did not sit well with me as I had started to entered my rebellious teen phase, and I drew all over that pink slip.

Every inch that didn’t either have text or my parent’s signature was covered front and back with doodles.

The principal reprimanded him about the pink slip he drew on.

When I handed it back in the next day, my teacher looked annoyed by my smug smile and my total lack of care toward authority.

He just calmly put the pink slip in his desk and went on with class, and I continued to doodle.

Fast forward a couple of days, Principle R stops me in the hall and starts reprimanding about the drawing pink slip.

He threatened to call my parents over it and give detention.

He was sent to detention, and this annoyed his mom.

I told him, you see their signature.

They have obviously seen it, and that I didn’t care if I got detention because I would not stop drawing.

He gets mad and gives me detention.

This annoys my mother who believes that the whole situation was blown out of proportion.

Until 8th grade, the principal would always call him out for petty things.

This was not the only time we butted heads.

From 7th to 8th grade, I was constantly in his office.

Never for serious things, and always for stuff like being loud at lunch, not paying attention, or silly petty things.

He started applying to different high schools.

At the beginning of the second semester, we all started applying to the high school we wanted to go to.

This was private school, and the high school that everyone in the school went to was a private school.

So, we needed either a recommendation from the school administrators or you had to be interviewed to get in.

The principal didn’t give him and his 2 friends a letter of recommendation.

Well, Principle R refused to write a letter of recommendation for me or my two friends.

And we had to interview to get into the high school we wanted to go to.

We all were able to get in from our interview,

But this planted the seed of resentment in my mother and she never forgets anyone who messes with her or her children.

His mother got a position in the high school he was attending.

Now for the revenge:

Fast forward to 4 years, I graduate from the high school.

My mother had joined the administration board for the high school while I attended.

She had decision-making powers when it came to hiring at the school.

Even after I graduated, she maintained her position on the board because she also was an alumni of the high school.

Principal R applied to become the principal of the high school he attended.

The year after I left for college, the current Principal of the high school decided to leave his position.

During the search for a new Principal, R’s resume is submitted to the board for the position.

Like I said, my mother never forgets people who mess with her.

Principal R did not get the job.

Even though R was fully qualified and pretty much the top candidate, my mother convinced the rest of the board that he would be a terrible choice.

And they should hire an internal candidate (a current teacher) to become Principal.

Needless to say, he did not get the job.

And they had to move to a new city.

After this, he and his wife ended up moving to a new city because she had a job opportunity in a different city.

Fast forward to another 4 years, I graduate from college with a degree in Graphic Design (like I said, I never stopped drawing).

And my mother’s revenge plan is not over yet.

When R didn’t get the Principal job, she had still kept tabs on him.

His mother told Principal R everything.

He and his wife fell right into the palm of her hand for her final act of revenge.

She sends him an email telling him that the boys he antagonize when he was a Principal graduated with degrees, and all had jobs in their fields.

She also told him she was the reason he did not get the principal job at the high school.

She also said that the job that his wife has that they moved for was to work directly for my cousin who is now her boss.

What a revenge!
