Done and done.

Luckily, I Can’t Crochet

Lately: every time I turn around I come across something handmade that I love. I have to say that I feel slightly inadequate because I have no ability to sew, or crochet, or paint. Good thing there are plenty of crafty people out there to fill this void.

“[This is] his own Annual Report project, which visually represents his time and activities for that past year. Each year his Annual Reports have attracted more and more attention, and perhaps as a result, Nicholas has taken each past report to new heights. This year is no different.

Harry Potter, Only Better

Feast your eyes on these fabulous cover re-designs of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Needless to say, if these covers had been published instead, I might have actually read the series by now.

I know, right?

See more of this style here and here. It’s incredible stuff.
