Came across these big bunches of gorgeousnesses recently. Jim Rugg is an artist from Pittsburgh who has an upcoming show where all he uses to make art are ballpoint pens and notebook paper. I used to use the same medium back in school and they looked nothing like this. I am seriously in awe of these so much that I am not sure what can be said about them. Remember those pens though? The ones with the multicolored ink, and hey would have like little buttons on the side where you could push and that particular color would come out? I probably ran through twenty of those in the early nineties. Along with slap bracelets. Also, a deer shooting an automatic weapon is always a good call image wise. It's either Bambi versus Godzilla or that. Here is the press release for the art show: "The title is pretty self-explanatory, as "NOTEBOOK NERD" almost says it all. JIM RUGG, the Swiss Army Knife of artists (and longtime iam8bit collaborator), gives us an insane perspective inside his brainhole, exposing the terrors and delights that populate his thoughts every, single day. While his comics "Street Angel" and "Afrodisiac" have already been dubbed classics by the indie scene, Rugg's art in this show is different. It's truly an exercise in precision. His only tool: the mighty ballpoint pen; and his unlikely canvas - spiral-bound notebook paper"
