Do you consider your body a great, blank canvass for decorating with tattoos, piercings, and other odd embellishments that didn’t come standard? Then you’re in the company of millions of people around the world in all times and all walks of life who are creators, or at least wearers, of body art.

Photoshop Evolution
Over the years, few software titles have been used more gratefully by artists of all stripes than Adobe’s Photoshop.

Tattoos have, since ancient times, been associated with tribal identifying markings in parts of the world as diverse as the Americas, and the Celtic lands. In the middle of the 3rd century AD, Emperor Constantine banned tattoos, and after that they were widely viewed as something not to be done in civilized society.

Art and Science of S’mores
You might not think of s’mores, that classic, campfire dessert item, as being very artistic. After all, you kind of just smoosh everything together to make them. There’s not a lot of style to it. Roasted marshmallows might take some skills, but beyond that, it’s generally just a smoosh. S’mores are linked with recreational camping outdoors. Some of the enjoyment of this easy campers’ dessert is the preparation of it.
