In the store, find a patterned shirt you like and then start holding ties up to it. Tell the clerk to buzz off - unless you're in a real haberdashery that has staff that knows what they're doing. Try to educate your eye for pulling colors. A bit of green in the tie compliments a shade in the...
It was just last week that a friend told me that the bad guy in Iron Man 2 was Mickey Rourke. I could NOT believe it until I went to IMDB. I saw IM2 and thought, wow, whoever that ugly guy is they got to play that is perfect for it. Can't imagine him every getting cast in anything else. Too...

One of my friends is using it to create the most unbelievable paintings - with a brush. The result has texture - mind boggling. The colors blend exactly as they would on canvas. She does sketches with virtual charcoal and smudges/blends it with her thumb. Some of the books-as-apps are a total...
