2004: Black Ink and Pencil on Paper (Amazing Detail!)
Ink, pencil and charcoal were my favorite techniques in high school and college and I still favor them today. What amazes me about this piece is the attention to detail, and knowing how much patience and care was needed to create this.
Bass Clef

I love the website's tagline "playing notes so low, you can't even hear them."
From Wikipedia: When the F-clef is placed on the fourth line, it is called the "bass clef". This is the only F-clef used today, so that the terms "F-clef" and "bass clef" are often regarded as synonymous.

Photos: World Sand Sculpture Festival 2009
via pinktentacle.com
Not only do they have the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, it turns out they have World Sand Sculpture Festival as well. Awesome.
I'm guessing they don't need to worry about the tide coming in and wrecking everything.

Cool Lamp or Trebuchet Prime for Laying Seige to a Castle?
via i.gizmodo.com
"The Brave New World Lamp, as it has been dubbed, stands at nearly 6-feet tall using a combination of oak and cast iron balancing weights."
I love the design and intricacy of siege machines, so of course I think that this is freakin' cool. Now to figure out how to somehow convince my wife to feel the same way ...
Thanks to @jwegis
Marathon of the Sands: Grueling six-day foot race across the Moroccan Sahara
via sacbee.com
"The 24th Marathon des Sables or Marathon of the Sands took place recently. The grueling six-day foot race across the Moroccan Sahara is one of the toughest in the world. The race covers 151 miles but was shortened this year because of bad weather. Many participants give up before reaching the finish line because of the rugged terrain that ranges from sandy to rocky. The daily average temperatures during the race are 86 degrees. Competitors run as far as 50 miles a day and are required to carry their own water and food. Water is rationed and handed out at checkpoints."
