Crossing off another item on my 30 Before 30 list, #20: Learn to solve a Rubik’s cube.
Until recently I’d never even tried to solve a Rubik’s Cube. It kind of scared me and, after looking at one, didn’t make a whole lot of sense. I wish I could say I’m one of those people that could just see one and instantly understand how to solve it. Even when following directions, I had some trouble. But, after about two weeks of constantly working at it, I can consistently (and excitedly) solve a Rubik’s cube every time I try.
For those also not naturally Rubik’s Cube gifted, here is the tutorial I used: How to Solve a Rubik’s Cube. It had the easiest notation and was the simplest to follow.
To prove I could actually do this, I thought about putting up a video of me completing the Cube. But since it takes me an average of 3 minutes, I figured it might be a bit boring. So instead, here’s a video of the world record at 5.66 seconds.
Today is Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’ birthdays. Celebrate your love for adventure-seeking hobbits with a drink and a smoke, and don’t get too full on second breakfast!
Painter Simon Monk has created a masterful series titled Secret Identity. The series depicts photorealistic superhero action figures in plastic bags. My particular favorite is Clark Kent. I can only exist in awe of his talent. Absolutely beautiful.
Lego artist Matt De Lanoy has created a custom set of Arrested Development Legos. These are so awesome and I would definitely buy them if they were real. The stair car, blue Tobias, and the Banana Stand? Perfection.

Loving these hand-drawn Star Wars posters by Christopher Lee. He captures the key characters and scenes from each film in charming illustration. While Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the three, I think the original film’s poster is my favorite. And at only $35 each, it won’t break the bank to order all of them.
My name is Lynn Fisher and I am an artist and designer out of Chandler, Arizona.
By day, I design for meltmedia, an interactive web agency out of Tempe. By night, I paint, create, and blog things I find intriguing and beautiful.
I try to keep my work fun, reflecting my inner nerd and bringing humor to otherwise serious topics. I also love watching reruns of Top Chef, quoting the Office, and drinking obscene amounts of diet soda.
