Hilarious Illustrations That Will Help You Figure Out If You’re An Adult
It seems like adults were always our worst enemies when we were kids. Always ruining a good time. We weren’t allowed to eat candy for breakfast, they made us go to bed at a reasonable hour on school nights and a good education was so important that we had to wake up at the most unreasonable hours to get it. Now we’re the ones that are trying to eat balanced meals, and attempting but failing miserably at balancing fun and getting adequate sleep before work tomorrow. This is our life now, this is what we have become. Continue reading »

The Day After Tomorrow: Eerie Concept Art Depicts Earth After The Apocalypse
I like to introduce you to the dark visions of Noro8 aka Norbert.
