There is probably a great rationale behind the creation, but I just thought this made perfect eye candy for a Monday.

I've known quite a few people that wrote sweet messages on their children's brown paper lunch bags. I thought it was really cool, so I did the same thing for my sisters for a while.

Todd McLellan's works are like real life Dismantlement games except there isn't a bomb to worry about.

If you are intrigued by my vague mention of Dismantlement, check out the addictive, short point-and-click flash games.
