I promise it’s complete serendipity that this Quip No. 100 is about the new 100 dollar bill, which, um, sucks. Shown: front and back of the new “design”. It’s not that the existing is that great, but this is totally aimless.

Jessica Hische strikes again: Thousands Under 90 pokes fun at the design competitions that celebrate a certain number of designers under a certain age, like Print’s “20 under 30”. As long as you are under 90 you can give yourself an award and a lovely screen certificate.

Given the current popularity of the sandwich-bag-drawings link, here is another obsessive-creative parent to whet your appetite: Every night, since 2007, Nina Levy has been drawing on a napkin for the next day’s lunch of her two kids. These are more like commissions since the kids make requests. Link goes to the image grid on her Twitter feed but full info and archives can be found here.
