Flying ship models. Gorgeous craftsmanship, and they really fly!

Really cool examples of pixel art. We spend so much time trying to get the perfect brush for photoshop, that it is easy to forget how cool illustrations can be when they are created one pixel at a time with the pencil tool…

And sadly, illustrator Sheilah Beckett has died at the age of 100. She became an illustrator in the 40's and worked for Coronet, Esquire, and American Artists Greeting Cards. The Female Illustrators of the Mid-20th Century blog has a great article about her career.
