Jaco Haasbroek is not a new name for the E-junkie blog as we have featured some of his past works and yet again his work has caught our attention.

Haasbroek is a Cape Town, South Africa-based artist who works both as an illustrator and a designer who has an eye for everything colorful and a clever sense of humor. He creates hilarious illustrations by putting very normal objects alongside witty one-liners.

Haasbroek first sketches out his ideas on a piece of paper and then puts colors into it. His designs are pretty minimalistic and clean, and as for his inspiration - he shares, "I like making observations, looking for connections and changing my perspective to try and fuel new ideas. If you don’t keep exploring you might find yourself running on empty."

We at E-junkie are no art critics, neither are we professional artists but one thing for sure we love art and that is why we share all sorts of artworks and artists on our blog. Here's another arty post that I bet you all art lovers are going to love.

No matter who you are, an artist, an art connoisseur or simply someone who likes everything arty, what do you do when you want to buy or sell art? Go online, right?

Internet has made things convenient and almost everything is just a few clicks away, so is art. Buyers and sellers of art all across the world don't have to spend endless days, money and their precious time trying to buy or sell art, all that they need to do is visit the so many e-stores and simply begin what they want to do, buy or sell creative works like digital arts, paintings, photographs and so much more.

What happens when you walk into a coffee shop holding your iPhone in your hand? Yes, you are not the only one with the Apple device so what do you do to make your device stand out? Meet We Wear Wood!

We Wear Wood is a Salt Lake City, UT-based company where wood meets high-tech, they create unique wood covers and cases for iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks, that'll make your Apple device stand out.

These covers and cases are definitely eyeball grabbing and since they are made up of wood there is a natural beauty to them, realizing this fact the folks at We Wear Wood took to the whiteboard to create something that brings together low-tech beauty with high-tech power.

Nature is beautiful! Yes it is. It is pleasurable. It gives pleasure to all our senses, the sense of vision, listening, feeling and even smelling. That is exactly what Nicole Ringgold, a jewelry designer says about nature as her main source of inspiration. Nature inspires some to write, some to draw, some to sing and some to dance. But for Nicole, it is her jewelry designs which came out as the product of her love for nature.

Nicole says on her blog, "My artwork includes mosaics, painted furniture, river rock jewelry, and I incorporate all sorts of funky art with natural and recycled elements. I believe that art should be integrated into people's every day lives, and encourage others to think about how they can transform their living and work spaces to include art."

Missing the old days when all we had were the Atari and Nintendo video games for our entertainment?

Meet artist Adam Lister who just like you misses the good old days and has come up with his own version of the 8-bit graphics of the video games called the "8-Bit Watercolors".

Lister is a New York-based painter who creates amazing pixelated paintings of famous artworks and pop-culture characters using nothing but watercolors.

Social commerce is a subset of eCommerce where buyers rely on each other to discover new products and in one way or the other influence their shopping decisions.

The term 'Social Commerce' was first introduced by Yahoo! in November 2005 to describe "a set of online collaborative shopping tools such as shared pick lists, user ratings and other user-generated content-sharing of online product information and advice."

Well, the good thing about social commerce is that it helps buyers seek information about any product they want to purchase without investing a dime. There's no doubt that social commerce, these days, is the talk of the town and with n-numbers of social commerce tools out there, I know as a merchant, it's hard to make a choice but with us in the picture you don't have to worry. Here are 5 social commerce tools that every merchant should use.

'LazyTurtle', does the name sound like "its just so me" to you? :P

Isn't it amazing? We got someone who appreciates our laziness.

The products at the website make it more interesting. To know more about elements behind the website, read on our exclusive interview with the founder of LazyTurtle.

Well, no matter you are selling on Etsy since its inception or just joined it today, the key here is to understand what your customers want and how the other etailers are running their business, and when it comes to understanding how your competitors are running their Etsy shop, why not learn it from the best, the 'Etsy Heroes'.

There are many Etsy sellers who fall in the 'Etsy Heroes' bracket and are running their Etsy shops successfully. Take a look at some of the top big sellers on Etsy for this month:

Brett Kern is a talented ceramic artist who's work is not only perfect but whimsical as well.

One of his recent works, New Work is a series of ceramic sculptures that look like inflatable balloon toys like dinosaurs, astronauts and more.

These sculptures look very similar to inflatable balloon toys in all aspects. Kern has perfectly mimicked every detail of a inflatable balloon toy, from the wrinkles to the appearance, everything is too perfect.

When these sculptures first grabbed my eyes even I mistook them for being balloon toys, it was later in that I realized that these are clay-made sculptures.

Apart from exchanging gifts and watching the Christmas movie marathon another awesome Christmas ritual is sending out Christmas greeting cards.

The best thing about greeting cards is that with every year passing the greeting cards get better and better. But when I say that I am only referring to the style, the graphics are still a lot more same - dull and overused. So how about this holiday season send out some cool, witty and at the same time geeky greeting cards to your loved ones.

It's Saturday once again and with this day, today our holiday shopping guide edition comes to an end. Sad but not that sad because its Christmas time, yay!

This time instead of helping you shop gifts for your loved ones with specific taste we thought of sharing a more generic holiday gift guide.

No matter what your loved ones love but these 10 gifts can make any one happy. From something to everything this list has everything for you. So buy something you like and spread a smile on your loved ones face.

What's the best thing about Etsy? I'll give you four options to choose from:

1. It's an eCommerce website that has helped a lot of people in starting their home-based business and giving wings to their dreams.
2. It's one place to buy a variety of products ranging from art to food, clothing to toys, etc.
3. A perfect place to look for talented and creative artists and crafters.
4. All the above.

If you choose option number 4 then you are going to love this one list!

We all know that Etsy is a great platform for selling and buying handmade and vintage products but the fact that it has an active and lively community where people share, connect, inspire and motivate each other is also not hidden from anyone.

For the parents when the child decides to choose one of his parents' profession is the ultimate proud moment. Though for most of the parents this happens in a later stage of life, when the child is all grown up but for a professional illustrator Mica Angela Hendricks this proud moment came a bit too early.

It happened so that one day Mica bought herself a new sketchbook that she had especially ordered, she had just drawn a lady's face that her 4-year old daughter noticed that her mother had got a new sketchbook for herself and asked her if she could also draw on it. When Mica told her that she was going to draw a body on the lady's face, her daughter insisted if she could do that, she grabbed a pen, took the sketchbook from her mother and gave that lady's face a dinosaur-like body which was beautiful and carefree. And that's how this artistic collaboration began.

Mica would draw a face and her 4-year old daughter would complete the sketch by drawing the body. Once the sketch is ready, Mica would add color, highlights and texture, giving it the final touch. The best thing about these sketches is that neither Mica nor her daughter knows what's the sketch is going to be about.

I recently stumbled upon this very awesome website called Made To Solve. This website features products made with the purpose of solving problems and is made for life-hackers.

Our this week's seller of the week - Figs + Ginger is a family owned design and craft company, owned by a lovely couple Rhonda and Elijah Wyman.

Figs + Ginger makes eco-friendly sterling jewelry, gifts wedding and party goods. And is known for the Bird Nestling Mother's Necklace (like the one on the left).

Each of their piece is made by hand and is generally based on forests, or things you could imagine finding on a walk through an enchanted one.

The couple set-up their company in 2007 and jumped into the wholesale market in 2008. Initially, it was a roller-coaster ride for the couple but today Figs + Ginger products can be found in museum shops, catalogs, national and worldwide chain stores and can also be bought online.
