How do you… stretch a background image?
The trick to stretching an image in the background is to not have the image in the background. Instead, it is placed on the webpage (like any other image) and everything else is layered on top of it using css.

Mouse Cursor Affordance
When styling your website with CSS, in some cases you may lose the correct cursor type for certain elements. It’s important to retain this indicator as it will inform the user about how the item they’re hovering over can be used (see affordances). The solution is easy: if the cursor type is wrong, specify it using the CSS “cursor” property.

Hardgraft | Handmade Lifestyle Accessories
Every so often I find something that just literally BLOWS me out of the water, tonight is one of those nights. I came across Hard Graft, via Styleboost, Hard Graft is a company out of Austria, that creates hand made cases for all of our priceless accessories, in which include; your iPhone – yeah they got a case for that. But the thing I like best is their sleeves for the great Macbook. Not only are the sleeves functional and practical, they are just downright beautiful. I Can’t get over the look. 
Begining A new
Starting new… fresh, and hopefully a little more frequent. My goals for this blog will be as followed:
1) To write my thoughts pertaining to art.
2) To showcase my artwork.
3) To have fun.. I think that is in all’s honesty, the more important part, to make my blog fun, and not so much of a chore, or something that just sits there.
I am hoping that I will be able to contribute more of my work, and be motivated and inspired by such amazing artists that I will be able to add more and more things to this blog. I think that one of the biggest mistakes that especially a new and young artist makes while blogging, is that we have no concept of time and patience, if our blog or site isn’t up and running and on the tips of everyone’s fingertips as soon as we post, we feel like faliures… but we just need to be patient, and write for ourselves.. That’s what I need to be doing it writing and blogging for my own self, and if others want to join the ride… I’m more than happy to welcome them… I just need to remember to do this for me, first and foremost.
