Jennifer Maestre is a sculptor who makes extremely pointy (and beautiful) pieces out of bunched nails and highly sharpened pencils.

Jennifer Maestre (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I’ve always maintained that if you put enough of anything together, you have art.
