Comic Kurt Braunohler successfully raised $6,000 on Kickstarter so he could hire a plane to write a joke above LA. The result: See photo above.

David LaFerriere is not only a designer but also possibly the coolest dad ever: Since May 2008 he has been doodling on his kids’ sandwich bags with a Sharpie marker. I love how progressively more awesome and detailed the drawings get over the years. Browse through them all over at his Flickr.

(Hey Sharpie: Get in touch with this guy for your next ad campaign.)
