Wang Yue, a senior at Dalian Industry University, uses her paintbrush to turn ugly tree holes into lovely views in Shijiazhuang, capital city of Hebei Province.

Wang Yue calls the tree-hole paintings “meitu” which means “beautiful journey.” The paintings on the trees have brightened the city during the dull, grey winter.

Pam is one of the Bay-Area’s most notable DJs, having gained popularity as a member of Oakland’s the Coup, Pam remains an icon for aspiring DJs everywhere. I guarantee she is an inspiration to all female DJs. Currently, she rocks parties as a freelance and featured DJ as she runs a catering company in Foster City called Piccadilly Catering where her Louisiana heritage is highlighted within the cuisine. She’s a true mixologist.
