Apr 8, 2011 03:39 PM

WonderHowTo is pleased to introduce Yumi Sakugawa, who first graced our front page last week when featured in the David Lynch meditation post. Yumi is an artist and illustrator currently working on a 100-page graphic short story collection, and she's officially joined the WonderHowTo team as our lovely in-house HowTo artist. Yumi will be illustrating hints and tricks for the thrifty DIY spirit as an ongoing weekly feature—tune in at noon tomorrow for a first peek into her WonderHowTo World of Secret Tips from the Yumiverse! (To keep updated on Yumi's comics, you can follow her here or join her world here.)

Here's a taste of what's to come... (it's not exactly a viable HowTo, but it's sure to put a smile on your face):
