A Guy's Guide to Pinterest

Pinterest has quickly become a household name, particularly in households with females who like to cook, craft and create.

While there are a few men adding pins to their boards (around 20% of pinterest users are male), it seems as though this number is growing quite rapidly.

Just since we've joined, we've discovered some great guys to follow with some pretty cool imagery to look at. Here's our list of Pinners (is that what Pinterest users are called?) to check out: 

• Des Ryan - Great Automotive Design
• Jeff Davidson - Ink and Boudoir Photography Inspiration
• Tim Sullentrup - Graphic Design and Branding
• Andrew Firstenberger - History, Portraits and Music
• Maverick - Bachelor Pad, Cinema and B&W Photography
• Daniel Perez - Gaming Art
• Xatanas - Pop Culture, Anime, Geek Art
• Chris LeCactus - Music, Movies, and Books
• Petr Mikeska - Landscape, Nature and Travel
• Steven McGaughey - Logos, Products and Prints
