  • Hipster Soap Opera

    I spent the past week or so working my way through 5 years worth of Questionable Content back archives. It’s a web comic strip. On April Fools Day, this super geeky comic that I love, XKCD switched comics in a round robin “prank”. I read a few, and was kind of interested in the characters.…

  • Back to the Top of the Slide

    Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel’s cover of Helter Skelter is surprisingly awesome. Oh sure, it lacks some of the zen koan like absurdity of his throw a rock into a lake video. But, what it lacks in inscrutability it makes up for in disturbing images of war and violence and Bill Shatner like ironic song stylings.

  • Today is the Day

    I have no idea what Today is the Day is going on about. It’s surreal in the weirdest ways, but it is foamtastic.

  • Lasagna Cat

    Lasagna Cat is crazy weird. Somebody has done a bunch of live action recreations of Garfield comic strips. Each strip is surreal enough on its own, but then they tack on these crazy music videos. Very, very strange.

  • Brilliant, Awesome Viral Video of a Drum Playing Ape

    Cadbury’s A Minute and a Half Full of Joy is one of the best viral videos I’ve ever seen. I defy you to watch this to the end and not smile. Every time I see it, I laugh out loud. Now, I want some chocolate. The only problem is that there doesn’t seem to be…

  • The Thumbs of Fate

    I had no idea Roger Ebert was so powerful. Thank goodness there is The Thumbs of Fate comic strip to set me straight.

  • Jen Stark – Incredible Construction Paper Sculptures

    Wow! The construction paper art that Jen Stark creates is truly amazing. I can only imagine how much work must go into one of those. They are beautiful and playful at the same time. Very nice.

  • Helping Kids Create Cool Creatures

    The Kid Creatures over on DrawerGeeks feature monster illustrations that are created and inspired by children’s original drawings. It’s an interesting concept. It’s like the pictures that the kids would have drawn if they only had more sophisticated illustration skills.

  • Art on the Web

    Artist, Nicole Maynard, creates a new work of art each week and displays it on the blog Art Weekly.

  • The Daily Monster

    Stefan Bucher is creating Daily Monsters from ink splotches. I always wished I had classic illustration skills. Watching these monsters come together with such a sure hand is sort of amazing. It’s a little like watching Bob Ross without the the creepy personality that you just know is going to snap one day. He’s making…
