LEGOS!

Fuse #8 posted this lovely lego guy on her blog:

That got me to searching for some other children's lego figures:

Then of course I couldn't resist wanting to post these:

PLEDGING FOR MONEY

I've noticed a trend lately. Businesses asking for money. Specifically certain businesses like bookstores and such. I understand why. Times are tough. They're small businesses, they maybe didn't buy the right insurance to cover for certain catastrophes or whatnot... but what I wonder is this: can we all ask for money? Can I raise money for an apartment? I've been struggling and getting nowhere for a long time. Can I ask for people to donate art for my cause and raise money because my landlady is going to kick me out because she wants to gut the place and raise the rent? Can I ask for 100,000 for all of my health bills? Can I ask for money because I got in a car accident?

Okay, okay, I'll stop. Am I sounding heartless? I feel like families and individuals are going through their own things and people lost their homes and they're not putting up webpages asking for new homes. Businesses fail. Or are supposed to. That's what happens. We're supposed to help people first. Maybe I"m wrong about all of this. I'd like to hear from others about this because I'm sort of working it out in my mind still....

ODD VEHICLES

Oh research... I found these funny car photos doing some research for a new book idea:

NICE CUP ART

When I'm working on a project I always go image hunting. While doing this I inevitably stumble upon other cool images. Here's one:

I love art done on objects meant to be tossed away.

Alice in Wonderland (1903)

Wow, I've never seen this before...

MMM... PANCAKES!

Here's a good one. The witch gives the boy and his mom some LSD... ahem... I mean blueberry pancakes. Awesome. 

DO THESE PROGRAMS THINK THAT KIDS ARE ON DRUGS?...

Or are THEY on drugs?

I'm going to find some more "drug induced" program bits. Stay tuned.

WILD THINGS CLAYMATION

It seems I've been a little flaky with the posting lately. I've been busy... just not sure as to what that entails. Anyway, check out this funny old claymation video:
