{ Who's the Painter }

Have you ever been hard pressed to answer who is the painter to famous pieces of art? Or just want to plain out impress your friends with your high brow art knowledge? Maybe you have an AP Art History Exam to ace and don't really feel up to memorizing every nuance and detail of every painting. I love the direct bluntness of the descriptions! I wish my art history was this fun. Now I did find fault in a few, but over all this was a funny lil' observation so definitely check out the rest.  {via}

{ How Many Humps? }

well not really humps, but how many camels are you worth?
It's a silly online test site, and on this bleak, rainy friday I figure we could all use a little laugh... and it's been ages since I did a good post. Don't worry this isn't a good post per sea, but at least it's a post!

Be sure to do kilograms instead of pounds for weight. I messed up the first time, and apparently was weighing in at 900lbs (cause I entered pounds) and ended up being worth zero camels! lol! The picture is my actual camel trading value. Enjoy and feel free to post your results in the comments! {via}

{ Help Build the Death Star }

A while back I read about a campaign to get the White House to build a Death Star, but unfortuantely the administration wasn't really feeling it, eventhough it had more than enough signature. I mean couldn't they have let the Death Star fans down gently?  Well, now it appears the people have taken the matter into their own hands with Kickstarter, a sweet lil' funding platform for creative projects. They are making decent headway on funding this ridiculous project, but still have a ways to go. Here are a few of my fave moments {via}:

• £300,855 pledged of £20,000,000 goal
• To keep costs lower the entire project will use open source hardware and software.
• The only risk is the power of the Force.
• and Finally this image, paying a lil' homage to one of my faverite movies, The Hudsucker Proxy

{ Kanye Wes Anderson }

This was too good not to share. Kayne West lyrics matched up surprisingly well to Wes Anderson (movie) screen shots. Enjoy! {via}

{ Stray Cat Strut }

 this lil' cutie just wanted to show off at the ol' Univision Studios.  {via}

{ This is turning out to be one cat filled blog }

Alright, I know the cat thing is getting a little out of control, but who can blame me? I feel like I've only posted the best of the best... ya know, the stuff you'd want to come back to for an, awwwww or half heart filled chuckle. Needless to say, Cats in Space is all that and a bag of chips! Enjoy!

{ PhotoShop's Evil Powers }

Although, I suppose it's only evil for the person who is being manipulated in photoshop-ed.  Well Alex + Oli has taken it upon themselves to edit his friend, Jame's facebook photos. A+O takes photos of James and tweaks his face ever so slightly, just enough to really piss off his friend... or maybe soon to be ex friend, James. I'm loving the comments at the bottom, courtesy of ol' pissed off James. To the left are a few of my faves, Enjoy! {via}

{ You're Welcome }

for some reason it's being lame. So click for animation.

{ That Poor T Rex }

No, I'm not talking about Marc Bolan's band, T.Rex, but the oh-so-ferocious prehistoric beast, Tyrannosaurus Rex. But being ferocious isn't all it's cracked up to be if he lives in the modern world. I mean, just look at those arms! too tiny to function effectively. No wonder he gets all pissy and bitey. Either way this tumbler, TRex Trying is rockin' my sox. {via}

{ Cat Scan }

Found this too cute tumbler where visitors submit pic of their cats on a scanner scanned! What you lookin at kitty? Don't you know I don't care to see your butt... ctm.

{ I'll Take them All }

Found this retro site via A Beautiful Mess, and one clicked led to another, and here I was, on a page with hundreds of vintage black cats (in for an audition). This is so fabulous! I mean, so many of the same kitties! and look at those cute old men and spinsters ladies. {via}

{ Beetlejuice on Community? }

How did I miss this? Well I guess if I'm honest, I wasn't a huge fan of Community for a while, I think it was season one's Halloween episode that first won me over.  But apparently for the past three seasons, the word “beetlejuice” has found its way into the script of Community , and we all know what happens when you say Beetlejuice 3 times. Be sure to pay attention at the third scene's background... clever! Hopefully this doesn't get cut, I'd hate for this show, now that it's won a place in my heart, to get the axe. Enjoy!
list of episodes from the clip...
1.16 Communication Studies
2.08 Cooperative Calligraphy
3.05 Horror Fiction In Seven Spooky Steps.

{ Heavy Weights }

It appears as though the heavy weight titans of nbc's thursday night line up is gettin ready to rumble... and boy do I hope it's fo'reals.

{ Eye Candy: Cats + Classic Works of Art }

Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus

Who doesn't love a good classic work of art? Now infuse it with kitties (or one very cuddly looking orange cat) and I'm lovin' it! Great Artists' Mews does just that and very pompously too... check out this exert: Our name is Zarathustra. We are a cat. According to our assistant (named by ignoramuses as our “owner”) We are the best cat in the world. By the will of the gods, We have been relieved of our animal desires, therefore Our postprandial time  is given to the reflections on lofty matters. We are so gracious in Our enjoyment of repasts. And We are also very very fond of Art. {via}

{ Too Good Not to Share Infographic: Anatomy of an Agency }

I suppose since I am sorta the 'Art Director' (actual title being Senior Graphic Designer) at MedMaps and John my stay at home dad / Developer (for freelance and M+J) this was particularly amusing to me. Enjoy! {via}

{ More Rubbish }

Ever had to bullshit your way through a review or artist statement? Now there is a sweet artist statement generator, to help you out with artist block... here's a sample of the Arty Bullocks Generator: My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and multimedia experiences. With influences as diverse as Wittgenstein and John Lennon, new tensions are crafted from both explicit and implicit layers.{via}
