I wish I could say that I'd taken this photo, but I have an 8"x10" of it in my hot little hands anyway. Over here, when I was doing the draw for a print that eventually ended up on the Emerald Isle Darlene over at Daisies was also doing a print draw (photographic). Guess who was the lucky winner? Do visit Darlene's blog if you get a chance; her photography is beautiful and her writing inspired. Plus she's a much hardier soul than me, living in Edmonton in winter.

On the lighter side:

Something hilarious for fans of lolcat: have your blog translated by the lolinator "or, ah'm in yur webb site, re-writeen yur wurds! (RLY!)" (Thanks, Rudy.)

And since we're making a mockery of all things feline check this out.

Finally, these amazing images remind me of when I was teaching secondary art. One of the assignments I gave my students was to design a mechanical animal, either a cut-away view of its hi-tech 'guts' or the animal itself, re-designed as a machine. I did it as much for my own enjoyment as for pushing kids to think outside the box.
