onomatopeia

is a word that sounds like what it is. Without them, where would comics be? You could not have a “boom”, “whack”, or “pow”. And looking at them, you have to admit they are kind of beautiful too. Check out this flicker set.

Real Live Pokemon!


Well, maybe not “real”.  And maybe not “live”.  But sorta.  

We’ve been trying to figure out a way to make Pokemon’s debut in The Bowl and Worth1000 “nose” the way.  Check this out; about 50 or so Pokemons make the transition into the photo world across their two contests.

Styles Of Animation #2

Okay, so now I have to admit TV commercials can be good.  United Airlines has been doing a great campaign, giving home to styles of animation not seen elsewhere.  I particularly LOVE this one (which is very reminiscent of David Eisner’s work).

Another good one of theirs is this one below.  Here’s to paper cut out animation!

Oops! This Lego Is Even Bigger!!!

My son just corrected me.  The Millenium Falcon is the second biggest LEGO set.  It only has 5,195 pieces.  The new Taj Mahal set has 5,992 pieces and boy is it beautiful.  How long do you think it would take to build?

The Biggest Lego Set Yet!

This is Model 10179, Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon. It weighs more than 20 pounds and consists of 5195 pieces. It took the builder and his son about 30 hours. The completed model is about 33″ long, 22″ wide and 8″ tall. This video shows each step of assembly from the instruction manual.  


All I can is “wow”.  I was very impressed when my son built the new Ferrari set for his Granddad this past Father’s Day…
