Quick Pic: Parkland High School

Parkland High School

Parkland High School in Allentown Pennsylvania bears an odd resemblance to Han Solo's smuggling ship. Officials deny that this is anything more than a coincidence, but their piddling attempts at Jedi mind tricks will not work on us. We know a YT-1300 light freighter when we see one.

Opened in 1999, the school got off to a rough start. The first three or four graduating classes were held back until someone finally found a hydrospanner and got the Commencement Drive back in working order. Now, you can matriculate in less than twelve parsecs!

Quick Pic: The Simpsons at Chernobyl

The Simpsons painted at Chernobyl by Combo

French Street artist Combo recently ventured to Chernobyl, a place where not many people have visited in the past decade, to put up this mural of America's beloved animated family. The Simpsons seem to be having a great time in the mural, picnicking on a grassy mound, even as the nuclear power plant is seen menacingly in the background.

Quick Pic: Pantone Eggs

DIY Pantone Easter Eggs by Jessica from How About Orange

"The graphic designer in me couldn't resist attempting faux Pantone Easter eggs. I dyed these boiled eggs, then typed up the labels and printed them on ink jet temporary tattoo paper. Remember to print the words backwards! (I used Silhouette brand tattoo paper I bought at my local PaperSource, but you can also get similar stuff from DecalPaper.com.) And yes, I'm such a nerd that I had to match the color numbers properly using my chip book."

Quick Pic: Dalek Egg

Dalek Egg by Nancy Sims

For a friend who's birthday is right around now. Not quite to scale, but the blue rings, and eyeball, for example, were beads I already had that were just too cool to pass up. With advice and information from the lovely Project Dalek people. Who were slightly nonplussed at the "egg Dalek" concept, but supportive nonetheless. Full documentation of the build to follow.

Note that I do not have, nor do I claim, any ownership of Doctor Who or the Dalek characters. Thus, while it's fine with me if you use this photo (Creative Commons licensed) the people who do own those properties may object...

Quick Pic: Stargate: Atlantis Eggs

Puddlejumper Egg

The puddlejumpers are small transport ships on Stargate: Atlantis. They go through the stargate, and are shaped like ziti. I thought it wouldn't be too hard to make an egg into one, but it was a pain in the neck. Didn't get good shades of gray out of the dyes, and had to go over the black lines with pen, post-dyeing. However, the actual lines and shapes are (from screenshots) about as close to accurate as I could get them. Did this one a few years ago.

Milan soccer fans put up a huge Pac-Man mosaic during a game against Barcelona. The text says “LET’S EAT THEM!” Now that's what I call nerd spirit! Via: Kotaku

Quick Pic: Snow Art

Snow Art by Cedar Beauregard

Via: Reddit

Step by step this massive snow drawing was trampled into freshly fallen snow by artist Sonja Hinrichsen with the help of 5 volunteers last month at Rabbit Ears Pass in Colorado. I love that a piece so expansive and yet so temporary can be created with a few pairs of well choreographed snow boots. If you like this, also check out the beach drawings of Jim Denevan.
