Posters: Fringe Warnings
Fringe Warning Posters by Christian Petersen
Available for purchase on Etsy
Price: US$18
You should always be weary of extra-dimensional, non-Newtonian experiments when it comes to the world of Fringe. Now you have no excuse for falling into a parallel universe or accidentally ingesting nanotechnology.
Installation: End Piece
"End Piece" by David Hall
To coincide with the end of analogue TV in the UK on April 18, this exhibition by video art pioneer David Hall features the new commission ‘1001 TV Sets (End Piece)’, 1972-2012. The work features 1001 cathode ray tube TV sets, of various ages, all tuned to random analogue stations which, as the signals are turned off between April 4-14, will gradually change the sound in the space from a cacophony of overlapping audio to a hiss of white noise. It is currently on exhibit at London’s Ambika P3.

Mash-Up: Firefly / Big Bang Theory
'The Big Bang Theory' reimagined as 'Firefly' crew by Megan Levens
It's no secret that the nerds on "The Big Bang Theory" are fans of comic books and sci-fi. It appears that the feeling is mutual as a Los Angeles storyboard artist and comic illustrator has re-imagined the "Big Bang" cast as the crew from "Firefly."
Personally, I would have drawn Leonard as Mal and Raj as the Doc, but, then again, I can't draw. So, that settles that. Penny, however is perfect as Tam River. I love it.

40 Wonderful Sci-Fi Wallpapers From Out Of World
The Art Career Project - You and your parents don't need to worry that a degree in art will lead to starving in an attic, because there are many attractive careers requiring artistic skill, including medical illustration, video editing, 3D animation, automobile design, museum curator, landscape architecture, and more. Read about the careers here - what the work is like, what training and skills are required, salary range, etc.
Felix Salmon muses on why art prices keep rising. On the way, he discusses why some art becomes super-popular: "Fine art has become the billionaire’s-club equivalent of a Louis Vuitton bag, slathered in logos. It’s not connoisseurship which drives values, so much as recognizability. Which in turn helps to explain why the most prolific artists (Picasso, Warhol, Hirst) are also the most expensive: the more of their work there is, the more exposed to it people become, the more they’ll recognize it, and therefore the more desirable it is."
