Dear Fork,

I understand that we haven’t spoken since I ran away with the dish, but I thought you should know that you have a son. His name is spork. He has your hair.

Sincerely,
Spoon

This makes me grin. I like to grin.

Really though. His expression! The color splash amidst the grey! Heck yes.

 

Much more at his Flickr!

Side effects may include: grinning til it hurts, joyous tears and a happy swelling heart… Or just joy. Which totally works too.


The most impressive thing about this particular flashmob? No instruments were used. The “human orchestra” mimics the sound of trumpets, violins, and drums, among other instruments.

The crowd, made up of more than 500 actors, dressed up as taxi drivers, cabin crew, baggage handlers, and members of the public. They burst into dance sequences throughout the day as an estimated 80,000 people passed through Terminal 5 on arrival.

[Alessandro Gottardo] https://fernlim.com/bits/462/mmmhhh-alessandro-gottardo/ https://fernlim.com/bits/462/mmmhhh-alessandro-gottardo/#comments Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:31:24 +0000 Fern http://fernlim.com/bits/?p=462 (The title being the sound of appreciation I involuntarily made when I saw this image.) This is flippin’ fantastic.

I love images that make your mind flip. And this guy’s illustrations are full of mind flips. Not brain-hurting mind-numbing mental gymnastics… but a (probably deceptively) simple, rather whimsical wit-flip that I thoroughly enjoy.

He’s got a book out too… I know what I want for Christmas!

I’m guessing this guy doesn’t usually look this happy on a Monday morning.

That’s the beauty of this Improv Everywhere mission!

“He looked up at the sky, which was covered by a thick layer of stratus clouds that moved slowly across the landscape. He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen the sun. Then, to the south, a small hole opened up in the cloud and a beam of light split to earth, warm and welcoming after the prolonged winter and dismal spring. The pool of bright sunlight fell to earth two fields away, startling some sheep who had forgotten they possessed shadows. Then the hole closed again, and soft, directionless light once more settled on the earth.”

The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde, p331
