Some Thursday Randomness

Movies
Took our son to see Finding Dory a couple of weeks ago and of all the previews this one was the one I most wanted to see.


I probably won't see Suicide Squad until it comes out on DVD but still looking forward to it. So far Harley Quinn is my favorite character.


Random Stuff
Artist Martin Vargic creates different maps, which can be seen on his website or in his book Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: Mapping the Modern World I really like the look of his Map of Literature.

Here are some interesting bookshelves just because...

Saw these first on Colossal (Site). Artist  Alfred Basha (Facebook) mixes trees and animals to make some beautiful images.

I liked the look of the Suicide Squad poster/s that Warner Brothers has released.

I'm not sure about the first look at the new Wonder Woman. I'm of an age that I have a very set image of Wonder Woman in my mind that, even though this sounds like it could be good, I don't know if I can get past the actual character image.

Random Things
Saw way too many things around the web this week but really liked these two.

Originally seen on Colossal (website) artist Ola Shekhtman creates rings from famous city skylines. The ones above are San Francisco and London. You can find all her items in her Esty shop (here).

Apparently this plush offered by Game Guardians on esty has been around for awhile. The demand for Falkor from The Neverending Story was so great that they now sell the pattern so you can make your own.

Fan Art
On a Doctor Who kick for some reason. Found it difficult to find any with my favorite, Donna, that didn't also have all the other companions in it.

Still in a reading slump, even trying series I know I usually enjoy is not working. In the meantime, I've been binge watching and falling into internet time sucks.

Around the Web
Saw this while on Colossal (link). I found both the music and the graphic calming and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Slowly Rising from kanahebi on Vimeo.

Rolling Stone did a great article on Adele (link), it's long but interesting all the same. Love her new song and cannot wait to hear more.

ART
Short film by artist Glen Keane called Nephtali. The art of both the ballerina and artist/animation is beautiful.


Loved these steampunk pieces from Sue Beatrice (All Natural Arts) created from Natural, Recycled and Upcycled Elements

Saw this table on Colossal (website). At this time with a ten year old boy I could never have a table like this but I love the whimsy of it.

Epic Reads did a column on beautiful end papers in books. I always love when there are detailed, well done maps in fantasy books. From the list they showed the end papers for Fairest by Marissa Meyer was my favorite.

I'm probably just missing them but I haven't seen as many book trailers lately. Liked the artwork in this one. Mark of the Thief by Jennifer A. Nielsen
