Perfect stocking stuffer for that special someone! Much less messy than coal! 😉
Shaving the other day for the first time in a couple weeks, an image of the old Wooly Willy toy popped into my head. I was going to name it Scruffy Scott but +Kristi Fahlsing said I had to use "Scotty". lol

Because +matthew rappaport is a stand up(side down) guy! 😉
So, hey, it's almost 1am and I get a notification suggesting I hang upside down and take a picture. Well, you don't ask other people to be willing to do something silly without giving back. Though, I gotta say, it's a lot easier to get under a desk for #InternationalTakeAPictureUnderYourDeskDay than figure out which camera app has a timer and then jump over the back of your couch. 😉 I thought +Jo Lane in her #10MinuteHero Cowgirl uniform and Bighead +Jim Gomes would be the perfect companions for this stunt. They didn't complain one bit.
So… this one's for Matt!

Amazing Firefly artwork. I am a total sucker for the mash-up styles depicting characters as children. He published this early November but I am only just now stumbling across it; so I figured some of you might be as slow as I am.

Hoping to be the first +Mar Mai "Secret World of Halfdan and Fluffy" fan-fic. 😉
Don't know the talented +Mar Mai or her sister in crime +Mary C.?! Go check them out. Oh, and of course, +Halfdan Reschat and +Fluffy McSharkah Khan.
The official (not mashed up) "Secret World of Halfdan and Fluffy" can be found in three part harmony here, http://goo.gl/49VYN (part 1), and here, http://goo.gl/1xxk1 (part 2), and… here, http://goo.gl/hTESi (part 3).

Ran across this surfing. I love the mash-up potential of My Little Pony with The Walking Dead. 😉
EDIT: More "Trotting Dead" here:

Did you not mark your calendars? Shame, shame. Let's not leave +Jo Lane hanging. She's kinda the inspiration and founder and, little known fact about Jo, the "AL" in "International". Add a link to your pic in the comments. And, mind your noggin.
Already home in your time zone? Kitchen table or coffee table will suffice.
It's Friday. You aren't really working anyway.

How is it that some things that we just absolutely should know about just escape our attention for so long? So much heart for this song.
Thanks to +Andrew Head for starting a chain of events that let me to something that brings me joy. It's appreciated, man.

From +Robert Partridge's last Friday night hangout! I did not make it until late, so I know I missed a bunch of participants. But hey, I have plenty of shelves and jars! For the life of me, I do not remember exactly how heads in a jar came up. I blame +Mellie B. Or +Mary C. (shh… yeah, I know they were not there while I was). Although… Kyla is the one with the horns in this picture… So many likely candidates. Thanks to Robert for pinging me until I showed up. 😉
In no particular order… +Robert Partridge (okay, that was in a particular order) +Charlie Hoover +Carrie Canup +Benjamin Partridge +Michael Bennett +Kyla Myers +Jim Gomes +Annette Holland
Special thanks to Pico-Labouata from deviantART for the Futurama jar template. http://goo.gl/a5LkU

Mellie B, like, was totally trying to tell me that I, like, stole her last Hello Kitty band-aid (http://goo.gl/55HF1). I was, like, no way, eh!? Like, for sure she purchased the, like, rad My Little Pony band-aids. Then she, like, way tried to submit some, like, phony proof and all just because she, like, had a photo and that's, like, real and stuff. Whatev! I totally found the real photo. You can, like, tell, too, eh! It has a Canada logo on it, and like, we would not have that in the U.S. because we are so arrogant and stuff. So, like, busted, +Mellie B. Bust to the ed. Nyah.

Typing with a band-aid is like having a dead finger. Next sentence typed in dead finger mode. Can you guess it? 😉

Ah, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Bro said they were still doing early voting so downtown we went to early vote. As we drove into the parking lot, a guy pulling out told us that they were turning people away. Bro said, "I bet he just saw your bumper sticker." We walked up to check anyway. It was 12:34 and we were told early voting ended at noon. I asked the woman turning people away, "What's the point?" Her answer, "It's the law. It's a statute." Oh yes, thank you. You can vote early. Well, except for half a day. Seriously?
And Charlie had to die on LOST and the numbers made sense and the show creators had a plan for the show the entire time. Yup. That all seems much more plausible to me today.

I owed a mash-up to +Zara Shore for her guess-work on a mystery image I posted (http://goo.gl/Is11p) back in September. Her guess (way out of context here) was a tire encased in Jello. So, logically I thought I would encase her head in a pumpkin. I was shooting for Halloween but I missed. I kept the pumpkin, though, because putting her head in a Thanksgiving turkey is just weird.

I praise G+ for a lot of things, but mostly for the incredible people I have the privilege of interacting with on a daily basis. Recently, +Mar Mai was introduced to my circles by a number of respected peers. She is an incredible artist and storyteller who has released her first graphic novel in Amazon Kindle format. I have been a bit behind the curve lately, but I downloaded and read it last night and, though I expected it to be terrific from the reviews of my peers, it still blew me away. I urge all of you to go check this graphic novel out! It was on a free preview, but if it is not any longer, it is well worth the price! p.s., this would make a great wishlist item for G+ +Secret Santa 😉
Link to the book on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B009P87Y66
I posted the following review on Amazon:
Imagine if Robert Lynn Asprin (Myth Adventures) or Terry Pratchett (Colour of Magic, Discworld) wrote and illustrated in a mash-up style of Manga and classic Saturday morning cartoons. This was my first impression reading The Dragon Tutor. Like ingredients in a favorite recipe, all of the elements complement each other beautifully, satisfying your senses but leaving you wanting more. The story is cute and engaging, with enough hooks to give depth to the world in which it's set, but not complex enough to require a map and glossary. The characters are funny and interesting. The artwork is both beautiful and quirky moving not only page to page, but frame to frame.
After seeing the second panel with the red birds on the window ledge, I knew I was in for a treat. From the full panel of the Southern Elf Queen to the many zany facial expressions, the art itself is very much a part of the personality of the characters. While you enjoy the art, be on the lookout for Easter eggs; "Live long and prosper" is the only hint I will give you. The lettering, often an afterthought in illustrated stories that use a more uniform style or even a standard font, is drawn to the style of each panel lending even more character to the overall tale. The coloring of the letters varied a bit within panels and I was not sure if this was by design or something that happened in processing, or just my laptop monitor. I mention this only for the author to address if needed and in no way does it take even a sparkle away from my rating. The story jumps a bit in moving the plot forward but all was forgiven here too because I was anxious to find out what came next so it served a selfish desire. Truly, though, regardless of my desire to see what came next, I would have welcomed the author captivating me even further in her world by fleshing out the transitions from scene to scene, adding more to the back stories, and going on even longer tangents (such as the dragon shopping trip, which was hilarious).
To sum up, this is truly a book for all ages. I can totally picture myself standing in line with my 12-year-old daughter, my 14-year-old nephew, and even a few adult friends making a night of it waiting to buy our own copies of the next volume – in old fashioned print, even! – because none of us would want to wait long enough to share! Kudos, Mar Mai, I am hooked.
[EDIT] I got the book for free but it's well worth the price. I think I read somewhere it was $2.99? Heck, if someone misses it for free and that is the deciding factor whether they get it or not, I will commit to purchasing two copies for other people. If they enjoy it, pay it forward. Or not. Up to you. But I think you will. 😉

Another tempting design from the folks at ShirtPunch. Apparently it really is easier for them to have a website than to just hit me over the head and take my wallet. Who knew? 😉 Plus, less than 24 hours and it's gone forever. Curse them and their knowledge of marketing and scarcity as it applies to demand and decision making!

Okay, well not really. But +matthew rappaport suggested +Keith Cramer and I do something like this (http://goo.gl/73H71) and I wanted to see what it might look like.
Quickie Photoshop + these two boobs = Scary! 😉

I would love to put this in my car but my windows are tinted to dark. Maybe it would add to a spooky appearance? If you are looking for one, I originally saw it on eBay but found it much cheaper on Amazon.

If you have not already read it, heard it, or had someone stop into your office, Disney is buying Lucasfilm for 4.05 billion dollars in cash and stock.
From the link:
“This transaction combines a world-class portfolio of content including Star Wars, one of the greatest family entertainment franchises of all time, with Disney's unique and unparalleled creativity across multiple platforms, businesses, and markets to generate sustained growth and drive significant long-term value.”
