heh heh heh...I love it!

looks like layers of photos to me too...the hair looks sunlit from above, while the face appears lit by a softbox (you can actually see the softbox in her eyes now that I look again)(my degree is in photography btw...hard for me to not geekily dig into images) The breathing effect is nice.

and yea, someone get that poor girl some CGI Visine!

I miss the Ideal toy company - I remember they made a lot of stuff, like this, that had a very major impact on my brain. Hell, Mousetrap alone could be to blame for who I am today, and the art I make.

btw - Just checked ebay - no examples of Ideal's Bing Bang Boing up for auction - too bad. I should just go out to the shop and build one actually :)

to #53 - you can't be a high school student. You write well, make perfect sense, and read boingboing. You aren't fooling anyone! (I'm teasing...I was the same at 17)(btw - keep up the good work, our kind seems to be getting rarer with each generation)

This is nothing new. A brand new authority force with no proper checks on their operations was created to "protect us" and this is what we get...big surprise. You want your stomach turned? Go read this - http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig3/monahan1.html -

and then run a search on 'TSA horror story' and you will find tale after tale. It is sickening.

OMG I love the VonStilt family!!!!

(btw - look for me, stage left floor in the fedora :-)

YAY steampunk treehouse!!!

one of the greatest projects I ever worked on.

Way more pix here: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=steampunk+treehouse&z=t&ss=2&s=int

"But why would he say that a real fly's wings are a less than optimal shape? Flies seem to be dandy at, flying..."

Good thing they didn't set out to make a robotic bumblebee then ;-)

And I thought I was lazy for buying Bisquick (which I have long used to make a couple pancakes at a time)

btw - am I the only one to notice that Batter Blaster and BoingBoing have the same initials? I smell a conspiracy...a buttery, mapley conspiracy.
