This is round 2 for posters for girls. I got down to basics a little more this time, imagining what we all need to see when we wake up in the morning. To know its not just okay to be who we are, but when we are ourselves we shine — via Switcheroo

A collection of 300 paintings worth millions of dollars has been discovered in a Polish outhouse belonging to a 92-year-old former bricklayer.
Police are baffled as to how the paintings came to be mixed up with rubbish in a dirty two-storey concrete building in the bricklayer’s garden near the north-western city of Szczecin.
They said the collection included works of art from the Renaissance and German baroque periods, with the oldest painting dating back to 1532. They also discovered a lithograph by the Polish artist Jozef Czajkowski, which disappeared from a museum in Katowice during the war.
A local art expert quoted by the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza said it was impossible to place an exact price on the collection, but he was sure it was worth millions of dollar — via redwolf.newsvine.com

I love the Muppets. And with the movie coming out in the next couple of months, there is no better time for a fun little side project involving the best band ever conceived: Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
My idea was simple; create a vintage concert poster for each band member (Dr Teeth, Janice, Sgt Floyd Pepper, Zoot and Animal). Using clean, crisp vectors, negative space and few colours, I wanted to keep them as simple and stylised as possible; reminiscent of retro posters from back in the day — via Michael De Pippo
The poster series that I created for Dexter was inspired by mid-century modern design and particularly the work of Saul Bass – who developed both static graphics as well as animated title sequences. I’ve always wanted to design a title sequence, so it seemed like this would be a good opportunity. I collaborated with my friends at Fashion Buddha to create an alternative title sequence for Dexter using the artwork that I developed for the posters. This is what I imagine the Dexter title sequence might look like if the show had aired in the 60?s — via Mattson | Creative

When construction workers begin taking apart the old Bay Bridge, they will have to contend with a squatter.
The Bay Bridge troll, a 14-inch-high, snarling iron sculpture, has lived beneath the upper deck of the eastern span of the bridge since workers completed repairs after the magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
The quake caused a 50-foot section of the bridge to collapse, resulting in one death and forcing construction of a massive new eastern span, which is expected to be complete in 2013.
Now, many Bay Area residents wonder what will become of the troll, whose powers are said to have protected the bridge, and the 280,000 cars that cross it daily, from further troubles — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Have you ever listened to a song and your mind’s eye is immediately filled with visuals?
David Bowie’s classic space epic is one such song for me. Every lyric paints such a vivid picture that I figured Oh hey, I guess I’ll make that into a children’s book!
Yes, I talk like this. — via Kolb is Neat

Benjamin Harff, a German art student, spent a year creating a copy of The Silmarillion in the tradition of medieval European illuminated manuscripts. Most of the text itself is typed, but the elaborate calligraphy is Harff’s own work — via Neatorama
