Squid Versus Shark by MATTY8080

A good fight should be awesome. An awesome fight should be great.

Have majestic squids ever wrestled with vicious sharks? And I am not referring to anything ever televised on the Sci-Fi Channel. I’m talking about real squid and real sharks and real, true fury — via Etsy

Explore museums and great works of art in the Google Art Project

One of the things I love about working Google is that you can come up with an idea one day and the next day start getting to work to make it a reality. That’s what happened with the Art Project—a new tool we’re announcing today which puts more than 1,000 works of art at your fingertips, in extraordinary detail — via redwolf.newsvine.com

A nice day at the beach with the Fail Whale and some Tumbeasts

Last week was crazy apeshit bananas. First, I launched my State of the Web comic where I requested that Tumblr used my TumblBeasts as a down time mascot. Four hours later I got an email from the founder of Tumblr, and subsequently my TumblBeasts became the new Tumblr 503 error page. They renamed them from TumblBeasts to Tumbeasts (I preferred TumblBeasts) and they now stand as the face of server failure on the Tumblr network.

After that, it got picked up by ReadWriteWeb, Mashable, Business Insider, and CNN. Crazy apeshit bananas?

I THINK YES!

Zombie Octopus

So tonight after finishing my painted Skully & Crossbones on Livestream, I still felt like creating something. I invited the people watching to come up with something cool and I would paint it. They asked for a zombie octopus wearing a Shaun of The Dead shirt. So here we go! Killamari I think they called it?!

Thanks for those of you who were hanging out, and sorry to those who couldn’t get in because it was full. I believe that will be fixed soon.

If you feel like sitting through about 2+ hours of it, you can see it here in two parts — via sirmitchell
