Gonzo: A Graphic Biography of Hunter S Thompson by Will Bingley and Anthony Hope Smith.
Over the course of Hunter S. Thompson’s extraordinary life he was publically branded a bum, a vandal, a thief, a liar, an addict, a freak and a psychopath. Some of these were true. Yet, even when compared to the most significant figures of the 20th century, his legacy remains a brilliantly vital force. This is his story – the story of a troubled kid who went on to become an international icon, a story that plumbs the darkest depths of American society and charts the now-legendary adventures that birthed Gonzo journalism and a lifestyle beyond imagination.

Le Flaneur: a haunting time-lapse video of Paris composed completely of sequenced photographs by Luke Shepard, a student at the American University of Paris.
Canadian student, Lance Cardinal was an avid collector of Pallisades Toy Company Muppet Show character figures and playsets. When the company went bust in 2006, much of its proposed range was cancelled, including the Muppet Theatre Backstage set.
So Lance built his own from scratch, complete with lights, working drapes, trapdoors, rigging and backdrops. The level of detail is just mind-blowing.

Mr Monaghan, a father of two and spokesman for the Pobal Chill Chomain community group which opposes the route of the Corrib Gas pipeline on health and safety grounds, said that the incident happened [October 13, 2006] between 8am and 9am as the protesters marched behind gardai on the public road.
On the tape, Mr Monaghan can be heard talking to another protester and referring to a garda wearing a high-visibility jacket immediately in front of him.
Mr Monaghan: “Do you see the XL on the thing — that’s his mouth.”
The response from the man alleged to be the Garda: “It’s my cock and your fucking wife will know all about it. I hope you’re recording all that now, John.”
Mr Monaghan then said: “Any more comments about my wife?”
