Youtuber FlippyCat used 7,000 dominoes to recreate Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’.
It required two attempts (the second took 11 hours), and It’s not entirely successful, but a final well-aimed domino completes the scene.

I was in the National museum the other day and I noticed a print of an Albrecht Dürer sketch of 16th century Irish soldiers and peasants. If you look closely at the two lads on the right I think you may find the first historical evidence of Hipsters in Ireland. Gave me a chuckle anyway
Movies R Fun

Josh Cooley, a Pixar story artist created ‘Movies R Fun’,a collection of illustrated movie scenes done in the style of a kids book . Unfortunately it’s sold out so you’ll just have to enjoy them online instead.
…while simultaneously unavailable here.
The Library of Congress has released a short-ish list of the books that “shaped America”.

“…so many of them banned in Ireland e.g For Whom The Bell Tolls & the Grapes of Wrath, the Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, the Lord of the Flies and the Color Purple, presumably also a few others. There’s a great expo of books banned in Ireland (including the above, and ffs, Gulliver’s Travels!) here.
Created between 2005 and 2008 by Russian artist Dimitri Tsyalov. Long since rotted away. Such is life.
Delve further into Tsyalov’s oeuvre (a Rolls Royce made of wood, a meat gas mask, knitted credit cards, etc.) here.
Tomy’s BattroBorg20 (released in Japan next month and priced at around 4000¥/€40 euro each) lets you control the movements of a tiny bot with nunchuck style controllers. You punch, it punches. Like a squee version of Real Steel.
Real Squeel, if you will.
