2012 Olympic Cauldron

My favorite part of Friday night’s Opening Ceremony – other than the Queen’s chubby corgi dogs – was the lighting of the cauldron. Of course this is always one of the most dramatic parts of the event, but I love the way London 2012’s cauldron designed by Thomas Heatherwick feels more like an art installation than anything else. Brilliant. Check out more photos here.

Landscape

When I was about ten years old I became obsessed with drawing pool parties. And in them the girls diving into the water were always drawn with their hair hanging down, as if they were hanging upside down instead of throwing themselves into a body of water. It made sense at the time, I guess that’s how I viewed gravity. That’s what this landscape by Vikachu reminds me of, I love how the landscape builds vertically upon itself. And get this – ten dollars.
