Everybody is an Artist [2]. Create your own Picassos. Thanks to the Fact or Fiction Network. 5:32:21 PM     |

Housecleaning. Added a few more links to the nav-bar on the right: michelle (gotta steal from her again: she's posted some great links!), ronsens and thingsmagazine. Updated the archives. Updated the Pico search engine (running out of free space there). Noticed that I'm in the Top 100 of Radio-managed weblogs. Sigh. This really is sad. I should get a life. But then I still want to update the Corgi/Dinky website...tomorrow? 1:44:59 PM     |

This is important. This is great. This is fantastic. This is cult. This is art: All the episodes of Les Shadoks in Quicktime. Here. I'm happy. Thanks to Sönke for pointing this out. 12:45:23 PM     |

Pixies. The covers of the German fairy tales book series, known as 'Pixi Books'. Enough of all those covers. My eyes are hurting. And my brain is melting. 12:02:02 PM     |

The Gaul. Asterix covers, global. 11:48:07 AM     |

One for the Kids. A collection of 19th Century children's magazines. Also check out the main site, there's lots of very interesting stuff in there. Amazing. 11:31:00 AM     |

Smallville. Superboy covers. 10:34:07 AM     |

Zines. A gallery of fanzine covers. Amazing: I actually found two in there I still have, probably somewhere in the loft collecting dust. 9:44:13 AM     |

Pointy Ears. The Golden Age Batman Cover Gallery. Fab. All of the covers you will see displayed here are from the "Golden Age" through the "Silver Age" of comics, generally from the early 1940's to mid 1960's. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to see some of the great comic book cover art of the 1940's, 50s and 60's. 9:27:17 AM     |

Dynamite. The covers of the German pulp series 'Mr Dynamit'. Great designs. All done without the help of Photoshop. 9:10:05 AM     |

This is your Bishop Information Minister speaking. Today is international Front Cover day! Wait and see... 8:38:39 AM     |

Let's play some more. A collection of mechanical toy banks. Great. 12:03:15 PM     |

Let's play. Wonderful illustrations of old toys. American toys were originally made in the home, but by 1750, artisans who specialized in making toys were established in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, and other cities. From the 1830s onward, commercial mass production of toys was a flourishing industry in the United States. 11:57:35 AM     |
