Okay here’s the thing – I could write endlessly about Salvador Dalí; his life, his art, his genius, madness and goofiness, how he and the other Surrealists were heavily influenced by early psychology, how he incorporated atomic theory into his art, how he has influenced me since I was 15-years-old and so on, for pages and pages and pages. Instead, I will direct you lovely folks to his ... »
Ok, I admit, that's a terrible headline. But the paper doll isn't so terrible. Color him in, dress him up, invite some of his friends to come over and hang out. Click for larger view. »
Here’s another one of those paper dolls. This one’s Nikola Tesla who, according to Wikipedia, was responsible for alternating current, wireless communication, a high-performance electric sports car and the 1991 album “Psychotic Supper”. Wait. No. Just the first two. »
You’ve probably already seen some of the paper doll posts here. One of the things we did with these was print off stacks of them to give out, with crayons, at Dragon*Con. The evening before I left for Atlanta, it occurred to me that we didn’t have a one for Phil Plait, who would actually be at the convention. »

To give you an idea of how much back and forth we’ve had on this subject, there is a thread on our Super Secret Back Channel with almost 100 posts. That’s a lot of chatter! »
We have been going paper doll crazy here at M.A.L. and these are my contributions. This has been a super fun project and I hope you get as much enjoyment from these as we have. If you’re going to be at Dragon Con come by, say hello and pick some up. Otherwise you can print them out on your own and have a scientist tea party in the comfort of your own home. »
We’re trying to get as many of these done for Dragon*Con as possible and the ladies were under-represented. Since I begged to have Ada Lovelace, I figured I’d better get in gear tonight before it’s too late. So I grabbed a trusty pencil instead of my Wacom tablet and scribbled furiously.
