Mad Quickies: Math Plushies, Rollins Driving App, Klecksography, Really Long D*C Music Video and More!
You guys- happy Monday! I say put that stack of paperwork aside. No time for that. No time at all. We’ve got LOTS to break down here. Onward!
If you’re familiar with Michele Banks, writer and artist, you might like to know she’s in Finland right now and writing some fabulous travel notes. Most recently: Climbed a Mountain and I Turned Around: My Saana Saga. Catch up on her travel notes so far and read the previous entries. Be sure to follow @artologica and see her photos of flora and fauna, both living and not so alive.

I LOVE stories like this, especially when people are renovating and stripping away all those horrid decorating ideas over the decades and they find that the structure has a secret past. this isn’t exactly that, but the payoff is amazing. Mosaic Floor From Roman Syria Unearthed in Turkey.

Okay- look, I know this is 30 minutes long and you might only watch a few minutes of it, but dang if it isn’t well done and so fun. If you have ANY fondness for Dragon*Con, then yer going to get kind of misty. Hmmm, I wonder if any of the Mad Art Lab kids were in it…
