There are no limits anymore nowadays and if body art is one of the great and regularly covered topics here at frankylicious, we certainly need to spend more time to ‘real life art’. Like stained windows. No, not your operating system, FFS!
Windows as in windows, those small glass things you look out in the real world trough! Yeah, windows. That’s exactly what I said!
And why shouldn’t you have your own original Simpsons Stained Window?

Christoph Niemann, columnist par excellence for the NYT, and known for brilliant pieces such as his A History of Coffee Love, which I mentioned at ifranky in pre-frankylicious times, always is worth a read. Rands reminded me of this brilliant piece about New York: I LEGO NY.
If you have never read Niemann’s illustrated stories for the NYT, check out New York Cheat Sheets and The Boys and The Subway.
Ok, I confess. I might have lied about the steampunk part but things tend to get stale and steampunk has gotten stale, overdone and boring. If nevertheless you have one of those old typewriters hanging about and you don’t want to send them to the scrap yard but would rather scrap them yourself, turn them in to a sculpture like Jeremy Mayer did.
Space Invader, from Rubikcubism fame was at it again. After already having made several art pieces with Rubik’s cubes, he now created this awesome stop-motion video.

New York’s MOMA museum is going to hold an exhibition of the art of Tim Burton. More than 700 examples of rarely or never-before-seen drawings, paintings, storyboards, moving-image works, puppets, maquettes, costumes, and cinematic ephemera, and includes an extensive film series spanning Burton’s 27-year career.

☆ The new Spike Jonze's 'I'm here, the movie' now available online
☆ I know there are fans of coffee art among the frankylicious readers, so I thought I might as well post a link to it here. Even though I would not want to wait or have a barista make a lovely piece of art I would ruin by stirring it up. No, I never would waste any of the guests' time layering flavoured mocchas. Anyway, here you go : Art in My Coffee.
☆ The Sun thinks differently. Did I just link to The Sun?Screw that. Everybody move on now! Nothing to see here.
☆ Not everyone enjoys Christmas but of course that doesn't mean you have to go totally Dickensian about it. Instead, play some Whack-a-mole. On your iPhone. Read a review at AppleGazette.
☆ 1000 Celebrities and pop culture icons in 8-bit art. On your iPhone. At $2.99 a cool deal for 8-bit nerds, otherwise wasted money. 'Get it!', we say.
☆ If you are not a victim of geotardation, ie. if you live in the US of A, you can watch the complete Caprica pilot on SyFy (who's the moron who came up with that spelling?
☆ Interesting discovery and video: an octopus uses a coconut shell to hide under but also takes the shell with him when walking over the mud of the ocean. Coconuts as tools. Most interesting of all, this was not discovered or filmed by the BBC Life team.
☆ Go on, admit it! You also want one of these: 700mW green laser pointer. Abuse the occasion as they are 20% off and only $2.499 anymore! I wished I were rich.
