Aren’t these illustrations by Isaiah Stephens fan-freakin-tastic? I’m especially partial to Jasmine as Chun-Li, because…well, you’ll see on October 31st!
Ariel as Black Widow:
Pocahontas as Katniss:
This post is a link dump of sorts — three items I found especially interesting/funny and compelling enough for me to want to share them with you. :-) First up is a spoof trailer for Hell No, a horror movie starring characters who make...

I fully realize that this may not be the best time to make this announcement — ahem, see two posts down — but I wanted you to know that I am currently looking for work. Obviously not my number, but a funny and appropriate (at least to my weirdsense of humor) sign for this post. Get it? ;-) For those who are not aware, I used to work in marketing and was a designer (web and print) and web developer. Now that the kids are older, I would love to start freelancing again to slowly transition my life to that of a working mom. Not to mention, keeping myself busy and focused would help me on my road to recovery. (It has...

Today marks the end of Claire’s first full week of preschool. (Last week was a 3-day school week.) While she didn’t cry the first day, she shed some tears every morning after that…until yesterday, that is. She had a perfectly pleasant, tear-free day yesterday and J texted me to let me know that she didn’t cry this morning at drop-off either.
She is sooo excited to ride the “school bus” (it’s a regular city bus but she calls it her school bus) every morning with her baba, and he tells me that she sings “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round” whilst riding the bus. She’s learned a new song (“Mr. Sun”) and her English has already improved tremendously in this short time. For example, I was amazed when she said to me, “Mom, come up here! Let’s go down the slide together!”
In celebration of this small milestone, I wanted to share with you a series of illustrations by Parisian designer Andry “Shango” Rajoelina that depicts superheroes and their families on their way to school. The first part of his series, “Justice Families,” debuted back in May and part two, “Marvel Families,” debuted last month.

What happened to Street Fighter characters après combat? This series of illustrations gives you the sometimes sad, and other times inspiring scoop.
“Blanka was overblown with joy after reuniting with his long lost mother. Seeing that she was
always anxious and concerned for his well being, due to his street fighting life style, he decided
to make a few changes. With the help of his mother’s boyfriend, who was a manager at the
Brazilian division of Hydro Quebec, Blanka got himself a job as an emergency power generator
for some of the hard to reach areas of the Amazon River. It was work perfectly suited to his
profile. While buzzing out voltage he casually sips on margaritas and has been known to indulge
on the occasional joint or two. Watching the local soccer team play as he powers up the beam
lights of the field late in the evening he feels happy and at peace.”
