Five things of note from the week ending Friday, April 20th 2012
(shorter than most weeks – blame being ill, still)Â
1. Awesome Drive art is Awesome
Any excuse to post more stuff about DRIVE – aka the best film of 2011 – really, via my usual source of brilliant stuff.
2. Being ill sucks
I was diagnosed with acute sinusitis on Tuesday (having been out of action since last Friday) and the only thing I know about it is that a mate of mine at college used to suffer with it a lot. ‘Sicknote’ we called him, bless. But, if you’re reading this now – Bodger – I apologise. I take it back. This thing is agonisingly painful and OH MY GOD I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.
Also, I can’t go outside.
3. Happy Birthday David
More (read: better) Prometheus goodness. This time in the shape of Michael Fassbender’s take on the now-required Ridley-universe Weyland android.

4. Useful QR codes?
Maybe.
5. Just add Monsters
I love this stuff; Artists Chris McMahon and Thryza Segal like to buy second hand paintings and then just add monsters. Apparently the trick is to match the paint originally used (e.g., acrylic or oil) and try to blend the monsters into the original scene as if they were always there. I’m actually tempted to give it a go myself.
