Transportation
Lovely little bits of real art like watercolor of a moped this are for sale in the park outside Santo Domingo in Oaxaca. I buy them when I can.
Gravity bike. This is a sport?
Which leads to this Flickr set — FreakBikes. That’ll do.

Science
Underwater shots of Beluga whales at a sanctuary created by the University of St. Petersburg.

Culture and Society

Art, Design, Animation
Hugh D’Andrade makes wicked posters.
Including this fine image of a geeky girl mecha for the 20th anniversary of the EFF.
Oddities created by collage. Victorian era ladies (and gents) spent hours creating humorous images using paper, scissors, and paste. Children using frogs for rocking horses just about covers it. More behind the “view more images” link.
Tommy and the Atom. The tale of two atoms, a boy, his fox, and an evil mad scientist bent on world domination. Sweet old propaganda film featuring the voice that reminded you to “look both ways before crossing”.
Making it through the week m’dears.
