mr. werewolf.

Hello! We're back, we're ready for the weekend and we're loving the fantastically cool paintings of Jakub Rozalski, the artist known as Mr. Werewolf. Rawr.

Juxtaposing scenes of the European countryside in the 1920s-1940s with giant District 9-like robots of destruction, these works--which could be kitschy in the hands of lesser artist--are chilling. The Gargantuan drones are clearly metaphors for Hitler's and Stalin's armies, but the nod to both the past and the future says that the horrors of war transcend time, are rooted deep in the human experience--and we'll be confronted by them again and again.

Also, somebody needs to translate these paintings into a film, because it would be incredible. Do you hear me, Hollywood? Via UFunk.

Well Monday, here we are again. But thank you for welcoming me with the otherworldly illustrations of L.A.-based artist Tran Nguyen. They have managed to keep me in a dreamy, surreal mood for most of the day.

And this fabulous new app that matches dog lovers and shelter pets for daily walks. Wonderful! Dogs get exercise and loving human interaction. Humans get a daily dose of doggie magic. Everybody wins here, people.
