Work from Terrible Yellow Eyes

Where the Wild Things Are is the focus of Terrible Yellow Eyes, a blog by Cory Godbey that compiles artwork inspired by the book.  I’ve been following it for a while now, and I adore all the artwork on the site.  Every image brings a new and gorgeous scene to the story, and makes my day a bit happier. They recently had a show at Nucleus Gallery, and you should definitely check out all the wonderously wild pieces on the Terrible Yellow Eyes blog site!

Fredflare loves bacon

Fredflare.com is evidently the epicenter of all things bacon on the interwebs, with a wide array of bacon-flavored, bacon-shaped, and bacon-smelling toys and knicknacks.  You can choose between the bacon soap, the bacon wallet,the bacon chocolate bars and even pit Mr. Bacon against Monsieur Tofu in a protein battle royale.  After you’ve eaten the bacon chocolate chip pancakes and the bacon caramel toffee with a side of bacon beans, you can clean your teeth with bacon floss.  Don’t forget to check out Mr. Bacon’s Big Adventure Game, in all its retro goodness:
