So. Lost is over. I’m still mulling over how I feel about the way it ended, but the overall series was a great ride. This poster is by Eric Tan, who has made many, many awesome posters (check some of them out here).

Jim Hance’s portrait of Calvin and Hobbes. I’ve posted a lot of Jim’s previous work and his blog kinda disappeared on me for awhile. Glad to have found him again: his home site, his Twitter, and his Facebook (which appears to be the best way to keep up with his new work).

Marek Born of Poland reminding me that juggling is awesome.
