Fanatic Attack is about entrancement, entertainment, and an enhancement of curiosity.
First, an abandoned 12-week-old macaque develops a friendship with a white pigeon in China…read more.
Then, as reported by Reuters news, Washington Post and other major news media outlets, a lonely baboon in a private Lithuanian zoo has adopted a chicken he saved from certain death last month and the two have formed a fast friendship. Watch the baboon take care of his new friend.

I love Web sites that focus on a specific genre of poster. One such site includes an Olympic Poster History page at www.drollthings.com.
The list isn’t long, but the images are fascinating - like the one to the right, where ribbons seem seem to wrap magically around a certain piece of male anatomy. Granted, it was Stockholm, but it was also 1912 - according to the site, “The nudity of the athletes was a reference to the Games of Antiquity, although it was judged as too ‘daring’ by some managers and not distributed in some countries.”
It’s interesting to see how the graphics changed over the years, from 1896 to a current image for the 2008 games in Beijing. Visit the site and enjoy!

Got 2 million Dollars on the side? Buy yours now..
Dimora Motorcar says the Natalia SLS 2 sport luxury sedan is the “world’s most luxurious, expensive, and technologically advanced creation.” It better be, with a pricetag of about $2 million dollars.
The car comes with 16 cyclinders that can explode to 60 MPH in less than 4 seconds. For speed demons, it does a staggering 300 MPH when you put the pedal to the metal. The horsepower in the engine is an eye popping 1200.
Lamborghini LP640 limited edition Reventon - If anything is wrong with it, its the name, they should have called it after the F16 or the F-22 fighter jets. 640bhp 6.5-litre powerplant promises 650hp, 660Nm of torque and a 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds. This machine is extraordinary.

At Right: Old School Chalkboard Journal by Tracy V. Moore.
The Paper Studio, located in Tempe Arizona, seems to have some phenomenal classes. The mission of The Paper Studio is to build a strong book and paper arts community by engaging professional and amateur artists in developing creative expression, building technical skills and finding inspiration through paper making, alternative photography, printmaking and book arts. I’m most interested in bound books, especially the creative styles that you see here, which were made by students who attended the Paper Studio classes.
Most of the classes are very reasonably priced, and full payment is due at registration. There is limited class enrollment to allow extensive exchange between instructor and participant. Courses can be designed to accommodate students at all levels of experience.
If you can’t attend a class, let me know if you did and how you enjoyed it - or if you have images of your work, I’d love to see them!
The Paper Store also has an online store with samples of some incredible paper (including Japanese Chiyogami, Yuzen, and Washi papers), and knick-knacks for the scrapbook fanatic.
