Olivia When:  (Animation) Dog Thief 

Olivia When is obsessed with dogs.  Olivia is also from the South and went to school at the Maryland Institute College of Arts.  She is an accomplished illustrator and animator with a long list of high profile clients and is currently making Google Doodles for a living.  She is also obsessed with dogs.  Did I say that already?  Her adorably animated gifs capture that feeling many people get when encountering a super cute dog:  They just want to have it.  I don’t THINK she has ever actually stolen a dog, but she certainly has thought about it, and animated it, a lot.  And in an adorably illustrated and cleverly animated way.

London’s Hidden Tunnels Revealed In Amazing Cutaways 

The layout of London can only be fully understood if we examine it in three dimensions. Tim Dunn takes a look at some of the capital’s greatest cutaway diagrams.

Our city is a fascinating, infuriating, terrifying, beautiful place. As curious Londonists we attempt to make sense of it and the way it works so that we can better assert our own place within it. It is often said that London is an infrastructural palimpsest: layer upon layer of networks and systems. But that really isn’t the case. London, like any urban form is a complex, woven fabric of infrastructure — each system maddeningly intertwined with others.
