I’ve posted in the past about this awesome project that helps show kids the power of imagination. Without any guidelines elementary school students are asked to draw a monster. The finished drawings are sent to artists around the world who recreate them using  3D illustrations, animations, and paintings. The finished works and then sent back to the children. 

Make me choose: Luke or Leia

A cup of tea?! Yes please!!

it really messes up the tea, it doesn’t matter if you use an electric kettle, or a pot on the cooker, or even an iron bucket over the fire but do not use the microwave

this might be my favorite tweet ever

Bob the animator: “Yeah! I mean, what, do you think someone’s gonna take photos and put them on a blog with 3,500 followers some day? That would be ridiculous.”

Growing up in the depression in San Francisco, Steve tried to join the Army at the beginning of the war, but was turned down repeatedly.  (He tried to explain that he was American, born here, but even if they had been accepting half-Japanese soldiers at that point he was too skinny and sickly.)  In ‘42 he and his best friend Bucky were shipped to Manzanar - by ‘43 they were accepting Nisei soldiers, and he and Bucky were both yes-yes boys. Bucky joined the 442nd but they still didn’t let Steve in - the conditions at the camp hadn’t done anything good for Steve’s health. Without Bucky there, there was nobody to keep Steve out of trouble, fighting the guards when they tried to bully the other internees, and by the end of ‘43 Steve was sent to the prison camp at Tule Lake with the other “incorrigibles”.  It was there he met Dr. Erskine. Imagine if this was the face of the symbol of America.
