Slave 1 in Pixels
Created by Alex Griendling
Artist comment: “After making Boba Fett earlier this week, I had a few requests to take a crack at Slave 1. So, here’s Boba’s ship in all of its bounty hunting glory. While Boba measured 25 pixels high, Slave 1 stands 40 pixels tall”.

One World Trade Center
A reflective 104-story skyscraper known as One World Trade Center is rising amid New York City’s skyline where the iconic Twin Towers of the World Trace Center once stood.
The building—which became New York’s tallest in April—sits adjacent to the site of the towers that were destroyed in a terrorist attack 11 years ago today, on September 11, 2001. The exact footprints of the Twin Towers have been memorialized by two reflecting pools with cascading waterfalls, and walls inscribed with the names of those who were lost in the attacks.
The photographs featured above were taken by members of the crew building the new World Trade Center, which is expected to be completed in late 2013.

There are some little touches in this that make it even more awesome than the big premise Tom notes.
Hey look, even the Dark Knight needs a POANG and a BESTA or two. The Bat Cave doesn’t furnish itself, you know.
What’s Up Doc? The Animated Art of Chuck Jones is on display in the LSU Student Union Art Gallery through July 29th. The exhibit is on loan from the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity in Cosa Mesa, Calif. The center’s missions are to share Jones’ artwork and inspire creativity in others, no matter how young or old.
I wonder if I should figure out a way to get to Baton Rouge for a day before July 29th…
