Lunch Link: The Lovely, Odd World of Tom DesLongchamp

The good friend of a childhood buddy, Tom Deslongchamp's art, animation and bizzarely original creativity has kept me captivated since middle school.

So, dear readers of Threeow, I thought I'd share the proverbial love.

Tom's world of  kids, creatures, music, and talking hot dogs operates by a rigorous internal logic that is obviously there, somewhere, but terribly difficult to articulate.
His art by turns inspires, entertains and disturbs - often all at once. If you get it, you'll love it.

Thoroughly explore the archives -going back to '99- at his website.

Here's a live film "About Dogs":

And a personal favorite:

Also make sure to check out Tom's recent webcomic The Nose.

I hope you smile with me at a bright, strange mind.
Keep it up Tom.

Schrödinger's Cat, in one Minute. With a Marker.

Quantum theory + a big Crayola marker = Awesome.

Yesterday's "One Minute Physics" over at New Scientist is a fun summary of the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment. But if you look at it, please understand that (in our universe) you're forcing the hand of reality. Do it. Or don't. Or do. Or don't.
