POPSLondon's Little People Project he Little People Project: it's a guilt-free street art project. Tiny little figures (tiny! Smaller than a dime!) are placed around London. Most of them will never be noticed, but I like to imagine some kid will find some of these someday and be delighted by the surreal magic of the world. --John Brownlee, Wired Blogs: Table of Malcontents Like Amelie finding the little boy's treasure box in her wall-- I'd like to imagine that too.

POPSKafka's Metamorphosis Illustrated Since I have no way of lending my copy to most of you, I thought I'd just clip about it. This is especially for {{enbar}}, {{Brimstone}}, and other fans of German Expressionism. *This is where I shamelessly encourage you to get a copy: I got my copy of the book two years ago and I've never grown tired of it. Adaptations are rarely this great. :D Visit the official site here .

POPSJumping Portraits Philippe Halsman defied gravitas: The freezing of motion has a long and fascinating history in photography, whether of sports, fashion or war. But rarely has stop-action been used in the unlikely, whimsical and often mischievous ways that Philippe Halsman employed it. ... Halsman's pictures of politicians, celebrities, scientists and other luminaries appeared on the cover of Life magazine a record 101 times, and he made hundreds of other covers and photo essays for such magazines as Look, Paris Match and Stern. Because of his vision and vigor, our collective visual memory includes iconic images of Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Oppenheimer, Winston Churchill and other newsmakers of the 20th century.
