Stuff I Do When I’m Bored
Imagination Transportation
Things I Have Drawn imagines a world in which the things kids draw are real. What started as a silly little project between dad, Tom, and his 6-year-old son, Dom, soon had Dom’s younger brother, Al, joining in the fun, and more recently has turned into something much much bigger, with parents sending their kid’s drawings in from all over the world.

Springfield’s Finest
In late 2023, graphic designer “Princess_Prompt” threw The Simpsons characters into an AI image generator to see how well it responded to text prompts:
“I wanted to imagine what a live action series of The Simpsons could look like in the flesh in an ’80s style, the era of their birth. As a fan of The Simpsons and Matt Groening’s work since childhood, I found them to be the ideal subject for experimentation.”

Update: Someone made a trailer!

 The Nite-Liters were formed in 1963 in Louisville, Kentucky by Tony Churchill and Harvey Fuqua. After recording two albums in the early 1970s, the group morphed into the 17-piece ensemble New Birth.

Children’s Nightmares Illustrated
Some time ago I ran across a great collection of illustrations by professional illustrators of children’s illustrations of monsters, in a side-by-side format. I was unable to find the original source (possibly somewhere in DRB) for the images below, but here is a link to the site of one of the artists, Dave Devries, who certainly had something to do with the concept. He’s got a great collection of work and related stuff for sale, too.
