Real Life Version Of Pixar's Flying Balloon House
National Geographic actually created a real-life version of Pixar's animated hit film Up.
The National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 300 8' colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour.

From Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, to Edward Scissorhands, to Batman, to The Nightmare Before Christmas, to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and beyond."

R/C Rear Window Hand
If you’re looking for a cool way to send a message to the driver behind you and tell them don’t kiss your car, then the ‘r/c rear window hand’ would be a right choice. Just hang this light-up hand on your car’s back window, and you can express your true feelings without getting physical. Using electroluminescent technology, combined with animation, The Hand will create a attention grabbing sensation wherever it is used! Buy from Perpetualkid for about $40. Use at night for the best effect. Awesome for driving in Lebanon.

Featured Work: Louis Karim
Awesome sketches by one of my closest friends. Louis is infamous for creating and illustrating characters of all kinds. He's got quite the imagination! His style is changing over time however as he further explores his talent. He is an Animation Director at Blacksmith Studios, here in Lebanon, specializing in 3d modeling. He is currently continuing his education to eventually enter the world of game design; his true passion. And I, for one, have got no doubt that he'll be amazing at it. Woohoo! Go Louie!
