For an article in Harvard Business Review, that says people who were angry made better stock selling decisions. For an article in Harvard Business Review, about how many Chinese business people still use Mao's advice when considering business decisions.
When I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Dominican Republic, Dominicans would talk about "La Cigüapa", which is kind of like a female boogie-man, but with backwards feet. "cigüa" is a bird indigenous to the DR, and "guapa" usually means "pretty" in Spanish, but in Dominican spanish it means "angry." So it sort of comes out to "beautiful angry bird monster." 11169 From the Wikipedia entry: A Ciguapa is a fictional creature originating from the Dominican Republic. They are legendary women that live in the high mountains in the Dominican Republic. Since they are nocturnal, they come out at night to look for food. An odd feature to these women is that their feet are backwards, so you can never quite tell where the footprints came from. In some cases, people believe that they bring death, and are warned not to look them in the eye[1]
One of my favorite blogs print & pattern featured me today. I originally emailed its creator, Bowie, about her rss feed. I've been using the Google Reader to consolidate my daily blog reading, but print & pattern didn't have an RSS feed. Bowie was nice enough to email back, that someone had been hijacking her content, so she shut down her rss feed.

The first thing I thought of when I heard the theme for this week was "Visitors" was the 1983 mini-series "V." And of course the scene where Jane Badler eats the mouse (I thought it was a mouse-turns out it was a gerbil or guinea pig). I remember this scene was very shocking to me at the time. Check out the excellent stop motion animation below.
I'd also forgotten the cool sunglasses and the space-age swastika logo.
In my research on the topic, I found V's creator's website. Lots of great photos there. I got the title for my illustration, from this poster. The Garp poster dates it nicely:
For a Las Vegas Weekly article on a guy riding all the rollercoasters in Las Vegas, in one day. Including the one in Primm, NV, which is about a half hour from LV, the Desperado at Buffalo Bill's Casino & Resort.
For an article in the Las Vegas Weekly about teachers quitting their jobs in large numbers. (thats a Ditto Machine in the lower right) Below is the sketch.
I did this a few years ago for a greeting card. "Are so hot" was on the inside of the card. The card company isn't selling this design any more, so rights are available to interested parties.
