Some of Jacek Yerka’s surreal paintings depict the world through my eyes. Now that I’m reading “Diary of a genius” by Salvador Dalí it even becomes more clear: trees are the perfect spot for reading and clocks are everywhere but nowhere, like melting matter.
![They were never the guys who scored the game-winning touchdown or were voted class president. They were the guys who spent their Saturday nights disassembling and reassembling motherboards for fun, or who thought the perfect weekend getaway involved watching every Dario Argento movie back to back. But now they’re among the most important people in the world — like Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, named on December 15, 2010, as TIME magazine’s Person of the Year. He created (or stole, depending on who you talk to) Facebook “for fun” while at Harvard, and now it’s the most important social-networking tool on the Internet — and is poised to become something even grander.

Dear Ona,
Thank you for your gift of EUR 15 to the Wikimedia Foundation, received on November 19, 2010. I’m very grateful for your support.
Your donation celebrates everything Wikipedia and its sister sites stand for: the power of information to help people live better lives, and the importance of sharing, freedom, learning and discovery. Thank you so much for helping to keep these projects freely available for their nearly 400 million monthly readers around the world.
Your money supports technology and people. The Wikimedia Foundation develops and improves the technology behind Wikipedia and nine other projects, and sustains the infrastructure that keeps them up and running. The Foundation has a staff of about fifty, which provides technical, administrative, legal and outreach support for the global community of volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia.
Many people love Wikipedia, but a surprising number don’t know it’s run by a non-profit. Please help us spread the word by telling a few of your friends.
And again, thank you for supporting free knowledge.
Sincerely Yours,
Sue Gardner
Executive Director

Sean Penn Drive, Muesli Snipes, Martin Burger King or Robert Brownie Junior are some of the gimmicky and creatively illustrated renames by Bloger De Niro.
Their creators, Manu and Héctor, are Spanish and sometimes depict Spanish cellebrities, concepts or brands. Like Rajoy Division. Mariano Rajoy is the leader of the opposition in the Spanish parliament. Pun is fun!

I enjoy small doses of experiential wisdom, that’s a reason why I totally heart quotes. They express things I couldn’t say better and release me in some sort of intimate way. Today I discovered Alex Noriega’s blog (“Stuff no one told me -but I learned anyways-“), who posts statements with appealing illustrations. These are my favorite three.
Some people have special capabilities to express the Invisible. That’s exactly why I love Bert’s illustrations, specially when Pili Arándanos gifts his characters with words.
