When You Wish Upon A Star, Makes No Difference Who You Are. Got That?

Geppetto: "You're just confused because your a boy trapped inside a puppet's body."
Pinocchio: "No, I'm a girl trapped inside a boy's body, trapped inside a puppet's body."

If you've got to shoot things, it might as well be Hello Kitty. Hey, why not throw in a unicorn, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Pinocchio, a witch and a couple of aliens. Strange bone structure in the ears though, I always thought they would have been cartilage. Or maybe these were mascots. In that case, shoot them twice.  (Photos by Riccardo Bagnoli for a teen clothes ad campaign; link via Nerdcore by way of The Zeary Gazette)

I've never really understood the appeal of steampunk. It's one of those web phenomenons that has escaped me. Why would you want everything to look like futuristic Victorian technology?

But there was no denying the artistry of Fabricio Moraes' winning entry for the CG Society's Steampunk Myths & Legends contest:

Geppetto is a mad and lonely old man. Since he has no friends at all, he decided to make one. With no magic or abracadabra stuff, he makes his creation alive with the power of steam.

I really have a thing for variants of classic Disney images these days.
