“British artist Stephen Wiltshire is currently attempting to draw the Manhattan skyline from memory. since Monday October 26th. Wiltshire began filling in an 18 foot canvas at the Pratt institute, Brooklyn. The drawing is expected to be complete by Friday. You can follow his progress through the live webcam here.

Wiltshire diagnosed with autism at the age of three displays an unusually powerful photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.”

Chick-sat-A (Fancy Chick-fil-A) by Erik of Fancy Fast Food, with support from Cheryl T.

Ingredients:

• 1 order of four Chick-n-Strips
• 1 order of Waffle Potato Fries
• 1 Carrot & Raisin Salad
• 1 Walnut Fudge Brownie
• 1 soft drink of your choice
• packets of various Chick-fil-A dipping sauces
• an organic banana leaf (for presentation and a touch of irony)

Here’s a little treat that fuses Southeast Asia with a Southeast American-based fast food chain. First, debread all the Chick-n-Strips to expose the pieces of real chicken breast inside. Rinse the pieces in a colander, and then cut them down into eight smaller pieces.

To get the grill marks, you may fire up an actual hibachi or George Foreman grill, but you can also just fake the grill marks — just like many fast food chains do anyway. Take each morsel of chicken and carve two grooves in each of the sides; these will help define the grill marks when you take a kitchen torch and burn in the dark lines. Afterwards, let the chicken cool down before skewing them with bamboo skewers.

Next, the sauce. Satay is typically served with a peanut sauce, but with the lack of peanuts at Chick-fil-A, we are going to improvise and use walnuts from the Walnut Fudge Brownie. Pick all of them off, and then finely chop them. Blend various dipping sauces into a mixing cup (the darker the better) and then mix in the chopped walnuts. Pour the resulting satay sauce in a small fancy bowl.

Finally, the assembly: cut the banana leaf down to the size and shape of a fancy platter, and then place it down. On top, place the satay sauce and the chicken skewers. Garnish with a Waffle Potato Fry and some Carrot & Raisin Salad, and serve with your beverage in a nice glass. And there you have it! Southeast Asia meets Southeast America in this chicken dish that will sure make you — and the cows — happy.

Maurice Sendak advises today’s youth: ‘Quit this life as soon as possible.’ | The Big Picture | Los Angeles Times

I doubt that Warner Bros. will be overjoyed to hear this, but Spike Jonze’s most soulful Maurice Sendak movie isn’t his $90-million-plus version of “Where the Wild Things Are” but a 40-minute labor-of-love documentary about Sendak that premieres tonight at 7 p.m. on HBO East and 10 p.m. on HBO West. Titled “Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak,” the film, co-directed by Jonze and Lance Bangs, is a mesmerizing portrait of an unsettled artist as an old man. You know right from the start that it’s not going to be a reverential, Ken Burns-style film. Our first glimpse of Sendak reveals a wild-eyed oldster, shakily leaning on a cane, his speech liberally sprinkled with profanity. When Jonze asks if he has any advice for young people, Sendak brusquely replies: “Quit this life as soon as possible. Get out. You’re doing a documentary about a brain-dead person.”

Marge “Posed” Like Black Model for Playboy Cover | Miss Jia

The November issue of Playboy magazine will feature Marge as its cover model. Darine Stern, who was featured in Playboy almost 37 years ago in an identical pose, was the first Black model to ever grace the cover for the popular men’s magazine. Uh, since Marge is a cartoon, does this mean that this issue will be safe for children?
