This week’s website is missing a “u” in its title, but I still love it anyway.
Coloring Book Corruptions is a blog where innocent colouring book pages are edited and coloured in in such a way to suggest something much more sinister than the original artist intended.
It’s pretty funny. They even let you submit your own corrupted colouring book pages.
This week’s website is all about the joy of singing.
Bev and Bob Holwager form HOLWAGERKARAOKE, a unique karaoke-singer duo on YouTube.
Their videos aren’t just karaoke, though. They also feature a bunch of computer generated imagery to spice things up.
They may not be the greatest singers, but the bring a genuine enthusiasm to all their songs. I greatly enjoy watching just how much fun they have while singing. It’s a pleasant contrast to all the angry YouTube channels.
This week’s website is all about imagination and meticulous attention to detail.
Starting in 1963 with a single panel, Jerry Gretzinger started drawing a map of his own invented world. His map is now made up of over 3200 8×10 panels and it continues to grow and evolve to this day.
One of the most interesting things about Jerry’s map is that it doesn’t just grow outwards. Established areas of the map can be destroyed or changed through phrases randomly pick from a deck of cards, or from Jerry’s rules about how the people of his invented world acquire resources and services. For example: if a city grows in size so too must its farmland to feed everyone.
Jerry’s map is never complete and he plans on working on it for as long as possible.
