Look away arachnophobes, this awesome rooftop mural might make your skin crawl.
The massive trompe l’oeil, depicting two Opiliones (otherwise known as harvestmen or daddy longlegs) who appear to have overtaken a building, was created on the roof of the Seattle Center Armory (formerly known as the Center House) by local artist and science illustrator Marlin Peterson.
Marlin was commissioned by the Washington State Artist Trust to create this enormous piece of outdoor artwork. After failing to find a suitably large wall, he began seeking out a large roof and had the brilliant idea to find something easily visible from above. Of course, one of the very best places in Seattle from which to look down is the Seattle Space Needle.
Visit Marlin Peterson’s website to view lots more photos of this amazing project and learn about how he created these gigantic creepy-crawlies.

I’ve been meaning to post something about The Big Bang Theory for a while now but it’s taken me ‘till now to really understand what it is about the show that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not exactly a believer in the whole “only write about the things you like, don’t…
Agreed
The Most Gorgeous Book Ever Has No Words Or Pictures, Just Color
This is the RGB Colorspace Atlas by Tauba Auerbach. The 8”x8” hardcover tome is pretty much an encyclopedia of every color in the RGB index. It’s huge, it’s gorgeous, and I want one.
