At first, artist Mica Angela Hendricks didn’t want her four-year-old daughter near her new sketchbook. She is serious about her art, and she knew little Myla would want to scribble all over the pages. Then, her daughter said the words that changed everything.
“If you can’t share, we’ll have to take it away.”
She had used her own mother’s words against her, and now Mica had no choice but to indulge Myla. She let her daughter finish one of her sketches, and pretty soon, they had a whole collection of collaborations.
After a while, Myla would start the day by flipping through her mom’s sketchbook asking, “Do you have any heads for me today?”
After the outline of the sketch is complete, Mica finishes the artwork with a splash of color.
Mica claims that her amazing artistic experiences with her daughter have taught her a lot about being an artist, and that you have to let go of control for wonderful things to happen.

Check out this curious 25-second time-lapse/composite video that shows every airplane that landed at San Diego International Airport on Black Friday a week ago between 10:30am and 3pm. The giant planes whiz by overhead as if they’re part of a fighter jet squadron heading off to battle — not something you’d expect to see with commercial planes at an airport. It was created by photography and film professor Cy Kuckenbaker.
He came up with the idea after seeing this composite photo that we shared a while back, created by Ho-Yeol Ryu at Hannover Airport:

Earlier this week, Anonymous pulled off its biggest protest ever, dubbed a Million Mask March, with participants in 400 cities worldwide. But the success of the mass demonstrations has been called into question by British newspaper the Telegraph, which claimed the hacktivist’s trademark marks are produced by exploiting third-world workers.
Martha Gill, a former columnist at the New Statesman, wrote a blog post for Telegraph, about the Anonymous mask. Although the article danced around the terminology, on Twitter the author wasn't as discreet, stating that Anonymous masks were made in "sweatshops."
Anonymous, which prides itself on being the voice of the voiceless, quickly refuted the allegations. The @YourAnonNews Twitter account, which boasts over 1 million followers, tweeted a link to a Pastebin document laying out the actual circumstances of the manufacture of the Guy Fawkes masks.
“The truth is, Gill based her article on a photograph taken by Getty photographer Buda Mendes at the Condal Masks Factory in São Goncalo … where artists produced an estimated 200,000 masks yearly,” Anonymous wrote.
Declared Brazil’s “oldest and most productive mask factory” by the Associated Press, Condal was started in 1958 and produces hundreds of thousands of masks a year, mostly involving Carnival.
“Frankly, it’s sad that a photograph of dark-skinned people at work is immediately associated with forced labor,” Anonymous wrote.
There are also many Anonymous masks that are not produced by Condal. The white, thin plastic masks are available across Asia and the Middle East, other created print-out copies, and WikiLeaks truck artist Clark Stoekley sells custom sculpted masks.
That doesn’t resolve the issue of Anonymous contributing to Warner Bros., the company responsible for V for Vendetta and a known lobbyist for the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, which Anonymous actively protested.
“This is not a fact that Anonymous has tried to obscure from the public,” Anonymous wrote. “In fact, the day before the Million Mask March, YourAnonNews tweeted that it did not recommend people purchase the mask, then stated, ‘Wear anything you want to #MillionMaskMarch, including Guy Fawkes. We just want people to be conscious about their consumer choices.’”
Reached for comment, Gill pointed out that her article did not explicitly call the mask factory a “sweatshop.” Asked about her tweet using the word, she wrote, “Don't think you can pick out one tweet about it for particular scrutiny.”
It's true. Even if you're dealing with the brilliant Dark Knight or fantastic Iron Man or the good times of Thor, all superhero movies pretty much boil down to the same thing: an established hero fighting a lunatic bad guy to prevent the destruction of some version of New York City with epic fight scenes and long death scenes galore. Slacktory nails this perfectly in their hilarious video How to make a superhero in 10 easy steps.
