Do you enjoy the films of Director Wes Anderson? I sure do. Recently, I attended a group exhibit at NYC’s Spoke Art Gallery called Bad Dads: A Wes Anderson Tribute Show, which was completely amazing. Included were dozens of whimsical artworks by various artists who were inspired to interpret themes and characters found in Anderson’s various films. Fun!

Rainbow Jellyfish


“Jellyfish!”

Neatorama just posted a cool link to this National Geographic news story about a rare Rainbow Jellyfish. According to the report, “The jellyfish does not emit its own light, as bioluminescent creatures do. Rather, its rainbow glow emanates from light reflecting off the creature’s cilia, small hair-like projections that beat simultaneously to move the jellyfish through the water.” Awesome. This actually reminds me of a scene in the Wes Anderson film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which I saw again last night on IFC (great film, by the way) where hundreds of “Electric Jellyfish” wash up on the beach and Zissou’s crew run out to film it.
