Mike Rosenthal (@vectorbelly) has created Twitter: The Comic, a Tumblr blog of comics made from tweets, some his own, some by others.

There’s some random, twisted stuff on Twitter, as you may have noticed. But it makes for some interesting art.

This one, of course, is our favorite.

Où est Charlie ?

Où est Charlie ?

Photographer couple Max & Charlotte have created a series of Where’s Waldo-inspired photos at iconic locations all over Paris. We’re not sure there actually is a Charlie to find in these photos, but it’s tons of fun to study the details.

Paris métro in anagrams

The French love to play with language, so it’s no surprise somebody decided to change all the names of Paris métro stops into wacky anagrams. We like Clefs au vieillard for Filles du Calvaire on line 8 (lavender). Lots more to discover on the complete map at Anagrammes de Métro!

Go ice skating on the Eiffel Tower

If you’re in Paris between December 15th and February 9th, you’ll be able to go ice skating at a 200 square meter rink to be installed on the first level of the Eiffel Tower, 57 meters above Paris. Details: La patinoire de la Tour Eiffel.
