Found these really cool artist in a designboom article about Show Off in Paris. Katinka Lampe paints oil on canvas portraits, and they’re awesome. I like this one below for the hair. It looks like a vector drawing, right?

I used to work on a product called PicLens; it’s a real snazzy Firefox plugin that provides a 3D wall-ish view of photo albums online (and more). I think they’ve solved a tough problem about Firefox plugins: authorizing the install. Check out the site, click Download, and watch the animation on top. I think even someone who didn’t know what a Firefox extension is at all could install it.
