California - Santa Rosa: Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center - Wrapped Snoopy House
Image by wallyg
Wrapped Snoopy House, a life-sized doghouse wrapped in fabric, was created by Christo specifically for the Schulz Museum in October 2003. Christo was just returning the favor twenty five years later. On November 20, 1978, Christo's Valley Curtain and Wrapped Walkways were the subject of a Peanuts strip, where in the last panel Snoopy finds his house wrapped.
The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, located at 2301 Hardies Lane in Santa Rosa, opened on August 17, 2002. The museum is dedicated to the life and works of Charles Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip. The 27,384-square-foot building, which cost million to build, was designed by architectural firm C. David Robinson Architects.
More than 6,000-square-feet of gallery space feature permanent and changing exhibitions, culled from the Peanuts Cartoon Strip Collection, numbering nearly 6,000 original strips. A 2,133-square-foot Great Hall features two large-scale Peanuts-inspired works by the Japanese artist Yoshiteru Otani--Morphing Snoopy and the Peanuts Tile Mural. A private outdoor garden features Peanuts-inspired sculptures, and a Snoopy Labyrinth sits out in front of the entrance. Among the museum's permanent exhibits are Schulz' Bedroom Wall Mural, and a recreation of Schulz' personal studio work area. The museum also features a research center with library and archives, an education room with hands-on activities and class, and a 100-seat theatre featuring animated specials and documentary footage.

There's something funny—actually, something really creepy—going on here.
This image was created from three seperate images and then
Filters > Decor > Duotone
was applied in GIMP.

These are from glass negatives. The photos were originally from the Bain News Service and are now part of the George Grantham Bain Collection in the Library of Congress. There were no dates recorded on the caption cards, but two of the negatives have "4/26/13" (April 26, 1913) written on them. There are no known copyrights or other restrictions on the original photos.
James Montgomery Flagg, born 1877, died May 27, 1960, was an American artist and illustrator. He worked in media ranging from fine art painting to cartooning, but is best remembered for his posters.
His most famous poster was created in 1917 to encourage recruitment in the United States Army during World War I. It showed Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer (inspired by a British recruitment poster showing Lord Kitchener in a similar pose) with the caption "I Want YOU for U. S. Army". Over 4 million copies of the poster were printed during World War I, and it was revived for World War II. Flagg used his own face for that of Uncle Sam (adding age and the white goatee), he said later simply to avoid the trouble of arranging for a model.

LC-DIG-ggbain-12302 (her in chair, him on arm)

Comic Artist Hayanon Visits GSFC
Image by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
This image shows how Hayanon takes a complicated science paper and illustrates it in a simple cartoon. A neuron in the brain perceives all synaptic signals equally, as described in the paper “Conserved properties of dendritic trees in four cortical interneuron subtypes” by Kubota et al. She created this comic for Japan’s National Institute for Physiological Sciences. Science comic artist Hayanon visited Goddard on June 14 and 15.
