some hands by milt kahl, animator on 101 Dalmatians and Sword in the Stone and bunches of other films. source is here (and photobucket), and its got some other sketches and things by him as well

anyway, can you fuckin believe how this guy draws hands? look at them, FUCK they are wonderful

I think what I remember most about the Milt Kahl films, when I was tiny, was the hands. They were what stood out to me—especially in Robin Hood (because they were a mix between human and animal). I don’t know how Kahl’s hands managed to be so fascinating to a 7 year old, but that’s what I clearly remember about those old movies as a child.

Urban Beehive
The Urban Beehive was developed as part of Philips’ new Microbial Home project, a self-sufficient closed-loop home concept that also features items like a methane digester and a plant-based effluent (read: toilet) filtration system. It’s a design concept, so it’s not exactly coming to a Home Depot near you. But it could, and maybe it should.
The Urban Beehive has two parts that attach to your apartment window: A white frontispiece with a flower pot and a small hole for bee entry, and an orange-hued glass inverted teardrop mounted inside your house. This way you can see the bees at work, and access their honey via a small spigot.
The glass teardrop has an array of honeycomb frames for bees to build their wax cells, like existing honeybee colony kits do. The shell is orange to help the bees navigate, and there’s a small hole for the urban beekeeper to release smoke inside, should the hive ever need to be opened (smoke chills out the bees). The city benefits from the bees’ pollination work, and your apartment benefits from fresh honey and the pleasing effect of watching bees, Philips says.

Victorian Artificial Arm

“Made from steel and brass, the elbow joint on this artificial arm can be moved by releasing a spring, the top joint of the wrist rotates and moves up & down, and the fingers can curl up and straighten out. The wearer may have disguised it with a glove. Among the most common causes of amputation throughout the 1800s were injuries received as a result of warfare.”

- Science Museum

This is awesome.
