Christian Faur uses crayons to create art. "Another of Christian's works appearing at Sherrie Gallerie is ‘Just Paper,’ a collage of 12,000 shredded strips of paper, layered like feathers on a bird to create an image of the US Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay. Look harder, and you’ll find that the strips of paper are lines from the US Constitution with certain words set in different fonts for extra emphasis."

Pete Goldlust creates crayon art, but it's not quite what you might be thinking. He also does playful wall installations, odd prints and other whimsical yet monstrous things.

Meanwhile, some students have uncovered a confidential brief on climate change (PDF) for the president, allegedly from the IPCC (but probably not.) [Via WorldChanging and Gristmill]

We've discussed the 2000 Census a few times before, but we've never debated the 2000 Crayola Color Census. It's childhood nostalgia second only to the smell of Play-Doh. You can read up on the history of the colors and see the most popular ones. Nearly all of the top ten colors are shades of blue, which shouldn't be too surprising. Me? I'm a burnt sienna kinda guy.

"It's just imprudent to put a product as manifestly hazardous as asbestos in material such as crayons." Uhhh...what he said.
