Shpayderman, and Free Ebooks
I've been meaning to post about this for a while:
This russianfolk gallery (via owlswater) is utterly amazing. Scenes from scifi movies done in a traditional Russian folk art style.
Be glad you can't read pseudo-old russian, or else you'd be treated to limericks like Spiderman's 'I haven't washed my [hose] since I was born / hence why I can stick to the ceiling'.

Completely unrelated, tobias_buckell has some fascinating things to say about free E-Books. The upshot being, it's not just for evangelists and small-time internet kooks, that there's an impressive lineup of famous scifi authors experimenting successfully with free ebooks (including the publishing company Tor). And that it's one more tool in an author's marketing toolbox.
