Spanish born artist Marina Molares has a lot of interesting work in her portfolio. We only pulled from her most recent series of collages to show you these fun images, but she has a great collection of photography and installation work as well.
Alexis, if you like this, you might like Storey Elementary. Kind of a similar aesthetic, and a really cool lady.

Sounds like somebody missed the point of, say, EVERYTHING about the past few weeks on campus?
I much prefer the Lindy West philosophy on people who tweet things they shouldn’t.
You “can” say the n-word. Go ahead and say it if you want, Skrillex. And I will go ahead and give you the world’s most sidewaysiest eyeball forever. Because it hurts people. Why do you want to hurt people?
In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.
Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.
This certainly has been a week for people saying stupid things on the Internet.

Inside Transgender Singer Tom Gabel’s Rolling Stone Interview
Do you know why she wanted to reveal this in such a hugely public way? I’m not sure why she wanted to do it in exactly this way, but I think she wanted to not have a thousand conversations with people. This was a way to push herself a little. She said that so many times she’d make a goal to tell her wife Heather or the band, and she’d make excuses and put it off. This was setting up a deadline for herself. She knew this would come out at the beginning of May. Also, she just wanted to have something she could point people towards. Instead of having people e-mail and call over and over, she could just say, “This article explains everything and after that we can talk.” It was a good way to get the news out all at once.
Is she worried about the effect this will have on her career? How about on her singing voice? She’s hopeful that the percentage of fans that won’t be cool with this will be small. She said, “I know our fans and it may be too much for some of them to take, but I know that a lot of them are open-minded and welcoming. I hope they’ll come on this journey with me.” The reaction I’ve seen has been almost all positive.
As far as her voice, she’s not worried right now. So far the only kind of medical thing she’s having done is hormones. She says the estrogen doesn’t effect your voice. If she goes ahead with some of the cosmetic things – like tracheal shaving, which whittles down your Adam’s apple – there’s a possibility that might effect her voice. But she’s really hesitant to do that because of that. As of right now, she should sound the same, as loud and aggro and awesome as ever, just as a woman.

The first Against Me! song I ever heard.
This is still my favorite, though.
"We love Lady Gaga for being closely involved with her career to a degree that would send most of her peers insane, but we also love Britney for being a Britney sort of popstar. We don’t have much patience with people who criticise Lady Gaga for not dancing like Britney or Britney for not writing like Lady Gaga, because we know that the trick with pop is to define your own terms then succeed or fail against those, not to measure your worth against your contemporaries."
