Let's get this party started. Oh, boy, let's.

Local artist Rachel Niffenegger's work is unsettling and strange. And really awesome. This painting is my favorite.

Can you spot us $100K? We're going to buy an 8-foot wide television.

Napping is definitely awesome. And a drawing of a sleepy monkey illustrating "sleepy periods" is nothing short of amazing.

Ha ha, fart noises.

Finally: Comcast is going to start carrying the Big Ten network.

These images of Mars are astonishing.

Ravinia has commissioned jazz legend Ramsey Lewis to create a new work to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday.

The Brookfied Zoo's Southern Hairy-Nosed Wombats are scary cute.
