Alright, this is downright, straight up, all around impressive. And the final result was good enough that you could tell the trees were pretty happy. Tumblr users are a creative bunch, doing stuff like writing an alien invasion story where the aliens are fought off by wildlife or expounding on wacky historical facts. Seriously, following along with MS Paint is brilliant and highly commendable.

Thomas Romain is a French artist who takes inspiration from his kids, adapting their own characters into incredibly elaborate and creative pieces of art. It's pretty cool where a kid's imagination can go, and with the technical skill of an artist applied makes it that much better.
According to this thread, Disney's strict policy that grants them exclusive ownership of any of their employees artwork also gives them the rights to any of the filth that those artists also end up creating as well. We hope Disney has a smut vault/porn cave, but it seems unlikely whether or not they would officially confirm the existence of such a thing. Tumblr has come through with some weird cartoon lore, like this dark thread on Garfield. Tumblr users also share some pretty incredible experiences, like this pizza deliverer who made a list of all the insane people she met.
We like learning how our favorite movies achieved their astounding visual effects, but sound effects can make or break the tone of a movie. It's pretty cool to think that it's someone's job to figure out what it would sound like for a mooshy robot body to be pushed through metal bars. What's even more interesting is that they decided it would sound like dog food sliding out of a can.
In terms of choosing beggars this ableist takes the cake for being a terrible display of a human being. Upon learning that the artist has autism, the choosing beggar angrily demands a refund on the grounds that the artist has autism. You've got to be kidding me!
Old but gold and also weird. Last year a facebook post of this strange conversation featured an apparently very defensive James Barrett's wife taking over JB's facebook account to deliver a prickly message to someone whose only crime was planning to draw vegetables. Anyway the lack of context, unbridled aggression and overt weirdness caused it to be shared thousands of times. Plus, it spawned a bunch of memes. It became the viral sensation known as "James Barret's Wife"

This is just so goddamn weird. We've all had awkward meetings before but the level of BS going on makes it almost hard to breath. You can tell he's trying, but everything about the situation is so unnatural that no one is really sure of where to go with it. Someone, take an improv class.
Actors, athletes and artists get a buttload of attention, but some of the best stories about them are when they don't. Sometimes these people didn't even know they were talking to a celebrity. Did you know Ben Affleck is into StarCraft? For some stranger celebrity encounters, check these out.
It started with a post about all the strange and dumb ways people create facebook events to make fun of a peculiar art installation in Chicago casually referred to as "The Bean." It ended with a tale of millionaires, artist drama, backstabbing, and the fight over the least reflective substance in the world.
Coachella has released their lineup for this year, and twitter was there with their response. People thought up some pretty interesting and specific acts. Not much of a Coachella person, but would pay to see Sandra Bullock in a blindfold, just kinda wandering around.
Thomas Romain is an animation artist who lives in Tokyo. He takes his sons drawings as inspiration and translates them into his own art style. Prepare to be jealous that your dad never adapted your own inventive childhood doodles into professional-level artwork.

Kind of completely unbelievable these people fell for the prank at hand, but hey, who knows.
