Wouldn't this look great in your rec room right next to that black velvet silkscreen of the dogs playing poker? You bet it would!

Ray Kroc's First McDonald's In Des Plaines, Illinois: Over 1 Million Served!

Ray Kroc's First McDonald's In Des Plaines, Illinois: Over 1 Million Served!

I used to work in nearby Elk Grove Village and one of my then co-workers remembered old Ray Kroc himself taking out the garbage at this very McDonalds.

The original photo from which this Intocartoon rendering was made was actually taken August 17, 2007. ("Awesome shot! The classic Detroit iron in front really set the picture up nicely!") You see, that's not really the McDonalds my co-workers spoke of:

The Des Plaines restaurant was demolished in 1984. McDonald's realized they had a history to preserve, so they constructed a complete replica of the first store on the same spot. With golden arches soaring over a glass and metal, red-and-white tiled exterior, the building largely follows the McDonald brothers' original blueprints, which they had introduced when they began franchising in 1953; a Phoenix, Arizona restaurant was the first built in this manner.

Women compete in a high-heel sprint in St.Petersburg July 21, 2007. Some 100 women took part in the race wearing high-heeled shoes with a required minimum height of 9 centimetres (3.5 inches) to compete for a shopping voucher worth 50,000 roubles (about $2,000). (via ahboon.net )

During the Cold War the only way an American sailor could see Vladivostok was through a submarine periscope. My, how times have changed . . .

Intocartoon: The Old County Courthouse, by Mark Shippy

Reader Mark Shippy did this one, and writes:

Attached is an Intocartoon image I created today of the old local county courthouse for a colorful printing project, and the darn carved stone detail is amazing! Better than the original photo! I sent this image in a proof to a non-profit group and on their Board is an editor from the local newspaper. I got a call late in the day from him asking how exactly I was able to that kind of fun image all of a sudden. I told him about the program, and amazing as it is, he told me that he can see a potential to send me photos for special humorous projects in the newspaper rather than license one each for all of their artists. This program is some of the best graphic fun I have had for many years. And Virtual Painter is now running a very close second.

Both Intocartoon and Virtual Painter are a lot of fun. You already have all sorts of digital photos, so why not do something fun with them?

I had to compress this one, so the originals look better than this.
