Jurassic Park Meets Dr. Seuss: Seusstastic Park

Action figure modder Sillof loves to remake popular characters by casting them in the style of different eras or genres. But when the owners of the Best Western Denver Southwest hotel approached him last Spring, they wanted him to combine two popular franchises. But he stepped up to the challenge and delivered. Welcome to Seusstastic Park!

The hotel owners asked Sillof to mashup Jurassic Park with Dr. Seuss because they were giving their business a dinosaur-themed makeover. Also because they just love Dr. Seuss. Sillof came up with Catahaturuses, a Lorceritax, Dilos, Yellosneechtors, and the most terrifying creature of them all, the Grinchasaurus rex. He also came up with a Seuss-ified version of the Jurassic Park gate and car.

But that’s not all. In true Dr. Seuss fashion, the hotel owners provided Sillof with the first and last stanzas of a poem about Seusstastic Park, and Sillof filled in the rest of the poem. You can read the poem on Sillof’s website. Sillof said he had fun with the project and is thrilled with how it turned out. He also said that the hotel owners may auction off the figures for charity, so keep an eye out on the Best Western Facebook page if you want to own a piece of Seusstastic Park.

What If Dr. Seuss Wrote Star Wars?

I grew up reading a whole lot of Dr. Seuss. I also happen to be a huge Star Wars fan. So you can understand my excitement when I saw three limited-edition prints by former Disney animator and character artist Jason Peltz that combined these two together in the most seamless way possible.

The cover above is a play on one of Dr. Seuss’s most-beloved titles, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Only instead of fish, we’ve got droids instead.

This one right here takes on one of Dr. Seuss’s most famous books featuring his very famous cat. But instead of The Cat in the Hat, we’ve got Yoda with his signature can instead.

Finally, we’ve got a Wookiee taking on the cover for the book entitled There’s a Wocket in My Pocket. See what they did there?

Google Play’s End of Summer Sale outed by discounted apps, lets the Lorax speak for the savings

Google Play's End of Summer Sale outed by discounted app descriptions, lets the Lorax speak for the savings

It looks like a handful of select apps have outed Mountain View’s Labor day plans: Google Play’s End of Summer Sale. SwiftKey 3, The Lorax — Dr. Seuss, Square Enix’s Crystal Defenders, and other apps are now brandishing deep discounts, almost uniformly attributing the savings to the End of Summer Sale. Not every title on discount claims to be part of the unannounced event, however — Max Payne Mobile slashed its price by 67 percent without so much as a hint at the alleged festivities. Google hasn’t made the event official just yet, but we’d be willing to wager the deals will run through the holiday weekend. Check out the source link below to start making the most of your Google gift cards.

Update: Google’s made the sale official, featuring 18 discounted apps for your shopping pleasure. Check out the official list of sale items at the updated source link below, but don’t limit yourself: Max Payne Mobile and a handful of other deeply discounted games aren’t on it.
