I Wish I Could Draw Something.....!
Here at TruffleShuffle.com we have become slightly addicted to Draw Something this week! For any of you not yet in the know about this new craze that is our latest obsession, basically it is an online form of the drawing game Pictionary. You are given a word and while you draw it on your phone screen or computer your friends have to guess the word you are drawing (well, trying!)
We thought our efforts were pretty good till we found these amazing masterpieces which quite frankly make our 'pictures' look more like colourful scribbles!
Drawsome Drawings on Tumblr has an awesome gallery dedicated to Draw Something works of art so we thought we would share some of our favourites with you including Lion King, Hello Kitty, Darth Vader, Pokemon and Superman hopefully inspire your future Draw Something creations!
We also found this amazing collection of Drawsome Batman inspired pics, including Batman and PacMan, Batman and Mario - click here to see what else Batman has been getting up to in the world of Draw Something!
We can't help thinking that if we were playing with some of these fab artists, the guessing part would become a whole lot easier!
Go Cartoon Crazy at TruffleShuffle.
Being a nipper in the 80s means that cartoons were a pretty big part of my T.V viewing. So needless to say cartoons related products are probably my favourite genre on TruffleShuffle. With so many fantastic licenses and designs to choose from picking one favourite product would be next to impossible. So I thought I would show you my Top 10 products but it actually ended up being my Top 13?!?!?
From early memories of watching Long-Distance Clara on Pigeon Street to running round using Sight-beyond-Sight like Lion-O with my sister pretending to be Snarf from the Thundercats, all the products below jog fantastic memories for me, hopefully they do for you too.....

The Real Life Springfield is finally revealed!
I think I speak for everyone when I say our childhoods would not have been the same without the loveable characters of Springfield. In fact...childhood? About 85% of my Sundays are spent on the sofa watching The Simpsons thinking 'I haven't seen this one - why haven't I seen this one'? The endless pot of goodness is brought to us by Matt Groening - who recently revealed a secret about his inspiration for the setting.
Classed as one of the best-kept secrets in television history, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening has now pointed to Springfield, Oregon, as his inspiration for the animated home town of Homer and the gang. Groening told Smithsonian magazine recently that he was inspired by the television show 'Father Knows Best', which took place in a place called Springfield. He worked out that Springfield was one of the most common city names in the US.
"In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, 'This will be cool; everyone will think it's their Springfield'. And they do," he said.
The show has made a running joke of hiding the true Springfield location. In one episode, Lisa points to Springfield on a map, but the animated "camera view" is blocked by Bart's head
The city has already incorporated the Simpsons into local lore. The Springfield Museum features a couch similar to the animated one shown in the show's opening credits, and a plaque marking the movie's release.
Here are some snaps from the real Springfield, and the Springfield we know and love...
Even Superheroes Get Old!
How cool are these amazing Superhero themed wax sculptures from the French artist Gilles Barbier.
Ceated as part of his 'LâHospice' installation, they depict his idea of how some of our favourite superheroes might be spending their retirement.
Flabby Catwoman sleeps after the lunch, Mr. Fantastic limbs are overstretched, The Incredible Hulk rests in his wheelchair, while Wonder Woman stands by Captain Americaâs gurney.
