Glancing through pintrest is one of my favorite things to do when I am feeling bored with the internet. I always find myself looking at projects for my house, crafty things to make and random things that I find enjoyable. It is also a great way to see what my family and friends (and various random people who follow me and I follow) 'pin' for later. One such person pinned an interesting photo of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street portrayed as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. I followed the pin and found this wonderful family website featuring art of a Muppet's/ Sesame Street artist inserted in famous paintings throughout time.
Here are some of my favorites (but there are a ton more on the website):
