A father's incredible effort to cope with son's terminal cancer


 When his son Joel was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2010, game developer Ryan Green stated work on a project deisgned to help him and his family cope with their situation and potentially help others who found themselves facing the same predicament.

The game, titled 'That Dragon, Cancer" was produced through Kick Starter and is due to be released later this year. it's an incredible piece of work, about the bravest of little boys.


Tragically, Joel lost his battle for life on March 14th 2014 at the age of just 5 years old. Hopefully this game will help him to live on way beyond his years and fulfill his father's wishes - "that players might care about my son the way I do."

Here's an extremely touching piece written by The Newyorker.

This may be the cleverest piece of work I've seen in a while

These amazing sculptures are created by Toronto-based artist Cybele Young using Japnese papers.










Here work, in her words...
Engaging with abstract and familiar motifs, I juxtapose sculptures to create a sense of dialogue or play between them. I approach my work in series and components, ultimately building an ongoing inventory of personal experience and observation.
I compile these in various arrangements to create communities that interact and form new relationships – much like the small seemingly insignificant moments in our everyday lives that come together to create unexpected outcomes. These manifest as miniature theatres – one act plays, where shifts of scale and perception occur. Despite the absence of the human form there is an implied presence, where the viewer can project themselves into another world.
 Wonderful stuff.
