The Telegraph has an interesting story about a  Mr and Mrs Green (their real name) who were recently wed in the UK. The theme of their wedding? Why, Shrek of course. Apparently the now Mrs Green thought her husband bore some resemblance to the green ogre, and thus came the idea for the wedding.”The idea just came to me. I knew what we would go as them because Keith looks just like Shrek. It was funny because when we said our vows Keith had these green ears sprouting from the top of his head.””I tried to convince my teenage son to dress up as the Donkey but he wasn’t having any of it.” No word on any Madagascar or Kung Fu Panda weddings that may be planned for couples elsewhere.There is no footage I could find of the wedding, but perhaps this is what the reception looked like?

I was bopping around the website for The Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d’Angouleme (more about that later in the week) and discovered the work of French illustrator Anouk Ricard. Amusingly awkward and extremely charming, the style is perfect for animation. (As you can see above, in a stop motion adaptation of her book Anna et Froga.)

She also contributed to a series of shorts called Avez-Vous Déjà Vu?, created by French comic Alain Chabat. Who, by the way, dubbed the voice of Mike Meyer’s voice in all three Shrek movies.

Are you afraid of CANDY? Now I am!

Check out her website.

PS: She sings, too.
