One of the most popular book-related blogs on Tumblr, Slaughterhouse 90210 is a perfect marriage of high and low culture.

It’s where Kurt Vonnegut meets Brenda Walsh, Oscar Wilde meets Arrested Development, and Snooki meets Somerset Maugham. This classic Tumblr celebrates its three-year anniversary this week.

Name Richey Beckett
Location Wales, UK

Richey Beckett is an illustrator from South Wales in the UK. He works in pen and ink, mostly on music-related design projects like album artwork, merchandise, and poster art. “For me, working with new bands, exciting new records treading fresh ground—that’s as rewarding as working for any established act because you never know where it’s going to take you and what the finished record is capable of achieving,” he says. Richey’s dark and mysterious works have been exhibited around the world, and he sells limited edition prints through his store.

Name Every Hall of Famer
Location Austin, TX

Summer Anne Burton is drawing a picture of every member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s 295 drawings, each studded with annotations, stats, and quotes, in the order they were inducted. Starting last year with Ty Cobb, who was inducted in 1936, today she’s up to 1978 with Eddie Mathews. Summer got the idea after posting drawings of baseball players on her blog. As she told ESPN.com, “I had some old Astros programs that my grandmother found in her garage and gave to me, so I started drawing all these old Astros players I’d never heard of before, and I got really into it. And then it hit me as a fully formed idea: I’m just gonna draw every Hall of Famer.” Summer also enjoys bad TV, good books, and tacos.
