Mr. Rochester, his foot supported by the cushion; he was looking at Adèle and the dog: the fire shone full on his face. I knew my traveller with his broad and jetty eyebrows; his square forehead, made squarer by the horizontal sweep of his black hair. I recognised his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin, and jaw—yes, all three were very grim, and no mistake. His shape, now divested of cloak, I perceived harmonised in squareness with his physiognomy…My master’s colourless, olive face, square, massive brow, broad and jetty eyebrows, deep eyes, strong features, firm, grim mouth.
It's Jane Eyre's Edward Rochester, as conjured up using law-enforcement composite technology. Brian Joseph Davis had the very clever idea to create police sketches of literary characters using descriptions found in their novels. Here's another:
You can marvel at the rest of Davis's composites here.

All this narrative magnificence comes to us via Storytime Online, a SAG-funded program whose selling point is essentially what I presented above: famous people reading children's books. Any book that is read by a famous Joe is also available for purchase (for you Victorians who actually prefer to read to your own children in the flesh — OMG).
This almost makes me wish I had kids. Almost.

I started to wonder, what happens to all those video game props when games become old….do they get stored away in a digital world or do they fade away with time? The famous steel beams from Donkey Kong have served their time but I could not pass by such an ingenious design…. So as a designer I though how can I encourage Mario to take this back. I’m sure with popularity of Mario he is not a simple plumber anymore and he wouldn’t want some rusty beat up steel beams at his place but he would probably need some kind of sweet looking wall to put his awards and trophies on.
You can view more photos of the wall and the rest of Chak's designs here.
