Pixel-art scene inspired by the Super Mario Mushroom Kingdom. A go-kart race takes place on a bright track surrounded by red-and-white mushrooms, green hills, floating coins and classic Mario question blocks. At the front is a sharply dressed 1960s advertising executive resembling Don Draper from Mad Men, wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette while driving his kart. Behind him, several other suited advertising men drive karts while talking on their mobile phones. The scene links three things associated with 10 March: MAR10 / Mario Day celebrating Super Mario Bros. (1985), the birthday of Jon Hamm (1971) who played Don Draper in Mad Men, and the 150th anniversary of the first telephone call in 1876. The visual joke is that Don Draper is leading the race while everyone else is distracted by their phones. 🍄📞🏁

🎸 David Gilmour turns 80 today. As the guitarist of Pink Floyd, his playing helped define albums like The Dark Side of the Moon, where music, atmosphere and visual design came together in one of the most recognisable pieces of album art ever created. 🎨 Michelangelo would be celebrating his 551st birthday today. The Renaissance master sculpted David, the iconic marble statue that still stands as one of the defining symbols of Florence and of the artistic confidence of the Renaissance. Two Davids. Two art forms. One date on the calendar. From marble sculpture in Renaissance Florence to the soaring guitar lines of progressive rock, today’s Link Salad shows how creativity echoes across centuries. #LinkSalads #VisualStorytelling #OnThisDay #HistoricalConnections #ArtAndMusic #PinkFloyd #Michelangelo #Creativity #CulturalConnections
