Time-Lapse Drawing of the Oscars Selfie Is Golden

You might have thought the Oscars selfie was dead. After all, there's not much more you can do when it's been both Simpsons-ized and made out of Lego bricks. But it hasn't been drawn -- until now. Artist Heather Rooney gave the famed selfie one of her excellent drawn renditions, as she's known for on YouTube.
