No one wants to be stuck in the friend zone. The moral of these photos is to not get stuck in the friend zone like these guys. We all feel bad for these guys who try so desperately but aren't getting anywhere. So next time someone says the words lets just be friends, run, and run fast.
Here is another round of unusual festivals celebrated in October in different parts of the world. This would be a fun list to try to check out over the course of your lifetime!
Korean artist Young-Deok Seo never ceases to amaze us with his skilled ability to turn ordinary bicycle chains into extraordinary figurative sculptures. Through his construction the artist continues to comment on man's disintegration into a mechanical universe by using a cold, hard material. Using the human form as his template, the accomplished sculptor mimics the intricate shape and curves of the human face, deep in thought, for his Meditation series.
New York-based artist Larry Kagan creates abstract wire sculptures that transform into recognizable figures when exposed to light from a precise angle. Similar to the likes of Diet Wiegman, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Kagan's sculptures cast figurative shadows that draw the eye in amazement. Rather than focusing on the constructed steel structure, one's gaze is turned to the shadow drawings on the adjacent wall. Kagan explains, "We are more or less aware of the presence of shadows, since they tell us something about our environment, but we do not actually look at them – unless they call attention to themselves by some unfamiliar or unexpected behavior. My challenge was to induce viewers to actually look at the shadow rather than solely at the steel. I began shifting more of the narrative burden to shadow. The more content the eyes could detect in the shadow, the more time and attention they would expend on exploring its details…"
The music world is filled with countless clinches and most of them we roll our eyes and joke about. Of course on the other hand the clinches are what separates that wannabes and the superstars. That and the talent of course. A trade mark can be good but you don't want it to consume you as an artist. unfortunately that happens quiet a bit. Here are 9 of the worst pop-star trademarks.
The new photographic series “Smoking Kids” by conceptual photographer Frieke Janssens is unsettling, disturbing, provocative & unquestionably compelling. She photographed children aged between four and nine, theatrically clothing them to mimic their “glamour” stereotypes – all of which are associated with smoking. From the vintage cinema dame, to the worn out housewife through to the tough guy having a big drag on a fat cigar – all portrayed & captured in melancholy detail.
At 86 years old Hugh Hefner is still going strong. He is currently on his third wife Crystal Harris who is 26 years old. His number of wives doesn't come close to the number of women he has slept with over the years. When asked just how many women Hefner replied "Over a thousand, I'm sure" and when asked for a specific number he replied " How could I possibly know?" Hefner probably lost count a long time ago. Just because his numbers were high doesn't mean Hefner wasn't faithful. Hugh said that he has always been faithful in each of his marriages. He explained that he made up for the time lost when he wasn't married. At one point he was dating up to 7 girls at once and even had a TV show on E! called "The Girls Next Door" which featured Hugh dating 3 of his playboy playmates at the same time. Hugh married Crystal Harris last new years eve and they both explained how in love they are regardless of the age difference. Crystal said “Hef loves me more than anybody else in a relationship ever has. It took me time away to realize that. I think I realized that here is where I’m meant to be.” Happily married Hugh is back to staying faithful for now. Lets see how long this marriage will last.
Based in Portoscuso, Italian photographer Alberto Seveso's work has recently become quite the hot commodity for musicians.

This series includes many of the unused shots that were taken during these coveted photo shoots.
Drunken British students rampaged through a seaside town in fancy dress during an annual festival in Spain. Thousands of young people descended on the popular resort of Salou for a week of partying, with some of the party-goers creating scenes that left locals horrified. Some British students were spotted falling over, exposing themselves and vomiting at the annual Saloufest, while one girl was seen collapsing semi-conscious on the pavement.
One guy made this picture in memory of his dead friend and posted it to Deviantart.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia-based illustrator Tang Yau Hoong has just released a brand new series where he pairs one of his illustrations with a famous quote. A few years ago, we discovered Hoong and we quickly became fans after we saw his ability to cleverly incorporate negative space into many of his works. As he told us then, "I enjoy making illusion art because it has the ability to mislead us. We rely on sight in our lives and yet it is so fragile that we could easily be deceived by what we see."
The entire field was roaring and applauding as the boy hit the ball and took his base. The joy on his face was almost indescribable. This handicap boy couldnt have been happier to be on the field. Unbelievable!

He’s a battle-tested, decorated army sergeant who risked his life to protect our country. But it’s a more personal risk he took that’s getting a lot of attention. Staff Sgt. Jesse Knott rescued his cat, Koshka, while serving in Afghanistan. “He was showing some signs that people weren’t taking very good care of him,” Staff Sgt. Knotts said.
Sculptor Lorenzo Quinn playfully designs disembodied hands playing with life-size toys. The artist's public installation titled Esto no es un juego, or This is not a game, is especially interesting in its declaration juxtaposed with a pair of hands holding onto what appear to be plastic toys. Like the set of a child's imagination gone wild at playtime, the display is adorned with classic green army men holding varying stances. It is simultaneously playful and powerful, sending a message about the seriousness of war that is made light of through toys.
Artist Sukhi Barber was born in England and, from a very young age, she was always interested in pursuing her artistic passions. After attending art school and completing her formal training in sculpture, she traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal, and spent twelve years studying what she describes as the "timeless quality of peace and balance that she found in the art of Asia."
The 501st TK Helmet project successfully raised $50,000 for the Make-A-Wish foundation through the sale of these cool customized Storm trooper Helmets. Star wars does it again. Way to go 501st.
Spanish artist Emilio Ferrari creates extreme, hyper realistic drawings with just paper and some pencils. Every drawing has photographic qualities within the details, and it can take the self-taught artist up to two weeks to complete one of his visually complex creations. In contrast with the realistic accuracy of each piece, Ferrari includes a touch of surrealism in his illustrations. For example, a wide-eyed man's mustache grows unexpectedly upward and a scared young man has unnaturally perfect drops of blood trickling from his nose.
This baby squirrel was rescued from the bag and then raised and nurtured into a healthy little animal by the finder. Luckly for us this man tracked the baby squirrels progress and posted pictures on his tumblr account.
Shrouded within the park of Villa Demidoff (just north of Florence, Italy), there sits a gigantic 16th century sculpture known as Colosso dell'Appennino, or the Appennine Colossus. The brooding structure was first erected in 1580 by Italian sculptor Giambologna. Like a guardian of the pond in front of him, the giant is in an endless watchful pose, perched atop his earthy seat.

The only thing David is bending in these photos is his back. David Beckham the normally sure footed soccer star slipped, fell and nearly split his pants while showing off his free-kick technique to a group of young Chinese players. Maybe he shouldn't kick a soccer ball around wearing a full suite. Not good Beckham. This will bruise his ego.
Broadcaster Michael Schiavello repeatedly pronounces Danny Mainus’ last name as “my anus”. As the fight went on the joke got funnier and funnier. Poor Broadcaster Michael Schiavello will always be the butt of this joke.

New Banksy works are fairly rare these days; he popped up with a couple for The Olympics, but otherwise he's been fairly quiet in the last couple of years. Fortunately , animator ABVH has taken existing Banksy works and made something new, by creating these sensational animated gifs, bringing them vividly to live. Amazing!
The majority of the x-ray photographs you’ll find the web, centre around numerous objects that people have 1. Inserted up their own Bum (totally by accident of course!) 2. Been stabbed with. 3. Have somehow eaten. Which is why talented British photographer Nick Veasey is a welcome breath of fresh air to the medium. His artworks are created from x-ray imaging with partial photomanipulations with Photoshop. It makes for a vivid and at times breathtaking combination. Here are some amazing examples of his best work, which we’re sure you’ll agree – is truly spectacular.
Upcoming Mexican artist José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros puts a deliciously devious twist on those famous Disney characters that graced everyone’s childhood. Appropriating beloved Disney heroes and heroines in his latest exhibition titled “Disenchanted”, Ontiveros places them in the darker human realities of voyeurism, vanity, perversion and addiction. The strength of time-honored iconoclasm and the weakness of haphazard ideology awkwardly sitting side by side – just don’t let your kids see them.
Artist Diet Wiegman manages to sculpt mounds of irregularly shaped structures that are transformed into an intricately detailed silhouette when a light shines on it from a precise angle. Similar to the light and shadow sculptures of artistic duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Wiegman leaves audiences in awe with his puzzling ability to cast remarkably figurative shadows from heaps of seemingly abstract sculptures.
Over the past 20 years, Vermont-based artist Luciana Frigerio has developed an extensive black and white photography portfolio. However, recently, she has turned her attention to paper art, using books as the foundation for her unique Folded Book Sculptures. She says, "I cut, fold, and play with books and paper whenever I can."

It’s never nice when you’re precious Mr Bigglesworth dies. Some families visit the taxidermist to get their furry friend stuffed into oblivion so they can place them neatly on the mantlepiece for eternity. But if you thought that was more than a little morbid, wait until you see what Amsterdam-based sculptor Cedric Laquieze can do to your dead pet…. Forget simply having your pet stuffed into an awkward pose, how about getting its skeleton covered in fake flowers so you can use it as the main feature as your next dinner party? No? Yeah we thought that would be your answer.
