We’re officially adding Terry Border to our list of favorite artists. He takes everyday objects & literally bringing them to life with his humor and vision. When asked about his inspiration, he simply stated: “Basically, I get ideas for photographs when everyday objects remind me of something else. Then I try to think about how I can show others the connection I made. The next step – I try really hard to take it one step further – add humor, emotion of some kind, maybe an ‘aha’ moment. For example, with Mail Order Bride, I came up with the characters, but the little chair against the door really makes that shot for most people. Then again, sometimes an idea just pops into my head. That makes me happy.” Terry Border then – smart, funny, conceptual and unique. Don’t forget to tell us which is your fav!

Cats. The Internet loves them, so it makes sense that pet food maker Purina would sponsor a cat-themed game jam called the Friskies "Games for Cats Hackathon." The event challenges game designers to create games or apps that cats can play with. The grand prize-winning design team will receive $15,000, while runners-up will be awarded $3,000 and $2,000 to take home.

Photographer Troy Paiva took these spooky light-painted night photos of the Presidio Pet Cemetery in San Francisco back in 2011. Due to highway construction going on at the time, the cemetery was covered with a temporary roof, giving the site a claustrophobic, tunnel-like atmosphere. The Presidio Pet Cemetery dates back to the 1950s, when families at the Presidio army base began burying their pets at the site.

Another amazingly clever art project. For his “Injections” series, artist Bradley Hart injects paint into bubble wrap to create photo realistic pictures. Hart works from photo references, using each bubble like a pixel, which gives images a curious pixilated look.

Gotta love Google for their innovations, yesterday Google announced that panoramic Street View imagery is now available for four of the world’s great mountains: Everest, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, and Mount Elbrus. The mountains are four of the Seven Summits—the highest mountains in each of the seven continents. Google employees captured the imagery on a series of mountaineering expeditions using a lightweight tripod and camera setup that is normally used in the company’s Business Photos program. As part of the expeditions they also captured beautiful panoramic imagery of the surrounding areas. Go explore!

 I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this. Pears that look like chubby little Buddha-like babies have been spotted for sale in Chinese supermarkets, marketed as “happy/joyful doll pears.” To create these pear dolls, the fruit is molded into its humanoid shape during the growth process on the tree itself. Daily Mail reported last year that an entrepreneurial farmer named Hao Xianzhang has been developing the process for several years and hopes to sell them in the United Kingdom.

In Messe Kopps’ very clever short video “Forward,” a guy goes on a walk in a bizarro backwards version of Jerusalem. The video was shot in one take, and the backwards effect was achieved by having the main character walk backwards, then reversing the video in post production.

Amazing! Check out this very unique and interesting art project. In his ongoing street art series “The Living Wall,” Russian artist Nikita Nomerz brings life to decrepit buildings in Russia by painting faces on them. Nomerz travels extensively around Russia and makes an effort to paint a character in each place he visits.

South Padre Island, Texas, is known as the trashiest Spring Break destination and encourages excessive drinking on the beach with bars charging as little as $9.50 per cocktail. Interestingly there are approximately 60 daily casualties as a result of drinking, drugs and accidents.

Every year 30,000 people assemble in the streets of Bunyol, Spain to participate in the largest tomato fight in the world. The event is called La Tomatina. 125,000 kg of tomatoes are brought into the city via truck so ammunition is never short. 5 massive tomato-packed rockets are exploded in the air to commence the fight. There are only two rules:

1) You must squish each tomato before throwing it so that the force of the vegetable against you target’s head will not cause injury

2) Only tomatoes can be thrown

A new owner of the house found $1,700 in cash and a collection of old vinyls under its floor. This was quiet the find. I wish something like this would happen to me. Wouldn't you like to find a hidden floorboard that contained cash and some collectibles? Lucky new owner.

Imagine you coming home from work or going groccery shopping and boom there's  a sea lion crossing the street. Leaving by the sea has it's advantages including a live sea lion show right in the middle of your street. The funniest thing is that the animal did obey the law by using a zebra crossing to make its way across the street:)telegraph.co.uk reports:

The half-tonne creature crawled out of the water in the beach resort of Balneario Camboriu in the southern state of Santa Catarina, then found its way onto the town's main boulevard.

Traffic ground to a halt for 20 minutes as the three-metre long sea lion slid across the busy road.

Police and firefighters threw water over the sea lion to keep it wet until it returned to the water an hour and a half later.

Cut coin jewelry art is a popular method of turning coins into jewelry. Most cut coin art is achieved by drilling a small hole (or holes) into the coin and then using a jeweler saw (which has various types of blades) to cut away parts of the coin. Many artists tend to focus on the stamped figure of a coin, cutting away the space around them so it appears to float within the border. While the images you see here are close-ups (so you can appreciate the detail), it’s important to remember how small some of these coins actually are. The intricate and precise skill required is truly impressive. For those wondering about the legality of such a craft, in the United States it is perfectly legal (18 U.S.C. §331) so long as you don’t try to represent the coin as anything other than an altered coin. For example, you can’t change the date of a coin and try to pass it off as an earlier version and you can’t claim it is an original if it has been altered.

Chris Guise is an artist and bonsai enthusiast from Maidenhead, England. A mechanical engineer by trade, Chris has a beautiful collection of Bonsai trees that he has cultivated on his Flickr page. In the Bonsai below, entitled Bag End Bonsai Trayscape, Chris created the home of Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee; where both the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit tales begin and end. The level of detail is stunning and it’s truly a fantastic piece of living artwork. To see this and many more beautiful Bonsai trees, check out Chris Guise’s stream on Flickr.

Located on the outskirts of Tokyo, behind a small government building, underneath a soccer field and skateboard park, is an incredibly huge storm sewer system, built to protect the city’s 13 million residents from heavy rainfall and tropical storm floods. The official name of these long, underground tunnels is the “Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel”, but is more commonly called G-Cans. Built between 1992 and 2006, at the cost of $3 billion, this huge underground water management system comprises of 6.4 km of tunnels up to 50 meters underground connecting 5 giant silos, 65 meters tall and 32 meters wide, to one massive tank – the Temple.

We are always seeing funny videos of cute cats playing the piano, baffling their dog companions, and wildly chasing light reflections on the wall, but it's not often that these fuzzy little creatures are portrayed as grumpy. Until now. Based in New York, artist Aja Apa-Soura works out of her home studio to produce these vibrant paintings with a palette knife and pure, undiluted oils. For these Grumpy Cats, thick daubs of paint cover the canvas in vibrant, textured feline portraits, some of which are blended naturally into backgrounds reminiscent of famous paintings like Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh and The Scream by Edvard Munch. Even with such extremely disgruntled expressions, these cute cats will still make you laugh. In addition to this project, Aja also explores a variety of subjects including an!?id=281722520extensive collection of female nudes, as well as floral, urban cityscapes, abstracts, and landscapes, all of which you can check out at Sagittarius Gallery on Etsy.

When you walk down the street, it's easy to pass right by a fire hydrant without thinking twice. We have grown accustomed to these functional curbside water sources as regular fixtures in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Well, artist Adam Kennedy does more than just pass by these emergency water connections. With a creative eye and a great imagination, he turns them into something spectacular and out of this world. The San Francisco-based artist is inspired by the decaying round tops of old fashioned fire hydrants in his home town. Kennedy sees all kinds of new life in the worn patterns formed by the chipped metal. For this project, entitled Planet Universe, Kennedy ventures around town searching for rusty fire hydrants, taking pictures of them, and then transforming the photographs into these unique planets. With digital manipulation, he completely changes your average fire hydrant into a detailed glimpse of outer space. He says, "We are constantly looking for evidence that there may be life out there and I hope people get a little sense of discovery when they look at these planets. I hope it also makes them think about what there is on earth that they might have been missing all along.”

You'll want to remember the name Paolo Troilo. A fast rising star in the art scene, the 40-year-old is known for his incredibly expressive black and white works that have a photorealistic quality about them. Of course, that's not the most interesting part. The highly energetic pieces were not created by charcoal or pastel, they were made by splattering and spreading paint on canvas using nothing but fingers. Yes, these are finger paintings. Troilo's incredible works are just starting to garner him a lot of attention, especially in the United States. Three years ago, Gap's visual creative director, Stephen Brady, was visiting one of his stores in Milan when he just happened to walk past a gallery that held one of Troilo's paintings. As SF Gate states, "It was an exuberant piece, with photorealistic detail outlining abs, biceps and the shades of the shirt - perfect, he thought, for their new flagship store in Rome. He commissioned one with the gallerist that day." "What Brady didn't know was that it was a finger painting."

Photographer Sean King captures the beautiful glow of lava-flowing volcanoes against the starry night sky in Hawaii. Despite being colorblind and facing temperatures of up to 2,000°F, the determined and dedicated photographer manages to produce awe-inspiring images that boast the fiery radiance of molten rock gushing and streaming down the natural landscape.

A compilation of very weird things that actually exist. These are not a joke. Pretty strange Items that are sold in this world. This is one weird gallery of items.

Treat your self to this amazing series of illustrations created by Vicktrola Prints. Which one’s your favorite? Ron is pretty incredible, but good lord, Donna’s face. Seeing these TV Characters as super heroes is too funny. This is a great concept. They should do this with more funny TV Shows.

Don’t fall for these pictures, because they’re all dangerously diabolical trap.. These people might want to stop and thing before moving forward. They are all about to fall into some funny traps. Don't get tricked or fooled, These are all traps.

Brazilian photographer Vanessa Dualib has a talent for seeing your basic, everyday food as more than first meets the eye. In her project, entitled Brincando Com a Comida (Playing With Food), everything from potatoes to pea pods are transformed into playful animal creations. Dualib has an energy for life and she says this project is a tribute to three of her favorite things: life, food, and photography.

In 1896, Viennese authorities decided to invest in large-scale gas and electric utilities to provide the townsfolk with coal gas for stoves, street lights and furnaces. Previously gas was provided by an English firm called Inter Continental Gas Association (ICGA). Once the contracts with the ICGA expired, the city decided to construct facilities to handle its own gas needs. So they constructed four massive storage tanks called gasometers, in the 11th district of Simmering. The tanks were enclosed by a brick façade, each approximately 70 meters tall and 60 meters in diameter, and with a storage capacity of over 90,000 cubic meters. At the time, they were the largest in Europe.

Korean artist Jiyen Lee has created a series of hypnotizing digital collages that present people going up and down stairs, as seen from a bird's eye view. Each puzzling assemblage features an unidentifiable traffic of pedestrians on an endless journey. It also remains unclear whether they are actually ascending or descending the steps in front of them, as Lee has taken the artistic liberty of reconfiguring images in unimaginable compositions. Like an M. C. Escher painting, the artist's digitally manipulated images present a saturation of staircases with no perceivable beginning or end.

Throughout the years, I've found myself drawn to photo manipulations or digitally enhanced images that ride that fine line between reality and fantasy. They're the ones where you have to take a few extra seconds to really decide, for yourself, if what you're seeing could actually exist in nature. Today, we take a look at a handful of these images that are spectacular, in their own right, but also have that air of mystery about them. While nature provides us endless amount of unbelievable imagery, some highly talented artists and photographers have taken it upon themselves to push their creative boundaries and to show us just what happens when you let your imagination run free.
