It’s not every day that you see human skulls used as a canvas for art, but Danish artist Frodo Mikkelsen isn’t afraid of the macabre. We should add they are actually moulds and not genuine skulls of those dearly departed. He crowns each skull with various wintry scenes of life in the countryside – cabins tucked away in the woods, abandoned shacks on a hill and even the odd curious grizzly bear having a poke around. His sculptures are as unique as they are unusual, filled with tiny details and intricate features, they vary between 22-25cm in height. Whether you’d want them on your mantlepiece at home is open to some debate but you can’t deny that they’d prove to be a terrific of a conversation starter. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below and make sure you check out Mikkelsen’s other titles and works of art right here: http://www.frodomikkelsen.dk/publications.shtml

We’ve all flicked through the odd cooking book and proudly declared “I wish I could eat that! It looks sooooooo yummy!” Well thanks to the inventive powers of Pawel Piotrowski now you can….sort of. The talented Polish designer has created a fun (yet sadly non-edible) sandwich book where each page is filled with all the delicious ingredients you might find in a gourmet sandwich or tasty salad. You don’t need to read the ingredients or descriptions to feel a sudden urge of the munchies, just feast your eyes on his work and get ready to bring lunch time forward an hour.

It turns out when you’re trying to be a champion, you don’t always have time to try to look cool. Sometimes you just have to do what it takes and hope that later the awesomeness of being champion will erase any embarrassing moments from memory. These tennis players, competing in Wimbledon over the weekend, are a pretty great example of this. Sure, they could probably snap our necks just be squeezing them between their biceps and forearms, but that’s *probably* not going to happen, so hahahahaha derpface! Here are some great expressions from the Wimbledon courts.

In an attempt to capitalize on the moment before the fervor of fandom surrounding ‘World War Z‘ began to fizzle out, Regal Cinemas offered a $50 “megaticket” that included a digital copy of the movie, a poster, a small popcorn and a pair of ‘World War Z’ 3D glasses, in addition to admission to the movie. Yup — $50 to see a Brad Pitt movie. The scariest part? They didn’t act like this was completely ridiculous. If somebody can charge $50 for a movie without batting an eye, then what comes next? The internet has come up with a few possible answers to that question. Here are a few “megaticket” packages for other summer movies. (Photoshops by Kristy Puchko)

Well one of our favorite comedians and Twitter stars Ted Travelstead has created a series on Vine called ‘Twins Talkin,’ and they are the funniest thing since sliced bread. Which is hilarious, by the way. As the videos show, it’s pretty obvious that Ted isn’t really a twin; in most of the videos you can see his arm holding the camera. Each twin has its own unique and weird personality though, and we love them both.

The photo was shared on Thursday night by Bang Bang Tattoos in NYC, which captioned the snap, “The lovely adele came in to get tattooed today.” While the meaning of the tattoo — the word “Paradise” written across the side of her left hand — isn’t known, it’s suspiciously similar to a tat on singer Lana Del Rey, who also has the same word inked on the side of her left hand (which you can see below). Very interesting. Adele has three other tattoos — one on her left wrist dedicated to her mother Penny, three horizontal dots below it that she got with the Civil Wars’ Joy Williams, and an A behind her right ear that many believe is for her son, Angelo.

Apparently Jennifer Lopez is too good to perform at the Super Bowl of Cricket, but not to put on a birthday show for a known dictator — someone her staff members say they didn’t know actually was a dictator until it was too late. Come on, people. You had one job! On Saturday (June 29), Lopez sang for the President of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, even doing a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday.’ All while allegedly not realizing that groups like the Human Rights Watch have referred to him as “among the most repressive in the world.” “Had there been knowledge of human rights issues any kind, Jennifer would not have attended,” her apologetic team said in a statement, adding that the event in question was hosted by the China National Petroleum Corp. and was not a “political event.” No word on how much Jenny (who can’t possibly still be from the block) made off the show, but we do know she was once offered $2 million to perform for Gaddafi’s son, so we estimate in that range. Performing for a dictator: $2 million in blood money. The backlash when the public hears what you did? Priceless.

Not to be outdone by his other former ‘Harry Potter’ co-stars, Daniel Radcliffe has certainly grown into quite the handsome young man. What kind of amazingly sexy wizardry is this?! It must be hard to distance yourself from the role that made you famous, a role you played in eight films over the course of most of your childhood and adolescence — but Daniel Radcliffe makes it look like a breeze. First there was the saucy stage play ‘Equus,’ in which Radcliffe notoriously got naked and revealed his manhood to the world in a way that was pretty damn symbolic. Then there was the horror flick ‘The Woman in Black,’ which, in addition to being a very scary movie, also showed the general movie-going public that Radcliffe can be something other than Harry Potter. Up next for the former boy wizard? A starring role in ‘Horns,’ an adaptation of the novel by Joe Hill, aka the son of Stephen King. So you know it’s going to be disturbing and scary. Also, he stars in ‘Kill Your Darlings’ as renowned poet Allen Ginsberg, alongside fellow cuties Dane DeHaan, Michael C. Hall, and Ben Foster.

For a funeral or Thanksgiving Day parade, bagpipes are great. But for a rock song? An Australian man will leave you thinking differently after watching his performance of AC/DC‘s ’Thunderstruck’ on the instrument. Making the whole thing even more awesome: The bagpipes shoot fire. Cam McAzie, a Perth native who has been playing for more than 15 years, is better known as the Badpiper. He’s released three albums (at least according to his Facebook page), including the recent ‘Burn,’ which includes his version of ‘Thunderstruck.’ The video has picked up quite a bit of attention — which seemingly confounds McAzie. “This viral video has spread so far and so wide,” he wrote on Facebook. “I’m not a very good tech guy, so if anyone has any info on how far this has reached please let me know. And a big welcome to all the new fans, welcome aboard!!” But it didn’t take long for him to embrace his new fame. “I WANT LETTERMAN!!!!!!!” he posted a mere 30 minutes later.

Old sexy meets new sexy this week in ‘The Lone Ranger,’ in which Armie Hammer plays the titular hero who goes on a big adventure with the help of a Native American played by Johnny Depp. It’s almost like Hammer is trying out for a role as a superhero, which we totally wouldn’t mind seeing in the future. He’s also got that very classic Prince Charming thing going on, as evidenced in last year’s Snow White movie ‘Mirror Mirror.’ Can he just be a prince in every movie, though? Get on that, Disney. Up next for Hammer? A movie based on the old classic ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.‘ — he’ll co-star with ‘Man of Steel‘ actor Henry Cavill, which is just some amazing internet fan-fiction waiting to happen. Actually, can we get both Hammer and Cavill in on ‘Magic Mike 2′? ‘Cause damn.

Courtney Love‘s life and music career have made for quite the roller-coaster ride. And while she’s known as much for her headline-making antics as her music, there’s no denying she’s released some incredible songs over the years. That said, there’s no telling what kind of a show you’re gonna get when Courtney Love rolls into town, and on Thursday night (June 27) at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., fans got quite a unique Courtney Love experience. Perhaps because Love was playing at venues nearby during the same week, this particular gig was sparsely attended, creating more of a small club atmosphere to the show. Love kicked off the show with ‘Miss World’ off Hole‘s classic ‘Live Through This’ album, and with her voice a bit strained she let the crowd sing the bulk of the chorus. While she struggled a bit vocally throughout the set, which was comprised mostly of Hole songs, she had some nice moments during ‘Honey’ and ‘Celebrity Skin.’ Love noted that it was a small crowd and attempted to touch everyone in the audience, and probably succeeded with half of that goal. Throughout the gig, Love exchanged some banter with the a few of the concertgoers, including one guy wearing a Misfits t-shirt, whom Love assumed was just there to go along with his girlfriend. She promised him she would win him over, saying, ‘Misfits dude, I’m gonna own your testes in three minutes.’ She also apparently thought she was in Providence, R.I., greeting that city a couple of times during the show. For the encore, Love came out sporting a white ‘Doll Parts’-like dress, and delivered her best vocals of the night on a cover of the Rolling Stones’ ‘Under My Thumb’ and the set-closing rendition of the Buffy Sainte-Marie song ‘Codine.’

Ministry: ‘From Beer to Eternity’ Shoot Highlights Seven Deadly Sins (1 video)

Shortly before the death of guitarist Mike Scaccia, Ministry had begun work on their 13th studio album, ‘From Beer to Eternity.’ Having heard the album, we can diligently report that thanks in part to Mike, the record absolutely rips! But to introduce you to a part of ‘From Beer to Eternity,’ we’ve got an exclusive video premiere of the photo shoot for the record’s cover art and collection of promotional pictures. Oh yeah, and the footage is laced with some brand-new, never-before-heard ‘From Beer to Eternity’ Ministry material! Teaming up with photographer Allan Amato for the ‘From Beer to Eternity’ album art, Ministry recruited a gaggle of gorgeous women, only to turn them into monstrosities later on. The behind-the-scenes video begins innocently enough, but nearly a minute in, the shoot becomes disturbing as each women begins to personify each of the Seven Deadly Sins. “The Seven Deadly Sins is the intention and the women are not really women,” Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen told us during an exclusive interview. “If you look at them, they’re not some hot models — I mean, they started out that way, but we completely mutated them just to parody the entire sexuality thing.” Ministry’s ‘From Beer to Eternity’ behind-the-scenes video also showcases how the album cover was created. The seven models were draped in a net in order to look caught, with Jourgensen himself acting as the captor. “I guess I’ll be taking some heat for being a misogynist by carrying seven women in a bag like they’re groupies or something,” Jourgensen tells us. “If I ever saw a groupie look like that on my bus, I guarantee my road manager would have them off the bus within a minute, so it’s not a sexual thing. [Laughs] And it’s certainly not misogynistic.” Stay tuned for our full interview with Jourgensen. The photo shoot captured some truly incredible and perhaps disturbing images. To check out footage from the shoot and hear bits and pieces of new Ministry material, watch the video above! ‘From Beer to Eternity’ is set for a Sept. 6 release.

Controversy sells big time – and if you publish a book that in the reviews is called “so weird that it’s sort of irresistible” – then you’re doomed to go down the road of success. That’s what happened to a New Zealand author Burton Silver and illustrator Heather Busch, after the release of their comedy book “Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics“, a collection of bizarrely colored portraits of cats. The book was designed to mock the current global obsession with cats. However, irony is not a universal strong suit of the cat lovers worldwide, so the book was both loathed as much as praised. The stunning retouching done on the cats was confused for real paint on their fur, which also added to the criticism. Silver and Busch strongly argue that none of the feline models was hurt during the making of the book, and all the vibrant colors and effects on their fur are made using Photoshop.

The clever images—which are certainly quite shocking—suggest that there is a native speaker in all of us, we just have to let him or her come out through our words. With the titles Afrochina, Indijap, and Arabmerican, the campaign alludes to the fact that, by learning a new language at the Berlitz Language School, we can eventually "speak like a native."

Mind-Boggling Gifs of Melting Portraits (5 photo)

It's one thing to allow paint to streak and drip down a canvas, but photographer Ben DeHaan creates the same trickling technique with photographs for his series titled Uncured. The photographer's portraits in the mind-boggling series seem as though they are melting right before your very eyes. How does he do it? It's actually created with an ordinary printer missing one key step. Traditional printers treat the image they are reproducing onto paper with UV light, a process that allows UV sensitive inks (typically used in commercial digital printing) to dry instantaneously and avoid messy blots and smudges. DeHaan says, "When uncured, the ink remains toxic and fluid. I am exploring the use of these printers without their essential element, UV light, in what I like to think of as a new process – UV uncurable inkjet printing perhaps?"

You probably think of a plush toy as something very cute and soft you go to sleep with. Well, at least until you get to know Patricia Waller, a German based artist, born in Chile whose toys are a little bit different. “Due to the technique of crocheting – all my works are produced by myself in handicraft – and the selection of the subject-matter, my works seem harmless at first sight. But if you take a closer look, you will discover biting irony and a strong dose of nastiness.” says Patricia. The artist is interested in our fears and our ability to suppress them – that’s why Patricia plays with various themes that we usually ignore like fears of aging, illness and disability. When looking at the pictures, many people don’t realize that these toys are really huge - for instance the shark is almost 6.5ft (2 meters) long!
