In Spring 2010, the idea of The Boneyard Project was first devised by Eric Firestone and organized by curator Carlo McCormick. What the project entailed was the revival of "nose art" which was popularized during the World War II era. It involves reinterpreting the body of an aircraft - a sort of airplane graffiti. Firestone's concept has since evolved into a larger goal in which various international contemporary artists are set to redesign the entirety of old, out-of-use military planes.

Porn for Pregnant Ladies really made me laugh. For any woman who has or is going through pregnancy or for any man who's had to endure his significant other's ups and downs (while standing on the sidelines), you'll appreciate this hilarious set. It was created by freelance art director and graphic designer Amy Morrison.

Artist David Choe hit the streets again this past week to participate in the Terminal Kings project in Denver, CO. Working with friends DVS-1 and Joseph To, crowds watched as he created these amazingly detailed, bright, and massive 8’ tall 100’ long murals. The three murals are a part of Denver International Airport’s Art & Culture program.

Tattoos are extremely common today. Unfortunately we see more bad/ regrettable tattoos than we see good ones these days. This page is a nice reminder that every once in a while tattoos can be done right and look like beautiful works of art. These tattoo artists got it right. These are really cool and unique ink ideas some even show images hidden within images.

Interesting T-Shirt from China, packed in tight envelope. To put the thing on, it needs to soak in water, but after that it takes the original form.

After looking at all the magnificent detail in this sculpture by Shinichi Hara, I couldn't visually pinpoint what it was made from. Given the large white block from which it started from, I considered that "White Dream" was made of styrofoam. When I learned that it was made of marble, however, it almost seemed too obvious. I was a bit shocked at how the artist seemed to effortlessly carve out so much movement and fluidity into his masterpiece. Truly amazing!

Ghadames, known as the “pearl of the desert”, is an oasis town in the Nalut District of the Tripolitania region in southwestern Libya. It is one of the oldest pre-Saharan cities and an outstanding example of a traditional settlement. The town has a population of around 10,000, mainly Berbers, who live in tightly clustered traditional mud-brick-and-palm houses, packed together like a honeycomb. The houses have a typical vertical architecture - the ground floor is used to store supplies, then another floor for the family, and at the top, open-air terraces are reserved for the women. Rooftop walkways allow women to move freely, concealed from men’s view. Overhanging structures cover the alleys between houses creating an almost underground network of passageways.

Long Island-based photographer Laina Briedis' seasonal images emanate a naturally Earthy beauty. A common tactic in her work is to isolate limbs or hide the subject's face within a frame and incorporate an element of nature (leaves or flowers) against an open backdrop. It's difficult to tell whether the female form or the natural environment is the main subject. It actually seems like they are both being featured as one in the same. Both are beautiful and, as indicated in one of the photographer's images, "there is beauty everywhere."

It covers over 70% of our Earth's surface and it's the most essential element to life. Water is so important to us, yet it's so easy for us to take it for granted.

Here, then, for your inspiration, are the 20 most amazing photo manipulations of water.

Maggi Hambling bring forth the energy and power of waves through her beautiful oil paintings. The sea has become an obsession for Hambling who starts each day with a ritual. "Early each morning I go down to the sea and try to capture its mood by drawing, and each day is different. Back in the studio, these drawings become paintings. Whether they are tiny or cover the studio wall, I try to make the movement of the waves happen in the paint."

A compilation of motivational posters, that have to destroy your laziness forever... Good luck! Get Inspired!

Photographic portraits of Bruno Metra and Laurence Jeanson, retouched just using tape and pieces of faces cut out of magazines. This strange analog, cheap and IRL Photoshop allows reflection on the shallowness of the laws of appearance in our society, hiding fragile personalities behind…

A fresh-faced Kristen Stewart makes her red carpet debut at the premiere of Panic Room in 2002. Was she taking fashion tips from a young Angelina Jolie?

Seal flipper pie is a traditional Easter dish in the beautiful country of Newfoundland. The dish is said to have a gamy tasting dark meat similar to a hare ( our Easter mascot, how appropriate ). Newfoundlanders are known for their peculiar tastes in foods such as fried pork fat, cod tongues and fishcakes. But a seal flipper pie sounds a bit too extreme, not to mention cruel.

Visionary photographer & graphic designer Tejal Patni has created a conceptual calendar for the fashion brand Splash (who are based in Dubai). With no expense spared, he was able to conjure up these incredible images which reflect his passion for those classic science fiction b-movies. But rest assured there is nothing remotely “b-grade” about his work. Prepare to lock yourself in for some visual eye-candy, that is literally……out of this world. Hmm. I wonder what he was thinking when he created this series.

Who knew words could be such fun? Logos shouldn’t ever be boring, with a little bit of creativity anyone can transform everyday words into memorable designs and concepts. Just look at the work of the talented Ji Lee, who has taken a collections of popular words and brought them to life by adding a sense of character, fun and playfulness to them. Ji has released a wonderful book titled “Word As Image” which showcases nearly 100 examples of his own personal witty designs, plus he’s provides some great insights and tips on how you can create your own.

Let’s face it most calendars these days usually center around bikini-clad babes, ultra expensive cars or cute pictures of puppies and kittens – there’s not a lot of originality or variation going on there. Which is why I especially love the Disney Pin-Up Calendar masterfully created by J. Scott Campbell. Combining elements from all the famous Disney masterpieces, Campbell adds his own unique vision to them and then tops them off by adding in his iconic and gorgeously illustrated Disney Princesses. His work, as you’re about to see is jaw-droppingly good.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of travel, is meeting new people and sharing stories. That’s precisely what travel photographer Adde Adesokan has done with his new (and ever-expanding) series titled ‘The Triptychs’. Why the name? It’s all based around the premise of “Meeting total strangers, get to know them and then take three personality-matching body shots and make them one.” It makes for an engaging range of images, breathing new life into the classic portrait photo as it were. The subjects come from all corners of the world, Hong Kong, London, Sapa, Berlin, Ho Chi Minh City as well as Paris. Along with including the location of each of his images, Adesokan has added a short yet revealing insight into stranger staring back at you. Enjoy!

Move over Lady Gaga, Madame Peripetie (aka Sylwana Zybura) has arrived. The German-based conceptual photographer is responsible for the absolutely extraordinary images you’re about to see. Blurring the lines between sculpture, fashion and the human form, she creates these surreal images – brimming with color, a hint of sci-fi and loaded with a sense of eccentricity & the absurd. She cites her main influences as being the new wave era of the 1980′s, the UK post-punk scene and the avantgarde work of Robert Wilson. Breathtaking and other-wordly we’re sure you’ll agree.

Now aside from being one of the most controversial dictators in modern times, cutting his entire nation off from the world, fabricating countless (and often hilarious) amounts of propaganda and threatening the world with nuclear fallout – more than anything else, Kim Jong-il loved a good party. Here’s a few candid shots of him dropping the bass with Daft Punk, David Guetta, Skrillex, Busy P, Tiesto, Moby, JUSTICE & more.

Remember that scene in The Terminator movies where Sarah Connor erriely declares “And then…..then the machines became self-aware and the fate of mankind was thrust into darkness as they waged war on us all.” Now don’t freak out, we still have a long way to get to that scenario! BUT in 2011 whilst the arrival of Siri for the iPhone could be seen as the first step towards this process even more impressive is the arrival of a robot called Qbo. Today was the first time he saw what he looked like in the mirror, below is his response and reaction. Robots becoming “self-aware” is now a reality.
