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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
“Lab” is a life-size model of a human skeleton and organs that was painstakingly crocheted by artist Shanell Papp. The Canadian artist spent 8 months crafting the sculpture by hand back in 2006. In the pursuit of realism, she used an actual human skeleton and anatomy textbooks as references. The sculpture even includes unseen details like bone marrow and half-digested food in the stomach. Um... kinda gross.
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!
This will make you feel warm and fuzzy. Brazilian footwear maker Melissa teamed up with 3M to create an wonderful exhibition at the opening of their São Paulo flagship store – Galeria Melissa. They took an amazing 350,000 colored Post-its, 30,000 of which had spontaneous messages of love written on them from the local community. The end result is heart-warming time-lapse video which itself took 5 months to finish.
French photographer and Harley-Davidson rider Sacha Goldberger decided to shoot a series of photographs dedicated to his fellow riders and passion. His aim, to show that being a Harley-Davidson owner isn’t merely a hobby – but a genuine lifestyle choice. You might be wondering why some of the photos feature the drivers shot from behind – that’s because their nicknames stitched onto the backs of their jackets. When it comes to Harley-Davidson’s, there’s a real community and tangible bond between owners, highlighted in Sacha’s brilliant portraits below
It will probably never happen, but it imagine….alcohol served in milk cartons. Well imagine no more, artist Jorn has done just that. Taking some of the world’s leading alcohol brands like Jack Daniel’s & Absolut Vodka, he’s reworked, redesigned and repackaged them as milk cartons. I find it strangely amusing, expecting to see “Dariy Farmers Low Fat Milk” and instead being presented with Jägermeister (and lets face it, it would certainly spark and interesting conversation around the breakfast room table.) Hats off to Jorn for successfully highlighting the importance of packaging and indeed design when it comes to branding and doing so in a fun and irreverent way. Would you drink your favorite alcoholic brands from a carton instead of a bottle or can? Let me guess, so long as it gets you drunk, it doesn’t matter right? Hahaha.
Based in New York, Lauren Peralta is a photographer and model without inhibitions. These beautiful images are testament to that fact – all of them are self portraits. She quite literally lets the photographs do the talking, simply stating “Photos of me, by me.” Two thumbs up from us! Great stuff.
Don’t let the photo fool you – this video is totally going to blow you away. Remember when you first saw Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” - the scene where he leaned forward at that impossible angle and you took your breath away? Well you’re on the right track, when it comes to the new video from Japanese group World Order (who are comprised of 7 dudes) and titled “We Are All” Basically, it’s the coolest thing you’ve about to watch on the internet all week. To dance the way they do, to have such flawless timing would take literally hours and hours and hours of rehearsals – but sheesh it’s worth it. The entire music video looks laden with special FX and time-lapse trickery – but the whole thing is done in real time, in the middle of every day life in Japan. It is quite simply…phenonmenal.
“That’s the wonderful thing about digital art – there are no limits” Those are the fine words of Sheridan Johns, an artist who hails from Melbourne, Australia. She’s the talented illustrator behind these jaw-dropping photo realistic portraits of some of our most loved characters in pop culture. “I started doing digital paintings since 2003 – just messing around with Photoshop 7. Art has always been a big part of my life. For many years it served as my outlet of creativity. From a simple sketch to a rendered portrait, I’ve always been able to discover a new technique when creating a piece of art. Back in 2005, I decided to take this style more seriously, looking into more details, depth and color with each piece. I pretty much taught myself!252?id=262220by studying other digital painters and their techniques and tutorials. It takes a lot of practice and research, but it’s well worth it in the end.” Amen to that.
Oh Kurt how we miss you. Thankfully, 2 CELLOS – the Croatian cello duo of Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser (they hit the YouTube jackpot with their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” and later the Guns N Roses classic “Welcome To The Jungle.”) are keeping the Nirvana spirit alive with their fantastic cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Extra points and an extended round of applause for the headbanging as well. Great stuff fellas!
For those of you that don’t know, GoPro is range of cameras that are designed to withstand the toughest and harshest environments. Extreme skiers strap them to their bodies to shoot unbelievable footage as they leap off mountains whilst soldiers have used them on their helmets in Libya to broadcast the revolution unfolding before their eyes. Next in line is photographer Josh Maready, who bolted a GoPro onto his skateboard and took us for a ride through the streets of New York City. Strap yourself in, it’s one hell of a ride.
We freely admit, when we first saw these incredible half human half monkey photos we had to look twice! Strange, funny and more than a little freaky, they’re the work of Ukrainian graphic designer and illustrator Julia Malanina. Collectively we voted that our favorite was the emo chimp, just because it is so random – but let’s face it, they’re all great…..and slightly disturbing!
Uber talented illustrator Michael Marsicano describes himself as an ‘enthusiastic purveyor of embellished realities seeks like-minded, inspired patrons’. He should haven’t too much difficulty in that department, because how could you not be inspired by such fantastic work. The following illustrations serve to highlight the genuine vibrancy and energy of his art – make no mistake, hes destined to become a household name sooner, rather than later. Excellent stuff.
With the rise of Dexter, CSI and numerous crime / forensic shows – it seems we all think we’re forensic experts! But alas, when it comes to investigating the DNA evidence of a crime, specifically ‘blood splatter’ there’s more than meets the eye. The team at Forensic Nursing have just created a fascinating and revealing infographic, designed to educate and illuminate.
You might have seen those rather funny retro furniture catalogs from the 1950’s at various garage sales and charity shops. A funny reminder of times gone by, when all people worried about was whether the sofa set would match the lampshade. But visual artist Nadine Boughton is adding her own twist to these aspiration images of yesteryear, by adding in illustrations from numerous adventure stories also from the same era. As the overall aesthetic and even fading of the both the books and illustrations is similar, the end result is a collage that looks startlingly real. We reckon she must have a great deal of fun creating these works, starting off with a sense of tranquility and calm, before adding in some god-forsaken monster or wild animal into the scene! Below are several examples of her work, but mak?id=26271e sure you check out the full series via her official site. http://nadineboughton.com/index.html
Could you transform as raspberry into a wasp? Or the common potato to a octopus? Here’s project that is as colorful as it is fun. Vanessa Dualib is a photographer based in Brazil who looks at food in a vastly different way to you and I (much like Terry Border). Her new series titled Brincando Com a Comida (translation ‘Playing With Food’) sees her bring all manner of fruits and vegetables to life. She’s combined two of her biggest passions, photography and food, to create images that funny & inventive in equal amounts.

Normally you’d have to throw a buck or two towards a street performer to get them to even move. So if you think about it this guy lucked out — as did we! Recently posted to YouTube by an on looker in Australia, this video shows a street mime hard at work when a random jerk decides to come up and taunt him. Not only does he proceed to poke the robotic cowboy and toy with his hat whilst circling him, he then delivers the hellish and always-dreaded wet willy. Luckily, when the two come face to face, he’s on the unfortunate (but well-deserving) receiving end of a not-so-robotic knuckle sandwich. As far as the crowd, they didn’t see to mind. What do you think?
