Every once in a while, a person will win a major award that will reflect not just the talent or act that he or she is nominated for, but possibly an entire body of work, as if to say, “You weren’t really great enough this year to deserve winning this, but you’ve been so awesome as a whole that you’re getting it anyway.” Some people believed that was the case when Denzel Washington won an Academy Award for Best Actor for Training Day or when Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won Best Picture.

These sunny-side-up creations are the work of Dutch artist Henk Hofstra. His Art-Eggcident is open to all in the town’s Wilhelmina Square. The eight fried eggs have a diameter of 7.5 meters. Some have a bulging yolk 2.3 meters high. Members of the public have come out of their shell to engage with the artworks. The eggs will fry in the sun for the next six months… While breakfast lovers get to admire his extraordinary talent.

"Haunted play House" created by the members of Torafu Architect for MOT, Museum of Contemporary art Tokyo gives a art gallery a more interactive approach. From the outside of the cube the works of art look fine as the Mona Lisa does every day, until you think her eyes move or Her HANDS? Through a secret passage to the inside children or small adults can interact with famous Fine Art pieces such as, the Mona Lisa or the Girl with the Pearl Earring. Truly fun and creative way to engage kids in learning about art.

Article from Life Sciences, used Spiders-Web building patterns to determine Toxicity in such Chemicals, Marijuana, Benzedrine, Caffeine, and Chloral Hydrate. Spiders who had been given marijuana started out well enough, but were unable to maintain focus. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the main effects of marijuana on mood vary and may include euphoria, calmness, anxiety, or paranoia. Getting high or "stoned" is the reason most pot smokers use marijuana. Benzedrine (speed) produced spiders who spun enthusiastically, though no great thought or care was put into the web design. Early users of the Benzedrine inhaler discovered it had a euphoric stimulant effect, resulting in its being one of the earliest synthetic stimulants to be widely used for recreational (i.e., nonmedical) purposes. Caffeine, one of the most common stimulants taken by humans, produced an erratic web. Caffeine is a stimulant to the central nervous system, and regular use of caffeine does cause mild physical dependence. But caffeine doesn't threaten your physical, social, or economic health the way addictive drugs do. Chloral hydrate, an ingredient in sleeping pills, made the spiders doze off after barely getting started on the web. Chloral hydrate is produced from chlorine and ethanol in acidic solution. In basic conditions the haloform reaction takes place and chloral hydrate is decomposed by hydrolysis to form chloroform. Not FDA approved.

The fact that one of the monsters had a striking resemblance to the monster from the Alien Movie directed by Ridley Scott.

To many, being a photographer is a glorified profession. How hard could it be? You get to travel the world, shoot babies or weddings, and you might even be your own boss! Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right? Over the past year, The Shoppe Design studio has started to dispel those myths, revealing the true life of a photographer. Dripping with sarcasm, the posters, under the series name Shoppe Satire, are mostly all lines photographers hear from their clients or ones they say to them (often with a sarcastic undertone). They're lines that make photographers sigh in disbelief like, "Your camera takes really nice pictures," or "Of course you are invited to our wedding. You're bringing your camera, right?" Whether you're just entering the profession or are a seasoned photographer, we'll guarantee you'll get a kick out of these posters!

Deviant Art user Nabhan has created a series of illustrations in which many of these objects double up as puns. For instance, one of the illustrations shows a man who has taken away the “control” button on the keyboard, alluding to the more figurative idea of “taking contol” of one’s life. While some drawings are silly, others are quite creative and will brighten up your day. View the rest of these illustrations below.

Dads are notorious for being caught ‘just resting their eyes,’ but I think this guy’s dad is the sleepiest dad of them all…

If these pictures don’t put a smile on your face, then you’re cold and heartless and clearly don’t like to be in a good mood. And if that’s the case, I have no idea why you’re visiting this website because literally everything on here is supposed to put you in a good mood.

Kids are way too sheltered these days. With 24 hours of children’s television available, they aren’t forced to watch Unsolved Mysteries and America’s Most Wanted like I was. Stir things up a bit. Get a Zombie Pet Plush. The huggable undead might bring them some sweet–yet still a little scary–cuddles by day, but turn the lights out and wait for the screams! Look at these things…they’re pretty gross looking. Choose from Bitey – a possibly rabid baby werewolf, Deadington Ruxworth – a stuffed bear, or Frostbite – an undead penguin.

Milan-based Italian illustrator and graphic designer Marcello Barenghi creates hyperrealistic drawings of ordinary objects that boggle the mind. It's hard to believe that the artist uses a standard set of art supplies to reproduce the likeness of everyday items, including anything from a bag of chips or bottle of whiskey to a crumpled up banknote. Each mixed media illustration in the artist's growing collection of works goes beyond just seeming realistic. They give the illusion of three-dimensionality, leaving one to question what they're actually looking at. Every wrinkle and glossy reflection is illusively reproduced, taking approximately 4 to 6 hours to complete. Barenghi also records his meticulous process, compressing the hours of work into 3-4 minute videos. Check out a time lapse view of the artist drawing a disheveled stack of playing cards, below.

At quick glance, one might believe that these landscapes are far-off shots of travelers enjoying outdoor expeditions. However, upon closer inspection, the truth reveals itself in the form of miniature figures perfectly placed within the majestic landscapes of the southwestern United States. The series, entitled Southwest, is a photo project by husband and wife team Kurt and Edwige Moses. Known for their wide variety of adventures in a miniature world, the artist duo focuses on blending the one-inch tall figures into real life situations. Although the moments are fairly ordinary—enjoying a bike ride, taking a photograph, or going for a hike—the toy people add a bit of playfulness to the naturally illuminated, everyday scenes. The artists explain that their collective project, Un Petit Monde, "combines the challenges of capturing an evocative, aesthetically pleasing image while documenting a scene in the real world environment using only available light and existing conditions. Ultimately, it is our mission to share some of the fun and joy for life with you through our project."

Redditor ccp_manifest posted these pictures of a friend’s daughter’s birthday party where the little girl DESTROYS her Cookie Monster cake. It’s pretty cute. You know, in a severely morbid way. It’s the kind of cute that makes a grown ass adult back away slowly and say “No — NO! Hey look, you can take whatever you want. Just please… please don’t eat my face.” See the gory sequence of events below. WARNING: Very graphic.

Richard Schaefer is a costume design student at Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. Here he is dressed up as different Disney princes and their respective princess in a series called Prince to Princess Transformation. If I may say so, he makes a handsome dude AND a pretty lady. If I may not say so, then who the hell makes the rules around here? Whatever, I’ll just keep it to myself. But I’ll be thinking it in my head! I’ll be thinking it in my head so hard. So hard in fact, that I probably won’t be able to help but blurt it out loud. What? You can’t fault me for speaking my mind! I want pizza. What’s that smell? Ooh, Fraiser marathon at 6! God, that man looks good as a man and as a lady. How does he do it? See? I can’t help it!

Anyone interested in typography will be in complete awe of these realistic portraits by artist Sean Williams. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, the designer, photographer, and art director certainly has a great eye for conceptual designs. To create the series, entitled Hip Hop Type, Williams took the lyrics from popular songs by each subject, including Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, and Kanye West. Relying on both positive and negative space, the artist then warped, curved, and resized the letters to fit perfectly together, forming instantly recognizable faces. The absolutely mind-blowing illustrations are an impressive combination of typography and illustration. Featuring just one simple color, the handful of well-organized words can be regarded in two ways. First, from up close, viewers can read the lyrics and visualize the artist at work on stage. Then, from a bit farther away, the color blends together to form the distinct facial details of each pop star.

He’s played some of Hollywood’s most unique (and often challenging) roles. From the neurotic, villainous & psychopathic (The Shining, The Witches Of Eastwick, Batman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) to the grumpy and downtrodden (The Bucket List, About Schimidt) and everything in between – Jack Nicholson is a true legend of the screen.

Paris, France-based designer Andry "Shango" Rajoelina has created an incredibly adorable set of illustrations called Super Families that show superheroes and their families on their way to school. The first part of his series, Justice Families, debuted back in May and in July he released part two, Marvel Families. Each of the illustrations shows superheroes we all know and love as either young children or as grown-up parents with children of their own. With their backs turned, we don't see their faces. Each character is easily identified, however, with their unmistakable outfits.

This woman's dorm room from 1898 isn't much different from modern day dorms: Pennants, books, and a chair for studying.

This cool project asks people on the streets to answer this one question! See the results below.

Prostitution is illegal in Indonesia but because it is one of the main tourist attractions, the local police doesn't care much about it. The girls, 30% of whom are underage, are working in terrible conditions. A photographer Ed Wray visited Jakarta's red light district.

Given the millions of different shades of color that we see in nature, it’s no wonder that, once in a while, nature might simply run out of paint. Perhaps this is why pure-white animals leave such a strong impression on us. Some of them look like ghostly spirit animals. Others, like albino whales or moose, are lonely one-in-a-million albinos with striking, unexpected appearances. Albinism (with its root in the Latin word albus, or white) is a form of hypopigmentary congenital disorder, characterized by a partial lack or total absence of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair, or more rarely in the eyes alone. Due to this, animals (and humans too) with albinism are unusually pale. The eyes of an animal with albinism occasionally appear red because of the underlying retinal blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. Some of the animals on this list are albinos, while others are simply members of rare white species. Whatever the case, mankind has been fascinated by such animals for ages. Some consider them to be sacred, and others – demonic. Whether you find them strange, beautiful, ghostly or freakish, we hope you enjoy this collection of animals that nature simply forgot to color in.

There was no Photoshop in the 19th century but people already knew how to manipulate their photos. Headless portraits was a trend.

This house was built during the Cold War. The half of it is built under the ground to protect its owners during the nuclear apocalypse. The house has an undeground lawn with a BBQ grill, pool, etc. The house is located in Las Vegas. It's on sale for 1.7 million USD.

China has 122 billionaires, a large number of millionaires, but 13% of the population live in extreme poverty (less than $1.25 a day). These photos illustrate the country's massive gap between rich and poor.

Jason Statham and James Franco have teamed up for a new thriller called Homefront, which is based on the best-selling novel by Chuck Logan. Sylvester Stallone wrote the script. We have our first look at the two actors today in a few photos that were released on USA Today. The story follows a DEA agent who moves to a small town after he's finished with his life fighting crime. As you might expect, once he moves to the small town he ends up fighting crime again. Director Gary Fleder talked about the film a little, explaining,

Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe 3 has a screenwriter. Paramount Pictures has hired Snow White and the Huntsman writer Evan Daugherty. He also wrote the films The Killing Season, Divergent, and the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. I'm pretty sure the next G.I. Joe film is going to end up with another mediocre script. I've given up hope on the G.I. Joe movie franchise. I personally think the only way to save it at this point is reboot it with an actually talented team of filmmakers. As long as they continue down this road with what the studio currently has in place we can expect more crappy G.I. Joe movies.

This is a licensing Expo poster for the Gareth Edwards directed reboot of Godzilla. A lot of other movie sites seem to believe that this is our first real look at the creature, but I'm not fully convinced. I think they just used that image to slap on a licensing poster, but I don't think it's the real thing. Back at San Diego Comic-Con an up-close image of a face of Godzilla leaked out which you can see here. This looks like a similar design. The thing is... we were told that Godzilla design was not the final design for the actual film. I think this is just another temporary placeholder design to help get people excited, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yesterday it was announced that Jurassic Park 4 would be called Jurassic World. Today there's some kind of pitch trailer for the film that has hit the internet. Some people are saying it's for the movie, others are saying it's for a cancelled video game. Producer Frank Marshall clarified things on his twitter account, saying that this isn't part of the film, but it's still a fun watch! The special effects aren't the best, and it looks like one of those laughable Asylum movies. Here's a note from the guy who posted the video,
