Vampire fanatic Ben Douglass has created this simple and fun graphic showcasing the 12 different types of vampires. Who knew that in between all the bats, fangs and capes that things could get so complex? With Halloween coming up, it’s good to be informed & in the know right? At least this way you’ll be able to narrow it down to which bloodsucker might be visiting you late in the night

It’s a depressing reality that these days, most of the music videos released feature that all too familair R&B / pop hybrid complete with those horrible auto-tuned vocals & usual bevy of buxom bikini clad types awkwardly strutting around in too much fake tan. So count your lucky stars that a director & animation wizard like Jérémie Périn still exists and even more so that he’s chosen to work with upcoming Parisian electronic artist DyE on his new single ‘Fantasy’. To be perfectly honest, we’d never heard of DyE’s (aka Juan de Guillebon) until we saw this clip – but on this evidence it’s not a name which will be unknown for long.

Denny Hamlin will remain hospitalized overnight after being airlifted to a local hospital after a hard single-car crash at the inside wall on the final lap of Sunday's Auto Club 400. Hamlin was awake and alert in the infield care center before being transported, but was taken to the hospital after complaining of lower back pain. A helicopter was used due to post-race traffic. According to his girlfriends' tweets Hamlin is going to be ok.

Located in Zweibrücken, Germany, The Rose Garden of Princess Hildegard of Bavaria grows more than 60,000 roses of 2,000 varieties and, as a result, Zweibrücken is appropriately known as the City of Roses. In celebration of this alluring flower, German artist Ottmar Hörl developed a massive public art installation, entitled 1,000 Roses for Zweibrücken (2012).

Upcoming Mexican artist José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros puts a deliciously devious twist on those famous Disney characters that graced everyone’s childhood. Appropriating beloved Disney heroes and heroines in his latest exhibition titled “Disenchanted”, Ontiveros places them in the darker human realities of voyeurism, vanity, perversion and addiction. The strength of time-honored iconoclasm and the weakness of haphazard ideology awkwardly sitting side by side – just don’t let your kids see them.

Okay, you can thank me now. Go ahead. Before you become a millionaire on the next game show. Whenever you’re next on a game show & down to that final question (you know the one that is worth a staggering $1,0000,0000) now you’ll comfortably know the answer instantly.

63-year-old prostitute from England still serves six people per day on average and earns approximately $7600 for three weeks of work.

It takes a relative amount of skill to look like a decomposing walking body--it certainly takes up a lot of makeup! If you are the unfortunate tourist, who comes to the US on zombie walk day, or Vampire crawl, good luck getting through that mess alive! I've recently been inspired by the popular book "The Zombie Survival Guide" and though all of you viewers would enjoy these masterful walking corpses. Have fun!

A selection of the stupidest posts on Facebook. Are these people that stupid, or what? We sure live in a strange world filled with some dumb people. 

With the rise of technology, 140 character tweets and SMS shorthand texts (“BWl! Aamof afaik gonna mari him cuz im in luv wit him!” = “*Bursting with laughter* As a matter of fact, as far as I know I’m going to marry him – because I’m in love with him.”) the English language is under attack. But fear not, we’re going to arm you with 13 of the most deadly and pretentious punctuation marks in the history of the written word, soon enough you’ll be able to come across as a well-educated and well-rounded private school Boffin. Plus you’ll sound cool doing it, how could using a symbol called the ‘Interrobang‽’ not be awesome right?

Unable to cross through Gaza’s border gate, bride Manal Abu Shanar had to meet her Palestinian fiance Emad al-Malalha in an underground tunnel. The man smuggled his bride from Egypt into Palestine through a Gaza Strip smuggling tunnel under the Egypt-Gaza border. The Egyptian authorities wouldn't let the woman enter Palestine through the border gate.

A compilation of cool hilarious memes with animals and people, that will definitely make your day.

Before and after photos of the participants of the FOX TV show called "The swan." The ‘ugly’ women were given loads of plastic surgery and then competed against each other in a beauty contest. What do you think of this concept?

Here is a new part of rare photos of famous people. Actors and actresses, musicians, movie directors, etc.

“The Street Aesthetic of New York City”, a beautiful short video shot by Christian Andersen while he was visiting NYC. Here’s Christian’s description of the video: "I had a chance to go visit one of the greatest cities this summer. Right when I got of the plane and arrived downtown New York, I took my camera and strolled out through the busy streets of New York City. I wanted to capture the great culture and street aesthetic of New York and I think it turned out really well. The video includes recordings from both Manhattan and Brooklyn, where I spend hours capturing the culture and everyday life of native New Yorkers".

San Diego resident and Los Angeles local Darren Pearson uses a combination of intense flashlights, long exposures and large amounts of creative genius to conjure up these beautiful dinosaur light sculptures. The results are simply stunning. With out, further ado, enjoy the photography!

This neat little video, takes you through 100 years of East London style in 100 seconds – starting from Sept 13th 1911 through to Sept 13th 2011. An awful lot has changed in that time and you’ll definetly see a few cringe-worthy fashion trends that we ALL have to shamefully admit to owning at some point!

When it comes to your online persona – you’re the ultimate curator. That’s the focus of witty French photographer Mathieu Grac’s new series titled Boyz and Girlz du net. It centres around society’s general obsession with their social media profile pictures. His work aims to take you behind the scenes, revealing how 95% of your friends composed and curated their own online alter-egos and personas. Guilty as charged as it were. The question is, are they a true representation of contemporary society, or are we all allowed a little bit of creative licence these days?

Imagine if you could write a letter to a celebrity who has died. Who would you write to? What would you say? What would you ask? What would you want them to know? Well, here’s a few suggestions!

The Vegetarian Festival in Phuket, Thailand isn’t entirely what you’d expect from a festival with such a family friendly name…. Now don’t get us wrong, there probably are numerous vegetarian stands serving up countless hotpots of delicious veggies and healthy crunchy snacks. You’d need them, because attending the festival on an empty stomach is not recommended. The festival (which dates back to the 1800s) commences on the first night of the 9th lunar month and lasts for 9 days in total in the Kathu district. It’s roots stem from the supernatural beliefs of the Chinese tin mine workers who settled in Phuket during that era. During the Chinese 9th lunar month, Phuket itself was hit with an epidemic that claimed countless lives and destroyed numerous families. The legend is that the Chinese tin mine workers had forgotten to pay homage to the Nine Emperor Gods (Kiu Ong Iah) in the first nine days of the month – leading to the epidemic and heavy loss of life. And thus, next year the Chinese followed the tradition of refraining from eating meat, drinking alcohol, engaging in sex, arguing or even telling lies. Spookily enough, the epidemic ceased, and each year since, the people of Phuket have continued to celebrate the festival. The majority of participants at the festival perform extreme acts of body modification and body piercing – their face, arms and any other area by way of appeasing Kiu Ong Iah, many of them claim to being possessed during the act. Mysteriously enough participants apparently feel no pain, and show little no sign of real injury. Word of warning: Reader discretion is advised, the images you’re about see contain graphic content.

It’s often been said that Sci-Fi films are brief glimpses into our technological future (although quite why we don’t have lightsabers yet is anyones guess – it’s like scientists aren’t even trying). A really simplistic example of that (H.G. Well’s War Of The Worlds aside) is Star Trek. Remember when you saw the sliding doors open automatically when Captain Kirk boldly stepped onto the flight deck? Well, these days you experience those same automatic doors every time you go to the local supermarket. And how long will it be before we get floating holographic screens to work from, like those featured in Minority Report? Bye bye iPad. Now of course a lot of sci-fi films are deliberately ridiculously far fetched but some (as we’ve just noted) are a lttle closer to reality than we first imaged. The talented Michael Hobsonfrom Tremulant Design has put together a timeline based on the future of the human race – according to all the major sci-fi movies. Apparently the zombie Armageddon is taking place next year, so now is probably a good time to stock up on some spare ammo…

Here’s an idea – take some of the biggest and most iconic names & faces in Hollywood and re-create them as Renaissance portraits and paintings! A touch of the old, mixed with the modern. It’s all down to those talented creative wizards over at worth1000.  Do let us know who your favs are! You should be able to tell straight away who they are

Lets face it, you can never have enough Star Wars can you? But for all the millions of memes, mashups and fanpages littering the internet – hardcore Star Wars fan Nick Agin is adding a new twist into the mix. We all know that Star Wars is set light years into the future…but what if it wasn’t? What if Star Wars was based in the Renaissance era? With gunslinging cowboys and gentlemen clasping fine cigars and single malt whiskies? Rather than Darth Vader, what if he was simply known as “Uncle Vader” to the locals? Well, you don’t have to imagine for long – because that’s precisely what Nick has done with his superb & humorous collection of reto Star Wars illustrations. The usual suspects are present and correct – the question is, which side of the force are you on? High five Nick !

Moving home just got a whole lot spookier thanks to the visionary work of Spanish photographer Rafa Zubiria His new photo series, titled No Way Home is based around homes, flats & apartment blocks mysteriously levitating in mid air as life continues on around them. He describes his work as “disturbing and dreamlike surrealism” and we couldn’t agree more, there is a strangely unsettling element about these images, especially the first one with a passerby totally unaware of what is unfolding on the horizon. How would you react if you looked up into the sky and saw a block of flats just floating upwards in silence? More than a little spooked right? We can’t wait to see what Rafa does next, he’s already got the talent, concept and vision – so as far as we’re concerned, the sky is literally the limit for him (and his houses!)

It’s never nice when you’re precious Mr Bigglesworth dies. Some families visit the taxidermist to get their furry friend stuffed into oblivion so they can place them neatly on the mantlepiece for eternity. But if you thought that was more than a little morbid, wait until you see what Amsterdam-based sculptor Cedric Laquieze can do to your dead pet…. Forget simply having your pet stuffed into an awkward pose, how about getting its skeleton covered in fake flowers so you can use it as the main feature as your next dinner party? No? Yeah we thought that would be your answer.

Make no mistake, there are some really talented artists and illustrators out there creating really beautiful works of art. Serge Birault, aka PapaNinja isn’t one of them. He’s on a whole new level all by himself. He’s the mastermind behind this collection of jaw-dropping 2D Pin-Up’s. Rarely have such beauty, creativity and skill all come together in such perfect harmony. Regardless of the subject matter (which hey I’m a fan of obviously!) they are simply stunning works of art. I’m sure Dita Von Teese would certainly approve! I’d totally have them all over the walls in my house – wouldn’t you? Phenomenal.

We spend many many hours flying all over the web trying to find and showcase cool things for you – sometimes we come back empty-handed, sometimes we come back after discovering someone like Dan Matutina. Hailing from the Philippines he’s a designer and illustrator – but what makes him so special (and indeed stand out from thousands of others out there) is his passion for mixing handmade, digital, clean & dirty, old and modern aesthetics into one incredible visual mix. We’ve selected a few of our favorite artworks (it was a tough choice!) that really showcase his versatility, gift & talents – if you want to see more of his visual eye-candy, head over to his wonderful site If only more designers & illustrators were equally as bold,ambitious & creative – the world would indeed be a much better place.

Very little is known about Abel Flaubert. Well, except the fact that he’s a musical genius. How can we be sure of this? Simply check out the brillant track he created, purely comprised of original Gameboy sounds. We reckon a serious round of applause is in order – inspiring stuff!

If there’s one thing that the internet has highlighted about society in general, it’s that many of us have lots of free time. Which coincidentally goes a long way into explaining the current phenomenon of a site called scanwiches.com and yes, we dare say the name is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a community of individuals who feel compelled to cut their lunchtime sandwiches in half, scan them using the office scanner and then uploading them for the world to see. Why? Who knows. One thing we do know, is that after looking at these photos you’ll feel compelled to go fix yourself up your own sandwich quick smart. The question is, are you going to post it online too?

I recently stumbled on this video by L.A based project Magic Machines. To say the least, this is my new favorite video of the week. The entire clip is comprised of your favorite animated gifs from the across interwebs - set in perfect time to the groups latest track “Hey Mister” a pounding dance anthem designed to make you work up a sweat. Once you start watching it, you won’t be able to stop. Seriously awesome.

What kind of games? Koreans have this yearly event, where hundreds of people get together and synchronously dance. The history of the games dates back to 1946 and are the result of thousands of hours of preparations & many many months of intense training. To put its scale into perspective, a staggering 10,000 performers took part this year. Interestingly enough, the incarnation of the Mass Games represents North Korea’s outlook and focus on “the group” rather than “the individual” – highlighted by the complex levels of synchronicity between each performer and the overall effect they create. As for the performers themselves, many are selected in early childhood (some even from age 6 and up) and for many, it provides them with income and a job for life – until retirement. When it comes to North Korea (and as these truly spectacular photos by Sam Gellman highlight) – no part is greater than the whole.
