Pixar Tibute
Here’s another 25th anniversary piece. This Pixar clip montage spans the company’s 25 years of movie excellence since it was acquired by the late and great Steve Jobs in 1986. You’ll find everything from Toy Story to Cars 2 and all the shorts in between. If you manage to watch the whole thing without crying [...]
Spacesick Movie Art – The I Can Read Movie Series
We’re sort of confused by this guy. His name is Mitch, he lives in Toledo, Ohio, and he had a blog that he posted fun stuff to, but hasn’t posted to it since March. Hey Mitch, you OK? Actually, come to think of it? This I Can Read Movies series by Spacesick (ie Mitch) is [...]
One Man’s Trash – Part One
It’s true what they say – one man’s (or woman’s) trash, is another one’s treasure. Many artists take an environmental stance and create art out of things that would otherwise be thrown away. Some of the pieces of art are very large – sculptures and parts of buildings, and others are very small. Take a [...]
The Cute Side of the Force
A short time ago on a website not so far away… It is a period of creative chaos. Rebel crocheters, striking forth from Etsy, have won the hearts of Star Wars fans in a reconciliation between a complete lack of functionality and mind-jarring cuteness. During the battle for yarn-related domination, lucyravenscar managed to create a [...]
Rolling Through the Bay
Scott Weaver spent the last 35 years making this kinetic sculpture of San Francisco made entirely of toothpicks. The structure actually moves the ping pong balls you see at the bottom around in a “tour” of the city visiting famous locations along the way. More close-ups and video can be found at thisiscolossal.com.
Fly Art
Like many things, I find this creepy and cool at the same time. The image is funny but you have to remember that it’s really just four dead flies lying on a piece of paper. Quite morbid, really. Magnus Muhr has a bunch more of these, but they’re also in another language so we can’t [...]
Rubik’s Huge
This shows what can happen when you have a little creativity, some free time, and a lot of dedication. A locally famous landmark in Manhattan got an 80′s makeover as a gigantic Rubik’s cube overnight. The entire process was documented through photographs and even stayed up most of the day after it was “built.” Follow [...]
Caricature Map of 1914 Europe
The first map was painted by Keith Thompson for a book called Leviathan written by Scott Westerfield. The second is the actual map of the time for your comparison. Between the two, I would have found History class a lot more interesting if we had used the former. Read the motivations for the animals used on [...]
Timescapes
More Outdoor Videos >> Todd Bo decided to stick cameras in various locales to videotape hours of nothing. At least, that’s what you would think sitting there with the camera, but once you apply a little time lapse here and there, editing can become a powerful tool. Stars streak by while the sun jumps up [...]
Box Head
Inspired by the common cheat code for video games in which the characters all have oversized heads, computer whiz Eric Testroete created a large copy of his own head for a Halloween costume. If I was any good at using any software, I’d give it a go. To see how he did it step-by-step, check [...]
Wee Models
Is the creepiest part of this the content of the note, the stoic orange clay face without a nose or the fact that the word “wee” was used…twice? This looks like a great premise for a crappy horror movie. “Coming summer 2012, get ready to have the scare of your life in…Clay Face!” Courtesy of [...]
Penny Towers
Putting houses made of cards to shame since 1997, penny towers and bridges are not only more durable, but shinier! Mitch Fincher has dozens of pages on his website dedicated to tutorials and pictures sent in from others devoted to the hobby. Believe it or not, it can get pricey. One used almost 250,000 pennies. [...]
Typewriter of the Future
Although originally used as a helmet for lobotomies, this strange looking machine was turned into a typewriter by putting keys on top of the needles once the operation became widely unpopular. The inventor, Rasmus Malling-Hansen, found that typing downward simply wasn’t interesting enough and watching people try to use this was too hilarious to pass [...]
Father and Son: First and Last
A father and son sharing the spectacle of man leaving earth in a Space Shuttle. The first picture is the first launch and the second is the last launch. Kudos to the son for keeping the same shirt for 30 years. Bonus points if the father is using the same binoculars from the first picture. [...]
Don’t Cross the Barrier…OR ELSE
Sure he looks intimidating standing there but let’s see him try to catch me with those goofy legs without kneecaps. It does beg the question: did the construction crew put this here or some individual party? I imagine building this was no 20 minute project and sure would like to know if I can commission a [...]
Future 1950
You have to admit that moving all the roads underground would make walking around town easier, but also make driving more depressing.
Maneggs Mario Nightmare
What is wrong with me that I find this so amusing? This artist, maneggs, does some really disturbing but funny stuff. I’d like to say I understand it all, but the horse one (one or two before the one you see above) flummoxes me. This above, this is just a masterpiece. Though I don’t know [...]
Browser Wars
While I think Firefox is getting a bad deal in this picture, I love, love, love the fact that IE is over in the corner eating glue. And he has to wear a helmet. Because he gets into accidents all the time. Bumps into stuff…you know. And Opera and Safari aren’t even there. They don’t [...]
WTF Sculpture
Is it me, or is today all about the fart jokes? What will that make tomorrow? Can I get away with…never mind. Let’s assume, for assuming’s sake, that the clouds coming from the bull-like bull’s posterior is the customary cloud of dust stirred up by someone or something running at you very fast, and that [...]
Lego Animation – Shootout
Lego Animation – Shootout When you’ve got the talent for something like this, you are impervious to the “you have too much time on your hands” scorn. You HAVE to make the time to make MORE of these. Created by Keshen8, his or her YouTube Channel has a tagline of “Lego, sandwiches, Kung Fu and [...]
