Art On Styrofoam Cups.

noreply@blogger.com (Venus) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:13:00 +0000

We have seen in past lots of artists expressing their creativity using variety of mediums. And to add to this series, we have an amazing artwork created by artist Cheeming Boey who uses styrofoam cups to express his creativity. Each of his artwork takes hours to several months to complete. This artwork on Styrofoam cups is created using a sharpie pen and sells for a few hundred dollars each. What started as a hobby way back in 2006 has made him a styrofoam cup artist. What makes these interesting is the surface; the artist has to draw on a curved surface.
Don't miss to check out the rest of Boey's collection of cup artwork on his Flickr page.

Dog Friendly Home Designs.

noreply@blogger.com (Venus) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:49:00 +0000

Earlier we have seen 'Cat-Friendly House Designs: Part: 1 and Part: 2' which were designed with special features for cats. Now we have something for dog owners too. 'Dog Friendly Homes' and yes these too come from Japan, where it's said more than 60% of dog-owners keep their dogs indoors and the trend is on the rise substantially in recent years. There is a rise in popularity of small dogs better suited for indoors and people's attitude towards them has created this change. If you are among those who treat your dogs as family members rather than watchdogs, then who knows you may even pick one or two thing from here and use it next time you remodel your home!

(Image credit: asahi-kasei).
These house designs come from Asahi Kasei, a leading house builder in Japan, who has been credited with the creation of 'Cat-Friendly House Designs'. These houses are designed as per the requirements of the clients and their dogs, which require great deal of research to design them. Here are a few key features of these houses: a peephole in the garden wall along with a bench for the dog to see outside the high wall, fence being installed on the door between the foyer and living room preventing the dog jumping out to the entrance, a special doorway to the kitchen door for a dog walk. Even the dogs need a private room, so you have an open floor plan; it can be placed under the stairs next to the living room. Then we got unit baths for pets that can withstand up to 100 kg of weight (quite sufficient even for the largest breed), with a special shower for their bath. Special care is taken of the carpet used on the stairs, none wants a loose or unfriendly slippery stairs carpet. You got pet door installation so the dog moves in and out of the bedrooms. For those who want to make their dogs comfortable in dense urban housing, then creation of a "courtyard" is advised (seen in the below photo). Special importance is given to the flooring, it depends on the requirement of the client, whether they want a scratch resistant flooring, paint finish or any other pet friendly one. Apart from all these, special care is taken to provide adequate ventilation and use of pet friendly construction materials as well.

And here we got some home improvement tips from 'Better Homes and Gardens' to make your pet feel more comfortable.

noreply@blogger.com (Venus) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:56:00 +0000

Each of the photographs by Kerry Skarbakka is sure to impress the viewers and get a positive response.

He has been creating the portfolio of his pictures since 2002, which has been exhibited across the world. "The images are layered with references to an experienced background in sculpture and painting, and the cinematic quality of the work suggests the influence of commercial film. The dimensions are important to establish a direct relationship between the image and viewer." Don't miss to check his site - link.

Cute Sleeping Animals.

noreply@blogger.com (Venus) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:23:00 +0000

Its said that seven to eight hours per day is the average amount of sleep a person needs. Though this may vary from person to person as some people are naturally short or long sleepers. There are some great people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Edison, Sir Newton and others who slept quite less than rest of us. They slept only 2-3 hours a day. But for us beauty sleep is something that we won't miss for the world. In past we have seen 'Art Of Sleeping', and now we have some amazing photos of sleeping animals at their best! Simply cute.

Performance Art Of Li Wei.

noreply@blogger.com (Venus) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:22:00 +0000

Artist Li Wei's work is a mixture of performance art and photography that creates illusions of an unusual interesting reality. His favorite works are the 'Mirror' and the 'Falls' series; the 'Falls' series shows the artist with his head and the upper body embedded into the ground. According to the artist these images are not computer montages, these works are created with the help of props such as mirror, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics. Using a large mirror with a hole in the center large enough to accommodate his head and neck, he places his head through the hole and "projects" his image onto various historical and urban places.

We have seen the amazing work of Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas, which impressed all; now we have the ballpoint portraits by Florida artist Jesse Starr which we are sure is going to impress all equally. He creates photo realistic art using ballpoint pens. His latest work is the portrait of Christopher Walken. It was created using '7' Bic 1.2mm pens (they don't run out of ink but they do break after a while and start to lay uneven amounts of ink, when that happens he has to start with a new pen). It is by far the most technical and detailed one yet, and it took about 25-30 hours to complete. He created his first ballpoint portrait back in 06. Amanda Stevens is (black and white girl) involved in the comic book that Jesse illustrates and is also a character. Leighann (girl holding the guitar) is friend of Jesse who took the photo by herself, and Jesse created the ballpoint portrait. If you are interested to purchase the portrait of Christopher Walken, it's for sale.

Toothpaste Caps.

noreply@blogger.com (Venus) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:35:00 +0000

Getting the kids to brush their teeth everyday can be a bit of a chore, but there is a simple and easy solution to it by Spread Heads - Toothpaste Heads/Caps. These encourage kids to brush their teeth. As the name implies, these caps can be kept on the usual sized toothpaste tubes, replacing the standard cap that it came with. There are two to choose from - Pete the dog, and Oscar the cat. These work with most of the toothpastes. Once you fix it on your toothpaste, the toothpaste flows easily through their mouths. Once you are done, there is a paw that closes their mouth so that the cap gets closed. With these, getting the kids to brush their teeth becomes a lot easier and is more fun.
