Fantasy Creatures Taxidermy Style

The Editor — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:08:11 +0000

Though taxidermic samples aren’t for the squeamish, artist Sabrina Brewer takes it to the next level to create compelling sculptures that mix and match dead animal parts to give “life” to creatures from fantasy.

Think griffins, unicorns and undead three-headed squirrels. If that floats your cryptozoologist boat, then have a look at her website at which you can buy your very own pair of Siamese Squirrel twins.

Would you drink this Strawberry Vodka Shot?

The Editor — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:22:17 +0000

Whilst looking at shots of vodka isn’t exactly at the top of our activities list (although its above watching the washing machine spin), this Bloody Brain Shooter concoction had us compelled to stare.

Mixing acidic lime juice and irish cream creates the curdling brain-like strands and un-tasty as it looks, sounds like it goes down a dream.

Super Realistic Computer Generated Portraits

The Editor — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:34:41 +0000

Digital graphics technology and skills undoubtedly improve over time, but these computer generated portraits blew me away! They’re not just super realistic, but the likeness to some recognisable actors (a few below) is unbelievable. Next benchmark is to get computer generated people to move realistically, and then who knows where we’ll go.

Cyporn is an art installation by Pierrick Thébault, that consists of a set of 5 animated pixel porn scenes running on a Game Boy. It’s a comment on the “cult of cute” that is everywhere on Cyworld, a social networking site in South Korea, and by extension, on the Korean market.

Madagascar – A Piece of the World – Holiday Destinations as Pie Slices

The Editor — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:33:24 +0000

These pie pieces are some of the results for a campaign for “Madagascar – a piece of the world“. The Ukrainian Psyho studio literally created cuts of the world to depict different holidays. Each pie has a name – my favourite being the Cherry Pie with the Japanese garden theme.
