I would say this is a modern version of the still life fruit paintings. Artist, Dennis Wojtkiewicz has made it quite interesting to look at. Light and translucence make these paintings glow. Nature’s perfect patterning allows each painting to take on a meditative quality.
The detail in this is amazing. I’ve never been so amused by fruit 🙂

I LOOOOVE this concept!
This idea is by artist Kyle Bean who graduated from Brighton Uni in 2009. All of the work is pretty amazing but I wanted to feature this one. Please check out Kyle’s site.
Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

Theses sculptures are made up of thousands of tiny colored matches. The artist, David Mach, creates the sculptures to resemble famous faces and legendary artworks. When he opens up his exhibition he lights the work on fire. Talk about an attention getter!
Visit David’s site!
The devil on fire: David Mach set his sculpture alight, a method which he discovered by accident in 1982
David Mach’s take on Charlie Chaplin uses white, black and red matches mixed with wood
Blue-Oop-a-Doop: 1930’s cartoon character Betty Boop looks uncharacteristically blue after getting the ‘match treatment’
Warhol-ian: The face of Marylin Monroe in different colour combinations in a display which looks inspired by the legendary portrait series by Andy Warhol
David on David: This sculpture made from yellow matches is a take on Michelangelo’s famous David statue

This is such an easy DIY project! This one is very similar to my Easy DIY Bookmarks. They can be so cute 🙂

I wish I had this app when I graduated! I freelanced for a while and I did well but this would’ve made my life so much easier! So, graphic designers, take note! Download the app.

I have no idea where this video originated so if you know please inform me. I’d love to give the kid (and/or his parents) some credit. I found it here and that link says to go here but I have a feeling there’s another one…
Also, there has been some skepticism going around about this video. A lot of people think it is fake. If you google 3 year old genius finger painter you will find comments such as:
“I think it’s definitely possible but speeding up of footage makes it very easy to hide cuts. Read the whole post
I don’t know if you guys have ever been to the website http://pintester.com/ but I recently discovered it and might be spending too much time there. This girl’s blog is all about her attempt to make things she finds on Pinterest. In her posts and shows you how she did it and whether or not it works. She is honestly hilarious, a bit vulgar at times though. So, if you are not into the swearing then maybe skip this one but I think she is pretty amusing. Read the whole post
I fully agree with this. People get so scared about coming out of their comfort zone. Try something new… That is when you discover the best things 🙂
One of the best gifts I’ve ever received was a homemade heating pad. A friend gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago and I use it SO much. It is perfect for sore muscles or to sleep with when it’s too cold in your house. All you have to do is microwave it for 1-2 mins and you will be nice and warm for at least half an hour.
The one I received lasted about 3 years before I had to replace it. Read the whole post
