Eva Krbdk: We love the awesome tattoos of Turkish artist Eva Krbdk, who merges the universe of tattoo with soft and colourful creations inspired by the technique of cross-stitch. For more, check out Eva’s instagram and website. Very cool!
Roisin Hahessy: We love these original and funny illustrations explaining English expressions – ‘idioms’ – by Roisin Hahessy, an illustrator who also currently teaches English in Brazil. A very cute and quirky way to understand the hidden meaning of idioms. To enjoy more artwork from Roisin Hahessy, we highly recommend a visit to her website. Enjoy – Happy Friday, everyone! 🙂
Hoverboard: If you are anything like us, you have been patiently waiting for this legendary flying skateboard since you first saw ‘Back to the Future II’ many moons ago. Well, peeps, the wait might be over as it seems via the Lexus SLIDE project, Japanese designer Haruhiko Tanahashi has created the first real hoverboard. However…although what we see on the Lexus website is beautiful, and apparently usable, we can’t get too ahead of ourselves – this prototype currently uses superconductivity via magnets and liquid nitrogen in order to fly above a metal plate 🙁 So don’t expect to be flying around the streets hooked to the back of a futuristic car just yet…but we’re getting there! YES, YES, YES!!!
Sacha Goldberger: A continuation of his 2014 ‘Super Flemish’ series, ‘Family Portrait’ is a new photo series by talented French photographer Sacha Goldberger who mixes pop culture, superheroes, Flemish painting and the Elizabethan era to create these unique family portraits, featuring awesome vintage versions of Wolverine, Captain America, Han Solo, Hulk, Wonder Woman, the Joker, Batman and so on. The full collection of photos are available to view on Sacha Goldberger’s website and Facebook page. We LOVE it! 🙂
Strokemon: There are times in life when even WTF is not enough! Presenting ‘Strokemon’, a terrifying porn parody of ‘Pokemon‘ created by the Woodrocket studio who specialise in adult parodies of cult series and movies. This will definitely add some fuel to your nightmares for the next 10 years…and then some. Can’t. Even.
Stephen McMennamy: We love the fantastic ‘ComboPhoto’ series by American photographer Stephen McMennamy, who has a laugh on Instagram and Tumblr juxtaposing unrelated photos to create funny and very clever mashups. Great stuff! 🙂
Michael Murphy: We love these fascinating suspended sculptures by Brooklyn, NY artist Michael Murphy, who uses hundreds of suspended elements to create one final image visible from a single point of view. His latest creation, ‘Perceptual Shift’, is made up of 1200 black spheres, forming a perfectly shaped eye if you’re in exactly the right spot and is currently visible at the I.M.A.G.E. gallery. For more of Michael Murphy’s amazing creations, we suggest a visit to his website. Awesome stuff! 🙂
The New International Sound Pt. II: Produced by Bromance Records and directed by Inigo Westmeier, the official music video for ‘The New International Sound Pt. II’ by GENER8ION + M.I.A. features 36,000 students of Shaolin Tagou, the biggest fighting school for kids in China. WOW, this vid is epic and will have you totally mesmerised! Check it out.
Donna Stevens: We love the work of New York based, Australian photographer and artist Donna Stevens, who through her ‘Idiot Box’ series, photographs children while they’re watching television, capturing the mesmerised faces, passive and slightly zombified, and exploring the relationship we all share with technology and the media. Fantastic stuff! 🙂
Nicolas Monterrat: We love these amazing historical animated GIFs by French photographer Nicolas Monterrat, who “enhances” old historical photographs and turns them into strange, twisted, and outstanding pieces of contemporary art. Awesome work! 🙂
