Kaitrees on DeviantART has the most elaborate wire tree sculptures I’ve laid eyes on.
Some have lights…
I bet they all cast amazing shadows when arranged with proper lighting.

Let’s start with an amazing real life Batmobile pig shaped food truck! I’ve never seen anything like this. Completely awesome.
And speaking of bats, this was actually a political cartoon of yesteryear:
When was the last time you saw a bat in striped boxer shorts?
Does anyone know the artist for this painting? I love the color scheme and lighting.
“Gee, it’d be mighty swell if you’d be my date for the apocalypse!”
I feel like I’m looking into my future:
Don’t be fooled by brilliant marketing, ladies…I’ve worn apple scented perfume for 15 years and have yet to be bitten.
Next time you’re on a boat, remember that this is exactly what’s going on underneath you.
A photo that takes my breath away:
This is an actual Victorian dress, as far as I know. I’d love to meet the woman who wore this color during that era.
And while we’re on the topic of vintage attire, this is what women used to wear before we only had the option of prepackaged “slutty hornet.”
(2012 versions often cover less than a swimsuit and have titles like “Queen Bee-otch”…I’m not kidding)
The “magpie” costume actually looks very much like my prom dress in 1997.
This costume beats them all though (insert choice pun about “hamming it up”).
I have a tendency to wish that sculptures, installations and other fictional artistic creations were real. Case in point: this cabin.
Using a nineteenth-century architectural style and vintage building materials, the structure is both homage to the romantic spirit of the Western Myth and a commentary on the arrogance of Westward expansion.
Although this is just an installation, I think it’s a fantastic guest house idea. I do understand the commentary imbedded in such a structure, but I happen to like it aesthetically in its own right.

I love when my frustration at finding a great uncredited image is mitigated by that very image popping up in an artist portfolio I happen to be browsing.
I saw the following piece last year and had no idea that Pat Perry was responsible for it.
His work is positively overflowing with surreal detail.
Such an oddly innovative use of space and subject matter in these portraits…
I actually find this image rather heartbreaking.

I’d love to get my hands on a copy of Great Tales Of Horror And Suspense, illustrated by Harry Borgman in 1974.
The style is wonderful, and I’m digging his use of a single color in black and white images.

FINALLY, a cite that honors the painstaking efforts and progress that cats have made in the field of science!
I give you: Cat Scientists of the 1960’s!
I just spent a while digging though Ivica Stevanovic’s portfolio.
There are some nice children’s book illustrations, but I’m partial to the fantastic monsters, ghouls, ghosts and goblins in the mix.
It was also fun to explore the comic and graphic novel pages. See more here.
Now this is an idea I can get behind!
Raul Lemesoff converted a 1979 Ford Falcon into an awesome open-air tank bookmobile. He drives around Buenos Aires offering books to anyone who wants them. The Weapon of Mass Instruction, as Lemesoff calls it, promotes “peace through literature.” Lemesoff has already driven it to remote regions of Argentina and hopes to expand the project into other nations.
Think I could do this on a Honda Civic?
How could I not be a fan of John Clowder’s collage work? From the artist statement:
Our resource constituency comprises obsolete adverts, morbid medical texts, bone atlases, and zoographic curios.
I’m sold!

Does anyone have information about this company or product? All I know is, this commercial is AMAZING.
Really…take 30 seconds of your life to watch this.
