Take a look at these three Hungarian posters for the Star Wars trilogy: A New Hope (above, left), Empire Strikes Back (above, right) and Return of the Jedi (below).
Don't you have the impression that the designer did not watched any of these movies...?

These three and a bunch more are HERE.

100 meters of existence

Photographer Simon Hogsberg created an image with 100 meters in length (100m x 78cm), in which there are 178 people, all shot photographed in the course of 20 days from the same spot on a bridge in Berlin.
This beautiful image is named "We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence".
It is very interesting ... Click the image above to proceed.

Antique Soviet Christmas Cards

A gallery with lots of antique Soviet Christmas cards, all space-themed.
The most interesting part, in my opinion, is that these cards are soaked in ideological propaganda...
Check it out HERE.

Walls

I like these images. I specially like the contrast between the "urban soul" of the paintings and the bucolic environment. Click to enlarge.
I couldn't find any information about the artist. If you know something about him/her please share...

Bloom

"Bloom" is an installation of yellow umbrellas in reposition to the foliage lost by a tree, executed by artist Sam Spenser.
Yesterday I posted one of these images at "Daily (weird) Images" but after I found some more beautiful pics and some information too: the tree is placed near the Wapping Project, in London, and it was modified last year.
See more images after the jump.

Passing time

A message which is posted every 12 hours thanks to more than 500 clocks. It is about the project of Nadine Grenier, coed in Esad: an elegant work around the time which passes, at the time of Biennial international Design in Saint-Etienne.
The message is "Le temps passe, e chaque fois qu'il y a du temps qui passe, il y a quelque chose qui s'efface" - or something like "The time passes, and each time the time passes, there's something that vanishes."
Nice idea to talk about the passage of time using clocks...

Mad Max Buggy

Digital artist Marek Denko created a series of 3D illustrations of Mad Max-inspired buggies. Everything amazingly detailed - and so beautifully made that anyone could be used as your computer wallpaper.

The first sound cartoon to be produced in color
August 16th, 1930. The first sound cartoon to be produced in color (using two-color Technicolor processing), "Fiddlesticks" was also the first production by Ub Iwerks through his newly formed Iwerks Studios for Pat Powers' Celebrity Productions, as well as the first Flip the Frog cartoon.
Though a classic, "Fiddlesticks" would seem to be mostly a demonstration of Iwerks' artistic ingenuity and a publicity tool for his new independence from Disney, as all subsequent Flip the Frog cartoons demonstrated an updated artistic style (including the Flip character himself), contained more linear plots, and were all featured in black and white.

Tatoo generator

Do you want to make a video clip in which your name (or any word you like) appears as a tatoo?
At Crusty Demons Tatoo Parlour you can choose the drawings and also the place (of the model's body) in which your tatoo is going to be printed (there are 4 options). Then you watch the video clip of your tatoo being showed - and you can save the image as a wallpaper or send the video to your friends.
This image above is a snapshot from one of the videos that I made to zootropole - other 3 are after the jump (as well as the link to the generator).

Vintage space posters

A fantastic selection of vintage posters and illustrations on space tourism. It's interesting to see the optimistic vision of the early 20th Century - the universe was at hand to be explored by anyone (in fact by whole families...)

Khoda
Khoda is a psychological thriller directed by Reza Dolatabadi. It took two years and 6.000 paintings to be produced. This great animation (by Adam Thomson) has been awarded in several film festivals.
It really worth a view...

Astronauts

Paintings of astronauts in everyday situations. That's what artist Scott Listfield does: "the astronauts in my paintings are simply here to explore the present", according to him.
At his gallery you'll find more examples of such paintings (LINK ) - and there you also can see a gallery dedicated to dinosaurs...

Soft drink can art
It's amazing what you can do with time to spare and a lot of soft drink cans.
Or with photoshop, which appears to be the case here. Anyway it's a good work...

Puppetry for grown-ups

Concepção (Conception, in English) is a scene from the show "Em concerto" (In Concert) by Grupo Contadores de Estórias. It's about a birth scene played by a puppet - which is controlled by Rachel and Marcos Caetano Ribas, a couple of artists from the city of Paraty.
It's an interesting scene (short clip below). After the jump you will find also an extended version, and another scene from the same show featuring two elders flirting.
The image quality is poor, but it worth a view. It's interesting to see that puppetry is also for us, adults.

Skip conversions

Why not to convert those skips that every now and then appear at our streets? That's the idea developed by Oliver Bishop-Young: to transform skips into places for fun and integration.

Kiss everywhere


(Almost) everybody likes Kiss, and if you don't at least you have heard about them.
