The Bendito Machine

Here's a fun video from www.Zumbakamera.com and there's more where that came from! Check out the illustration gallery while you're there!

Novus Natura

You'll never believe the ungodly amount of detail that has been crammed into this collaboration drawing by Lars Peterson and Ben Tolman until you see it first hand. It's called Novus Natura and it can be viewed in full, all 33″x42″ of inked eye candy, or it can be viewed in individual panels. Prints of this artwork are unbelievably inexpensive.Continue readingNovus Natura

Analogia

Inspired by fractals, moire patterns, ad Islamic art, artist Andres Amador creates beautiful patterns of light in 3D sculpture that just blow me away. Among the vivid images of intricate sand cirlces and light patterns are videos of his artwork in motion. The site is more than visual eye candy; he often offers thought provoking insights and theories when heContinue readingAnalogia

Graffiti Archaeology

I've always been interested in graffiti as there's been plenty of it here in Flint. I often wish I could have snapped pictures of “the block” near my old high school as it has changed over the years. The block is a wall that seems to serve no other purpose than having been unofficially designated for graffiti. Needless to say,Continue readingGraffiti Archaeology

Mathematic Origami

Jeremy Shafer of BARF (Bay Area Rapid Folders) and author of Origami to Astonish and Amuse is a connoisseur of entertainment.

Fractal Quilts

First, take a look at this breathtaking gallery of colorful mathematical quits created by the talented Rose Rushbrooke. When you're done ooo-ing and ahhhh-ing over those, check outContinue readingFractal Quilts

The Bluesfear Worm

Could it really be the longest page on the Internet? These artists have put together a seemingly never ending “worm” of images, each one blending with the last. It's definitely a bright, fun and insteresting look at modern day pop culture. The graphics worm is now 63.88 ft and it has over 90 images so far!

Honeycomb Lamp

I stumbled upon a site displaying this beautiful lamp made of paper and couldn't take my eyes off of it. It was created by Kouichi Okamoto and is produced by Kyouei Co. Ltd., Japan. When the lamp is folded, the thickness is about 2 cm. Check out this link to find out more information and see beautiful pictures of thisContinue readingHoneycomb Lamp

Thing in a Jar

How would you like to find this in your fridge, or perhaps have it given to you as a gift? Drew Olbrich has one of these sitting in his office at work. He calls it “thing in a jar.” omigod. gross. (but it sure beats the candybar in a jar of apple juice gag)
