Uncomfortable Creations of Everyday Objects By Katerina Kamprani

Product designers are often preoccupied with making objects that are as useful as possible. However, Katerina Kamprani, an Athens-based architect and 3d modeller, has created a series of everyday objects called “The Uncomfortable” where just the opposite is true.

Instead of searching for the optimal solution to a problem, Kamprani has done the exact opposite, – she has carefully considered each objects intended function and then discovered the best tongue-in-cheek way to confound that function.

 

“When it comes to everyday objects, we have an idea in our minds what it could do. We all know what a fork does, and a spoon does, and all these everyday objects. So you have an expectation for that object. What I design is very close to that, but a bit different.”

“Many people get angry seeing this,” she says. “I don’t know why. They say, ‘Oh it just makes me so angry.’”

Mind Blowing Mirror Photography

These Images are not Photoshopped, these was created using only mirrors, with mirrors a part of the body is disappeared and replaced by the reflected image.

  

Reflections Photography can be extremely rewarding and produce stunning results, but sometimes achieving those mind blowing shots can be harder than first thought. These optical illusions are just amazing and brilliantly put together. 

 

Bottled Smoke Art By Jim Dingilian 2

Jim Dingilian creates incredible subtractive images from bottles filled with smoke. The artist begins by coating the bottles’ inner surfaces with smoke. He then uses brushes and small implements mounted on the ends of dowels to reach inside. With a steady hand, Jim slowly and selectively erases certain areas. The smoke which remains on the glass forms the amazing images seen below.

 

Dingilian was born in York, PA but spent seven years of his childhood in Waterloo, Belgium before returning to the United States, receiving his MFA in photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1996. Represented by the McKenzie Fine Art Gallery in New York, Dingilian’s work centers around subtractive images on found objects. As Jim explains:
“The miniature scenes I depict are of locations on the edge of suburbia which seem mysterious or even slightly menacing despite their commonplace nature. The bottles add to the implied narratives of transgression. When found by the sides of roads or in the weeds near the edges of parking lots, empty liquor bottles are artifacts of consumption, delight, or dread. As art objects, they become hourglasses of sorts, their drained interiors now inhabited by dim memories.”

Incredible Illusionist 3D Sand Art

This is a kind of a new art that’s spreading slowly lately, it’s the sand art, not sand sculpture art, but sand 3D drawings which vanish in the same day they are created in, but still a joy for the artist and the people who watch it till the sunsets down by the end of the day, so he photographs them after they are finished, not to be done in vain, specially that they are perfectly done.

Jamie Harkins is a creative artist and also a musician from New Zealand, and he is the one who came with all these ideas, helped him making them are other artists such as; David Rendu, Constanza Nightingale and Lucia Lupf, but their kind of work looks like a 3D art, but it’s actually a 2D art which is done by a way that looks like a 3D art, and it’s called “anamorphous” art, where artists draws it to looks like a 3D art from one angle and from a far distance, but from any other angle, it doesn’t appear to be anything at all, he strengthen his art by adding the members of his team interacting with the drawing as a part of it, so that it looks more real to viewers. He says about his sand art: “We’ve seen other people doing stuff on beaches, but it’s always been geometric, flat shapes, like a pattern, so we thought we’d get into the whole 3D thing. And I kind of like the fact that it disappears at the end of the day when the tide comes in. It makes it impermanent.”

Incriduble Sculpture Of Globe Out Of Matchsticks And Paint

Andy Yoder Spent Over Two Years Creating A Globe Out Of Matchsticks And Paint

 

Sculptor Andy Yoder spent nearly two years on his piece, Early One Morning, painstakingly applying thousands of painted matches to create a globe with the implied potential to catch fire. The matches, which were individually hand-painted, recreate the continents and oceans, but also swirling weather patterns (of note, Hurricane Sandy is seen off the west coast of North America).

 

 

The wooden matches are connected to a food and cardboard base, held together by a plywood skeleton (as a precaution, Yoder covered the piece a flame retardant chemical). Yoder’s piece can be seen Winkleman Gallery at this year’s PULSE New York Contemporary Art Fair, May 8–11. (via from89 and junk-culture)

Buffalo Bodypainting Competition in China

Artists from eight countries gathered in Jiangcheng county in China on May 18 to take part in an international buffalo bodypainting competition. The city of Pu’er has held cattle bodypainting competition for the last three years, and this year’s competition coincides with the 60th anniversary of the founding of Jiangcheng County.

A total of 48 water buffalos were covered in brightly colored body paint. Every cow was painted by a group consisting of 3 to 7 artists from United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Finland, New Zealand, Vietnam, Laos and China. A prize money of 100,000 yuan ($16,042) was on offer for the most beautifully decorated bovine. This year, the first pace was won by a team of local schoolchildren.

Painting on the buffalos is an ancient custom in Jiancheng derived from a legend, according to which a group of water buffaloes were once attacked by a large tiger when they were taken to the fields to graze. The tiger caught one unfortunate buffalo and as the two creatures struggled around on the field, mud and blood covered the buffalo's body. The bull looked so terrifying that the tiger got scared and ran away. After that locals started painting on their cattle to keep the predators away. The tradition later developed into a popular festival held each year to celebrate harvest and honor the cattle.

Breathtaking White Ink Tattoos

White ink tattoos bring take tattoos to a whole new level. By using thickened white paint, you can have a piece of art that's elegant or can glow in the dark. 

They aren't for everyone, though. Some skin tones don't work well with it or the intended design turns out poorly. But, if done correctly, white ink tattoos are pretty cool.

This type of cosmetic  is wide spread, it's a type of art illusion, or masking art which looks like a real things, these people used cosmetics to change their face appearance like what we see in Hollywood movies, the horror movies specially.

Sleeveface - The Art of Making Photos

How did I manage to miss the record-to-face-selfie, aka sleevefacing, phenomenon? The term was first coined in 2007 by Welsh DJ Carl Morris after pictures were taken of him holding record sleeves to his faces. An official Sleeveface blog followed in 2008 and the rest is hours of entertainment history. These are some of my favorites . . .
