Grand model of Russia

in , , ,

"Grand Maket" is a scale model (1:87) of Russia covering the country on 200 square meters of permanent interactive (yes, trains are moving and so on) exhibition in Saint-Petersburg. This is a perfect place for kids and parents to spend a day discovering hidden and unusual parts of Russia scaled down and gently spiced with a humor in details. Check their official website. Many thanks to StPete based fashion photographer Daria Markova for materials

Barry X Ball sculpture

Barry X Ball is one hell of a sculptor who uses various types of marble and steel to create his works. Mr. Ball (if I may call him that) is currently based out of New York, USA, but originally hails from sunny Pasadena, California. His series, entitled “Masterpieces”, consist of recreated sculptural works after classic pieces of the Great Masters, such as Antonio Corradini, Josse de Corte, and the timeless Hermaphrodite Endormi (Ermafrodito Borghese) piece.

Sculpture by Kris Kuksi

in , , ,

Controversial grotesquely molded sculptures by Kris Kuksi juxtapose two worlds of antique beauty and modern machinery. In personal reflection, he feels that much of mankind in the World today is elastic and fragile being driven primarily by greed and materialism. He hopes that through his art expose his audience to the awareness of the fallacies of Man. His work has received several awards and prizes and has been featured in over 100 exhibitions world wide as well as featured in international art magazines and fictional book covers.

We all know that Keep Calm and Carry on poster. But ever wondered where did it come from? Barter Books, the bookstore behind the revival of this poster edited a video explaining its history, from the original poster to the iPhone App they just edited. The iPhone App is in fact free for a limited time, so grave it while you can on the App Store.

We made an animated GIFs to show all absurd of being slim by following some proprietary canon.
