Hex Globe

Looks a bit like a 6-sided Flatland to me, but I want to visit Owl World.

B&W Makeup

Alexander Khokhlov is a Russian photographer who loves to use the human face as his canvas for creating graphic, black and white face painting with makeup. From the WiFi icon to the pop icon Mickey Mouse or a QRcode across his model’s faces, Khokhlov’s project is quite interesting. Rather than relying on canvas, paper, or any other synthetic material, Khokhlov relies on the beauty and lines of the feminine face to form this project, entitled Weird Beauty.

“Hi Gramma! I Made You a Lamp!”

“Gramma, I know that you and Grampa escaped the old country without shoes, but capitalism is evil, so I made you a lamp to show you how wrong you were to leave.” –Overheard at Zuccotti Park September 2012.

The .Gif Friday Post No.242 – CYRIAK

We’ve been posting Cyriak Harris‘ odd .gif animations occasionally for years without knowing that he was the original source. I never connected them with the videos that Bunkarina turned me onto (like “Cows and Cows and Cows“). The guy is brilliantly talented and one of the most entertaining animation artists I’ve seen since Terry Gilliam.

All three .gifs from Cyriak’s jawdropping website: here, here and here.

Strainer Face

He’s got a mind like a sieve.

Project Much?

[Found here, and posted to make up for this.]

Professional Shadow Puppetry

I can make a pretty good rabbit, donkey, swan and an elephant, but those three are professionals.

Yeah, I know, so don’t bother. XD

Update: Greetings to all you folks who came here from Gentlemint. Have a look around, just leave some breadcrumbs so you can find your way back out again. Tip o’ the tarboosh to Pets Lady for the links, and both sites have been added to our blogroll.
