Our country would look pretty different if it weren’t for the defeat of General Frankenstein at Bunker Hill or Metallo the mechanical man’s passages in the Declaration of Independence. At least that's the way these events occur in artist Matthew Buchholz’s ‘Alternate Histories’ poster series.
Scott Weaver has spent the last 35 years building a highly-detailed tower replica of San Francisco using only toothpicks. And it that wasn’t impressive (or insane) enough, his tower allows ping pong balls to take a half-dozen differently routed tours throughout San Francisco’s neighborhoods and famous landmarks.
In the video below, Walker walks you through all of his painstaking creation’s twists.
Origami, the Japanese art of folding paper, is impressive enough on its own, let alone when it’s done in miniature form. Yet that’s what artist Anja Markiewicz does, creating amazingly tiny sculptures of things like animals and snowflakes out of paper less than an inch in width.
August 16, 2011 I knew today would be a good day for rock when I woke up to a thunderstorm roaring at 7 in the morning. It must have been a sign as there was a rock poster design class scheduled for this afternoon at the Bozeman Public Library. Tate Chamberlin of Chamberlin Productions put on a workshop for kids from the community to learn a bit of design and create their own rock posters.
How would you react if a painting suddenly came to life? Alexa Meade‘s painted people look like works of art but move like humans — making for an eerie sight.
Whereas most artists would just paint their subjects on a canvas, Meade actually turns her subjects INTO the canvas. She creates life-size installations that are shockingly exact in their similarity to actual acrylic paintings. Upon first glance it’s almost impossible to tell that there are real people under all that paint.
