COOP... shows how to paint like him.

The one... the only... COOP shows you exactly how he makes this painting in his blog. Fascinating stuff. So now everyone can rip him off more accurately. Keep up the good work coop imposters there is only one original, and he doesnt mind giving away his secrets. Also... I really like the custom colt .45 he has pictured in his blog. Here is a link to that blog.

The midcentury illustrations of Boris Artzybasheff

Here are some of the anthropomorphic machines illustrations of Boris Artzybasheff from the 1950s, absolutely stunning work... the likes of which would be readily at home in current animation houses. Seriously imagine if a guy like this had access to Maya. It would be amazing.

This next link is a compendium of his work, there is a bunch of fantastic stuff on here, one that I like in particular is titled "Improved Design for Modern Man" and "Cybernetics". This guy did amazing work.

Crazy Buildings

Here is a small collection of strange buildings. I have actually been to one of these buildings and indeed it was amazing... and crazy. (Wonderworks) Although the list is small the buildings are bizarre. Some dance, some are very warped, some move floors around, others... were just built upside down. One looks like a robot.

Chocolate roulette: box of chocolates

One of the peices of the delicious bullet shaped candies in this set comes "loaded" with a super hot chili pepper.

Seated in individual compartments, twelve chocolate bullets lay waiting to be bitten into. Although eleven of the sweet little slugs contain delicious praline centres, one conceals a seriously red hot chilli that's guaranteed to blow your head off - metaphorically, at least.

Wonderfully whimsical gift for your chocoholic or suicidal friend... either way, show them you care by causing them pain.

Wonderful collection of mugshots.

This is a wonderful collection of historical mugshots from the past, some funny, others sad... all of them arrested. This is seriously the most extensive collection of mugshots that I have seen on the net.

Can you turn you "grill" all the way up to "bling"?

Where else but Gold Teeth America can you get a gold image of pac-man eating pot leaves in gold to wear on your teeth. It is the ultimate in ghetto-chic. My favorite thing on the website was found in the FAQ:

"What if I have some missing teeth?"
No problem! We can still make them as if there were no missing teeth at all.

It just screams classy. Although I would totally wear model #1927 out on a job interview. Nothing says "hire me" like the word "HEAD" written in gold across your teeth. And with my big ol' teef... you could read that from space. I also cant say how amused that I am that they can make them "while you wait" and then pay them with western union. Enjoy.

Ebay scammer gets pranked.

The one the only ZUG.com self proclaimed "the world's only comedy site" has a thorough description of the stressful events that go along with shipping a box with a three ring binder with glued on keys and a drawn on screen across the ocean over to london. It always makes me laugh when scammers get screwed over. (this happened a while ago and I remember reading it then, it is still just as awesome. SoI felt like sharing.) I was really sad to see how eBay dealt with this situation... but the outcome is hilarious. Please, check this funny article out. My description does it no justice.

Spices on sticks, the wave of the future.

I have to say, this site is the place for super cool modern kitchen tools, I really like the amount of creativity required to design a spice rack on sticks. Also check out the pizza cutter and the peeling tool. Nice.

The cube bed, modernism with an asian twist.

This bed seems like a regular four post, but it is actually a cube. Also, it has bamboo. Ok, so I guess that this isnt really newsworthy, but I thought it was a cool bed. Hey... look a cool bed.

Evil children and their food.

This is a gathered series of photos depicting children from real advertising campaigns from the past and their demonic stares. How very strange, this was supposed to make me want bread?

Galactika, the toilet seat.

This is the (apparently) famous, Galactika Luminous toilet seat. It features LEDs embedded inside of the plastic seat. I must say that I am impressed most with the wonderful translations found on the website. Seriously check it out.

The Blue Elvis Tape Dispenser.

I dont know if they got the hair exactly right, and it seems to be suffering from an overwhelming lack of rhinestones, but this plastic tape dispenser claims to be inspired by "the King's" dance moves. Well, I say shimmy on you tiny plastic scotch tape master, shimmy on.
