I’m currently working on a fantasy web design and these reflective photographs are perfect to give me the inspiration that I need.

Enough about human growth hormone for sale. Allow me to share something cool (once again) to everyone who visits my blog. I came across this post while looking for weird art collections and may I say they just fall right into that category. I love it! It’s edgy, unique and just totally mind-blowing. If your art can affect people as much as these can, then you’re on the right track.
Liz and Phil Down by the Lake by Greg Taylor
This Australian sculpture featured Elizabeth and Prince Philip sitting in the buff in front of the Canberra Parliament House. It lasted a mere week before an angry protester beheaded Queen Elizabeth. Further vandalism of the sculpture resulted in its removal.
Piss Christ by Andres Serrano
Serrano caused a scandal that was heavily debated on the floor of the United States Senate in 1989. The photograph of a tiny plastic crucifix in a cup of Serrano’s urine sparked much debate surrounding artistic freedom, but won a competition held by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art.
Love and Redemption by Joel Peter-Witkin
Peter-Witkin’s highly graphic photography features the dismembered arm and head of a human corpse. This piece was created in Mexico, because its production would have been illegal in the United States.
Shark by David Cerny
This work was created as a parody of the equally controversial Damien Hirst piece entitled “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.” Cerny’s version depicts a nearly naked Saddam Hussein handcuffed and suspended in a tank of formeldehyde.
See my first post about it here.
Aren’t these the coolest? The details are just amazing and I love how they display the big version then the small version next. The third or last photo is their actual size.

I’m addicted to all kinds of lists and collections that has to do with web and graphic design. For this post, it’s another batch of out-of-the-box business cards that can totally blow your client’s minds.
Brushes are always a part of a good design. For some who’d rather use pre-made brushes, you’d be glad to know that there are tons of free stuff that you can download from the Internet. On this post, you can choose from several kinds of floral brushes that you can use as an element or background to your web design.
Check out the full list here.
Should I upgrade or not yet? You gotta admit their artworks are just too amazing for words.
Just thought I’d share with you something that I came across online. It’s about tilt-shift photography, a procedure that involves tilting and shifting camera movements to emulate the depth of field of a macro lens. With this type of photography, you can make life-size objects look like they are miniatures. It’s very cool and I’m very excited to try this out myself.

Whenever I start with a design concept, it’s important that I surround myself with things that can inspire me. It could be a blog, a cartoon drawing, a piece of fabric or even an old photo. It doesn’t matter as long as it lets my creative juices flowing. Most of the time, whenever I run out of ideas, I just click the desktop button on my toolbar and whatever is on my screen should be enough to refresh my head. So without further ado, let me showcase some really nice wallpapers for dual screens and triple monitors.

Costume play or “Cosplay” is a type of performance art wherein the participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character which is often drawn from popular fiction in Japan. Artists everywhere delights in the creativeness of the model in portraying their selected character. With several creative props and costumes, a stunning character is made into being…
There are plenty but let me just post here my favorites. I love anime, manga but Cosplay usually makes me laugh. However, these photographs were so good that it seems I could hear the theme song being played in the background.
You probably think yours is the best right now. But not until you’ve seen this:

I’ve been meaning to blog about this but just couldn’t find the right time. I admit I’m saving this up because of how cool it is. Just don’t want to post it on any ordinary day but now that I can’t think of anything, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Little People.
The blog describes them as – “Little hand-painted people, left in London to fend for themselves”
The third photo is our normal view and shows how small they really are.

Stumbled upon a very nice collection of artworks at Smashing Magazine this morning.
These artworks are designed to inspire and stir your imaginations. I for one couldn’t figure out how they did these in Photoshop but you bet I’d be more than willing to learn. I hope they’ll feature a tutorial next on how to do one of these.
