Body Painting Art by Craig Tracy

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:17:00 +0000

American artist Craig Tracy from New Orleans has created a collection that could be regarded as some of the best body painting in the world. Some of his paintings use only human volunteers while on others he merges them with backdrops to give the display depth. Some of his creations are so complex it’s difficult to work out where the bodies start and the background begins like the below “leopard” one.

The creature’s eyes, cheeks and chin have been painted onto the floor while the back of a female volunteer forms the rest of its face – her bottom is used as the big cat’s nose and top lip.

To create painting, he needs to spends up to nine hours painstakingly applying water-based paint to his volunteers’ bodies before photographing them in unique poses.

How to Make a Meat Hand for Halloween

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:33:00 +0000

The folks at Not Martha have provided you with a step-by-step recipe to create a memorable Halloween menu item - the Meat Hand. As the blogger there says, "Since August, I've had a post-it over my desk that simply said 'meat hand'." I'm sure co-workers were a bit concerned to see the phrase "meat hand" hovering over your desk.

From the onion fingernails to the wrist-bone, and melted cheese and ketchup, I have to say that a meat hand lying in a mashed potato bed would likely be an attention-getter for your holiday gatherings.

Eric Zener's Underwater Paintings

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:59:00 +0000

Designer hyperrealist California based Eric Zener draws beautiful oil painting. His main theme - water, swimmers, air bubbles in the water, beaches and just people. Sometimes Eric uses a mixed technique and then his remarkable paintings can not be distinguished from the photos.

According to the artist "My work is about psychological turning points and transformations and risk, taking that proverbial leap of faith, balanced with that quest for finding refuge, finding quietness and stillness and escapism," he said. "Some [paintings] are very, very introspective escapism. Some are just the joy, the pool full of people in this temporary oasis. The 10 minutes when you hit the water for the first time and the smell of sun tan lotion hits your nose. You really don't think about anything for those first few minutes."

Beautiful Icebergs

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:26:00 +0000

Nobody can understand magic of nature. Those people who go into detail to understand the nature they find more and more logic to understand more. One of great example as a beauty of nature is iceberg which takes years to form but it is just like magic. Most Part of iceberg is in water and rest is above water surface, it looks great.

They are formed when snow falls on the already icy land on the shores of the Antarctic continent. The snow never melts and eventually there is so much it begins to pack down and form ice. That ice eventually begins sliding into the sea - thus, an iceberg is born. Most icebergs display only 10% of their total mass above water while the other 90% remains beneath the surface. It takes hundreds and thousands of years for an iceberg to form to the sizes we usually see.

Skiing Robot

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:20:00 +0000

Bojan Nemec of the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia developed an AI-enabled robot that can maneuver on skis without falling over:

The laptop control center plans the robot’s trajectory, using a camera to measure its distance from the race gates. Gyros and force sensors help the bot stay stabilized on the slopes.

The robot carries a GPS unit, but it’s used to help measure speed, not for trajectory planning. That makes sense, if you’re trying to build a robot that works more like a human, relying on vision.

World's Largest Treehouse

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:26:00 +0000

Think you had the world’s greatest treehouse as a kid? Well this guy’s got you beat. Horace Burgess’s treehouse is located somewhere near Crossville, Tennessee and stands over 97-feet tall thanks to the 80-foot white oak tree it was built around which also happens to be about 12-feet in diameter at its base. It has 11 floors, somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, a miniature basketball court and is held together by roughly 258,000 nails. If you can think of a better way to spend $12,000, I’d like to hear it. For more details visit usatoday.

Money Does Grow On Trees

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:00:00 +0000

Dd your mother ever say you these words ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ in an attempt to curb your profligate ways? Well, maybe she was wrong. There are places in England where money apparently does just that.

Perhaps it is to simply good luck or perhaps people believe that by leaving a coin in the bark of the tree they may have it returned to them many times over. Whatever the origins of this strange habit, there are a number of trees in the United Kingdom that bear the financial hopes of many. Perhaps they found it difficult to reconcile their gross habits with their net income. The people of Yorkshire, in the north of England are renowned for being careful with their money. While this localized stereotype may not always be fair there is evidence that on occasion they are willing to throw caution to the wind and hammer their low denomination coinage in to trees.

Close up it seems as if the coins have almost merged with the wood, but that is the effect of the weather upon the metal. Some suggest that the reason money is pushed in to the bark is more than just a desire to increase one’s wealth. It is thought that the amount of coins pushed in by an individual may result in them producing the same amount of children when their natural fecundity discovers a partner. The tree itself, though long since alive, has come to bear a marked resemblance to the torso of some sort of lizard, the coins becoming its scales. It is almost Arthurian in its strangeness.

Creative, Crazy and Funny Billboards

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:47:00 +0000

The billboard is one of the highly effective advertisement strategies. When driving along the road, highway, interstates, city center and the business district street, the billboard use quick-witted slogan and the eye-catching image receive driver’s attention.

In my opinion, this kind of advertisement is a tricky duty. The messages must be simple, effective and creative in order to attract driver attention in a second.

Here’s a big collection of interesting and creative billboard advertising.

Asperatus: A New Cloud Type Discovered

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:33:00 +0000

Asperatus is a rare, newly recognized cloud formation, that was proposed in 2009 as the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization. The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves.

Experts at the Royal Meteorological Society are now attempting to make it official by naming it 'Asperatus' after the Latin word for 'rough'.

The clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds. Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming. The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity. As of June, 2009 the Royal Meteorological Society is gathering evidence of the type of weather patterns in which undulus asperatus clouds appear, so as to study how they form and decide whether they are distinct from other undulatus clouds.

Salvation Mountain

noreply@blogger.com (Fresh Pics) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:41:00 +0000

Salvation Mountain is a colorful artificial mountain north of Calipatria, California, near Slab City. It is made from adobe, straw, and thousands of gallons of paint. It was created by Leonard Knight to convey the message that “God Loves Everyone”.

Leonard Knight has been painting and repainting his bright Biblical messages on the sides of Salvation Mountain since the 1985. On the arid flats east of San Diego, his mountain pokes up into the bright sun. Odds are you'll get excellent photos, and Leonard will be busy repainting faded parts of his vision. He requests that all donations be in the form of paint, preferably acrylic.

Leonard is a classic lone dreamer, intent on feeding his vision. But he's friendly, welcoming all who visit. He sleeps in the Salvation Truck, a decorated vehicle with a house on the back. The truck, like the mountain, is lettered with biblical quotations and a large "REPENT" warning. The sight of Salvation Mountain his three story tall, 100-foot wide riot of concrete, adobe and paint greets him each morning.

Salvation Mountain continues to thrive and grow. Steps carved into the mountain allow visitors to ascend to the upper terraces. You can pretty much climb anywhere you like for a photo opportunity. Just bring some paint.
