Kickass collection of Angry Birds LEGO art by Tsang Yiu Keung. Note: Catapult them and they will assuredly shatter into a pile of tiny LEGO bricks, just like the fate of the pigs they're aiming for.
For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country—and a most curious country it was. She found herself on the flat bottom of a shallow, felted basin. 'I declare it's marked out just like a large billiards table!' Alice said at last.
We know you love Scrabble. What about booze? Combine the two and you've got Scrabble night at the Deyermond Art & Bookstore in Santa Monica.
Hold the repulsion- we're talking art, not lice. Seattle artist Adrienne Antonson makes tiny insect sculptures with recycled human hair and glue, and they're pretty spectacular.
The blog listing for the Fotoblur Magazine competition now has a picture of the cover of Issue 8. Check it out here. http://photography-contests.wonderhowto.com/blog/fotoblur-magazine-photographic-art-competition-deadline-january-31-2011-0123878/
Not sure about the entire STEALING other children's LEGOs is cool in this short, but the sense of style and mood is quite beautiful. It features LEGOs and thats all that matters to me.
Via Ethical Style.
The visual style of this trailer looks like not only the amalgamation, but also the perfection, of all the great visual pieces that have been popping up on Vimeo lately. Handheld, dynamic natural lighting, you name it; ironically, this film makes Terrence Malick look self-reflexive in the best way possible.

Artist Pahnl Whatnow has breathed life into spray paint with his trippy amoeba-esque animated images. Whatnow created his "Aerosol Amoeba" by dripping spray paint on acetate for a total of 144 hours, and then condensed the motion down to four minutes.
Google StreetView is watching everybody. In fact, Google captures so much, Jon Rafman has made art out of it. Rafman's blog 9eyes features the most interesting images found the cameras nine eyes (and no brain).
We've said it before and we'll say it again: Practice makes perfect. Even when it comes to the improbable art of long-distance parotta throwing. If there were an Olympic gold medal for doughy discus throw, this South Indian chef would surely take it.
Skateistan is a nongovernmental organization providing lessons in skateboarding, environmental health, information technology, art and language in a coed setting to hundreds of urban kids in Kabul, Afghanistan. Below, a short documentary on the movement, directed by Orlando von Einsiedel.
“Domestic Stills” (Domestication, femininity and subversion) is an oddly interesting photography project by Namiko Kitaura in which the artist fries, washes and stitches flowers.
Everybody has some kind of calling in life and it looks like artist Frank Bölter's is the construction of life-sized origami boats. He's done it before, and he's at it again. His latest creation recently set sail on the Thames as a part of London's Drift10 art exhibition.

Okay, so this is possibly an ad for REI. Regardless, there's something to learn here! This well traveled dude uses the "clown car" style of packing to cram tons of clothing into a regular sized day pack. Tons of clothing.
Treat someone special to a good ol' fashioned tea tray. Butler style.
When a person sits motionless for hours on end in front of a television screen, it's sloth; when a camera does the same, it's art! Case in point, these beautiful long-exposure photographs of old Atari games by Rosemarie Fiore:
John Carpenter's THE WARD screened at last night's Midnight Madness event and it wasn't too bad! We talked with some fans and discussed the fine art of the jump-scare..
Jim Henson was truly a rare magical talent. Lucky for us, the master is back in brief, for 14 minutes and 54 seconds of instruction on the art of puppet making. All you need are a few common, junk drawer items such as tennis balls, spoons, socks, cardboard tubes, or envelopes.
Apparently IKEA does not sell matches or lighters, so Helmut Smits was forced to improvise. Titled FLAMMA, this conceptual art piece is outdoor survivalism for the resourceful yuppie set.
Bubble-smith Sterling Johnson recently took his voluminous bubble art to the shores of Stinson Beach, California. Presented in slow motion, the bubbles resemble spectral whales. Pint-sized Ahabs follow in pursuit. The effect is extraordinarily pacifying.
It's great to see something that will probably never make it to the United States. This game from Atlus looks like a fancy art film. It's an adult thriller filled with murderous sheep-men and the American taboo: sex.
There are lots of simple "hack-like" fashion projects on the web, but kudos to the Glamourai for bringing Style into the equation. Her "Scarf-tan-ette" is surprisingly chic considering it's simplicity. Relatively uncomplicated to make, all you need is a couple vintage scarves, some chain, pins and a sewing machine. (The YSL sunglasses help the look as well.)
François Vautier built an art farm into his scanner and then proceeded to scan the farm each week for a duration of five years. Amazing time-lapsed result below. Inspired project... though perhaps not quite as inspired as the massive ant city filled with cement and then evacuated (video #2 in the gallery below). Insane. Don't miss it.
Fan Posters.
Art by EIKO_ISHIZAWA. I've already read some warnings....be careful where u sleep. One woman claimed a bear actually mounted her when she was wearing this thing.

I'm not sure I could bear to eat these if they were served to me. They're so beautiful! The original link is in Swedish, but you can use Google Translate to switch into English.
This article is about the novel 'Twilight' which gained huge success and still to this day, garners much attention. I hope you enjoy.
Walk through of the hotly anticipated game Epic Mickey for the Wii. The game went through a redesign to make it look closer to a lot of the amazing concept art shown earlier in the year.
W-O-W. This trailer looks amazing. From 2kGames (Bioshock), this game looks to be set in the 50's with stellar art direction. I don't know how well this sits with people who have played the previous XCOM games, but from a new player perspective I really loved the trailer.
Here is the LEGO movie, The Road to South Africa, about England's Journey to the World Cup 2010.
May have already been posted before, but this is a great, growing resource for title sequences. Many of them have interviews with the designers/artists as well.
Craft offers up a fun way to dress up your sneakers. Not into basket weave? Never fear. WonderHowTo's got plenty more styles to try.
For an ivy league freshman in 1973, it was simply a rite of passage to take a date to a foreign film. I would pretend (oscar worthy effort by yours truly) to adore each film...for the simple purpose of maybe getting lucky with an ivy league female. By accident, I actually enjoyed this insane film. Border-line pornography, it made excess an art form.
When two houses were scheduled for demolition, artists Dan Havel and Dean Ruck of Art League Houston decided to take advantage of the situation and create the super trippy Tunnel House.
Cameroon has a lot to offer and even more to prove. But this article doesn't help anyone.
