Slinkachu "Little People Project"

via: Slinkachu

My 'Little People Project' started in 2006. It involves the remodelling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place and leave on the street. It is both a street art installation project and a photography project. The street-based side of my work plays with the notion of surprise and I aim to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography, and the titles I give these scenes aim to reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed. But underneath this, there is always some humour. I want people to be able to empathise with the tiny people in my works.

Photographer Stephanie Jung: Tripped Out Japan

German photographer Stephanie Jung's multiple-exposure series from Osaka, Nara, Shibuya and Tokyo unfortunately remind me less of the art that they are, but rather drunken memories from my visits to Tokyo.

Transparent Specimens Photography by Iori Tomita

by photographer Iori Tomita

Transparent specimens. they are far from what you might imagine from the word “specimens.” Although being organisms, they appear as if they were beautifully sculpted from minerals.

Originally, the method of making transparent specimens enzymatically turning the protein transparent, dyeing the bones magenta and dyeing the cartilages blue was established for scientific purposes to study the skeletal system. Taking this a step further to refine the form and coloration of the specimens requires time and experience.

I create transparent specimens as pieces of work that help people feel closer to the wonders of life.

Hong Kong in the Rain by Christophe Jacrot

It's odd when actual photographs look like CGI. But this is the case with Christophe Jacrot's Hong Kong in the Rain series. These night shots remind me of scenes from Blade Runner. Beautiful

HORROR VACUI - Retired 80's Villains

HORROR VACUI is a project from Photographer Fedrico Chiesa and Make-Up Artist Carolina Trotta showing what 80's villains may look like in retirement. I think Darth above should look a lot dirtier. Not so shiny with crap all over his armor.

The twins from The Shining are even more frightening


Jason looks pretty much like he did in the movies.


Freddy also looks like he could be back on set.


Now Michael Myers looks good as a geriatric.

Martin Klimas Photography: Secret "Dim Mak" Shattering Technique

This brought a smile to my face. I have a set of these exacts ceramic Kung Fu figures above. I can only imagine how many of these poor figures German photographer Martin Klimas had to go through to get these amazing shots. No, he isn't really using the dreaded death touch known as "Dim Mak", but using high speed photography to capture the moment of impact as he drops these figures to the ground. stunning.
