I’ve never wanted to wear 3D glasses more than I do after coming across this nifty, stereoscopic 3D mural from Baltimore’s XXist. The coolest aspect to this piece is the collective raised the necessary funds to pull it off through Kickstarter. Well, okay, that’s secondary to making a 3D mural in the first place, but [...]

Anyway, the attention to detail on these cupcakes is just astounding! We have no idea if they contain any [...]
Ernest Zacharevic is a Lithuanian street artist who blends stencils with actual objects into his graffiti. He recently hit the streets of Belgium for several new pieces, including the one of Tintin above.
Andy Ellison works at Boston’s BU medical school. As part of his job, he has access to a research-only MRI scanner; over the past few months he’s been using a panoply of fruits and vegetables to calibrate and check the quality of the MRI scans.

In Undone, a stop-motion film by animator Hayley Morris, “a drifting man struggles to pull objects from the roiling sea below him and scrambles to keep the objects from slipping through his fingers.” The short was inspired by her grandfather to capture the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
