"Foodscapes is a series by photographer Carl Warner in which he creates beautiful surreal landscapes using various foods. Warner starts by visualizing and sketching his ideas, which are then built on a large table in his studio with the help of his team. Large blocks of polystyrene are carved and covered with ingredients in order to make the hills seen in his photos, while shallow tanks are used to create lakes, rivers, and seas. Photographs for three different layers (foreground, middle ground, and background) are captured separately and then combined in post."nom nom nom.
"Seeking to add some life to the drab grey pedestrian paths, artists Akay and Peter went around Stockholm, Sweden hanging 65 fun, ninja-like swings for the public to play with... it seems that joy and whimsy are necessary elements of sustainable design."
"More than just a design exercise, EVOKE Mio by Orla Kiely sounds fantastic too being based on own multi-award winning EVOKE-1S. It is packed with features too, including digital and FM radio, an input for your iPod/MP3 player, Intellitext and textSCAN, a striking auto-dimming OLED display, an alarm, a kitchen timer and a USB connector for future product upgrades."

"The project was shot on a Bolex NonRelfex 16mm film camera. It was done this spring along with Jeremy and Russell (in the credits) for an Advanced Experimental Film Production class. Instead of going for an abstract, art-house type project, our goal was to create a narrative using a rarely seen experimental technique; pixilation. Since the camera is designed for 16mm motion pictures, we had to disengage the motor and manually trigger the camera to advance one frame at a time." Eric Hanus
"At nearly eight minutes, this video is certainly….long. But, much like with any Rube Goldberg experiment, the payoff is that much sweeter. It’s not just about the final result (guy builds machine, guy asks girl to marry him, girl says yes); it’s also about the process. This dude was so excited to ask his girlfriend of nine and a half years to marry him that he turned the proposal into an outlandish sport. I like that. He wanted to impress her, and he even queued up the Rocky theme song to celebrate the victory. What surprise could be cuter than that?" Wedinator
