Thanks goes out to artist Agustina Woodgate for being creative (and weird) enough to build two castles out of compressed human hair bricks.

Spanish designer Maximo Riera likes to design chairs that exhibit animal forms. The designer’s Rhino Chair, Walrus Chair and Octopus Chair, part of the Animal Chair collection, are equally interesting mainly because of the unexpected nature (no pun intended) of the chairs’ forms.

Andre De Freitas is a photographer and illustrator. He studied in Full Sail University and got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Animation. But oddly enough, the concept of stillness captured his imagination, and he focused more on illustration. Instead of just drawing, he tried to imagine himself taking photos of his subjects. That way the illusion of stillness would be a little more believable, almost like ...

Robert realized that his skeleton was limited: it was wired together for display. He traded his skeleton for a disarticulated human skeleton online - ...
