There’s no real point to posting this video, other than I expected it to be stupid and then ended up watching a decent amount of it. Basically, the guy shapes a ginormous jawbreaker into a cup by way of a lathe. It’s not worth watching for the whole 13 minutes, but it’s worth a skim. The way the colored layers are revealed is kind of...

If there was ever a case to be made against Amazon.com, it would be that it allows this guy to buy the things he needs to make a homemade ‘chainsaw’ weapon out of steak knives and a handheld drill. I check this guy’s Youtube account from time to time, mainly to see if he’s still alive, and have to admit that there is a part of me that loves all of the homemade weapons he makes. Understand, though, that this is the same...

It’s a pretty hilarious concept and photo series, and perhaps the most unflattering (and probably most uncomfortable) way to have your portrait taken.

Mr. Whalen is one of those artists that humbles me when I see just how much work he has put out – and how good it all is. What you...

This kind of blew my mind when I saw it – a pedal-powered bicycle “Ferrari” called the Fahrradi Farfall FFX. Okay, “bicycle” probably isn’t the right word, and granted, once you take a closer look, it’s obvious that it isn’t a Ferrari. But all things considered, let’s just say they did wayyy better than I ever could have. It’s also sort of strange that I came across this, since it...

I know I’m a little late on this, but I didn’t get a chance to update the site yesterday after I learned that Maurice Sendak passed away. But I wanted to do something, and this was one of the coolest things I came across about Mr. Sendak and his work. This comic was originally published in The New Yorker and was written and illustrated by Art Spiegelman about his visit and subsequent conversation with Sendak at his home in...
