The ledger art of Jill Sylvia

These paper sculptures by Jill Sylvia blow my mind. If Brian Dettmer and Jen Stark had a love-child... With all three of these artists, I just can't get over the anality involved, the obsessiveness and precision required.

"Delhi street dog."

This awful creature was chewing a wad of wet cardboard when i saw him in the street in a Delhi suburb. He was covered in growths and obviously infested with parasites. I wondered why no one had thought to put him out of his misery, but then i questioned whether i could have done it myself, i think not.

Crayon Pixel-Art by Christian Faur (35 pics)

It is very difficult to astonish me. I’ve seen a lot of things on the internet.
But the creative works of Christian Faur just stunned me by their beauty.
The master creates his masterpieces from…crayons and they look like photographs.
All the pics are after the jump.

25 Places to Find Awesome Stock Photos — Free and Cheap!

stock-img-00Whether you’re designing an artistic website or searching for images to post on your blog, sites that carry not only free but awesome stock photos may very well come in handy. Utilizing the correct set of photos for any project is key, especially if you’re designing an ad for a client, you should always put in your best effort as well as the best images you can find fit for the job.

Many of the designers I’ve come across like to download most of their images from 2-3 of the largest sites containing stock photos, however as creative artists I believe we should play the mix and match game that allows us to choose from wide variety of stock images instead of the same “old” set of photos we may be fond of.

Scenes from the zoo

According to the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), over 600 million visitors pass through the gates of over 1,300 zoological parks, reserves and aquariums worldwide every year. Springtime brings many new animals to these parks as well, as newborns. Collected here are some photographs from zoos and aquariums around the world from the past couple of months. Don't forget that 2009 has been designated as the "year of the gorilla" by the United Nations. (37 photos total)

Pirate Bay lawyer calls for retrial
A lawyer representing one of the men convicted in the Pirate Bay trial has called for a retrial after reports that the judge was a member of the same copyright protection organisations as several of the main entertainment industry representatives.

The judge in the Pirate Bay case, Tomas Norström, has been a member of several of the same copyright protection organisations as several of the main entertainment industry representatives, Sveriges Radio's P3 news programme reports.

Peter Althin, the lawyer who represents Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde, has announced that he plans to demand a retrial.

"I will point that out in my appeal, then the Court of Appeal (Hovrätten) will decide if the district court decision should be set aside and the case revisited," Althin said on Thursday.

Althin is very critical of the judge's actions in the case and argues that the defence should have had an opportunity to review the circumstances.
