Andoni Bastarrika - Ultra Realistic Sand Sculptures Of Animals | Artist Creates Amazingly Realistic Sand Sculptures

Andoni Bastarrika, a multi-media artist from Spain’s Basque Country, has been getting a lot of attention for his ultra-realistic animal sculptures made almost exclusively with sand.

Bastarrika has been entertaining beach-goers in his native Basque Country region for almost a decade now, but he only recently garnered international acclaim, after a photo of one of his sand sculptures – a life-size sitting bull – recently went viral on Reddit. People couldn’t stop talking about how lifelike the sculpture looked, from the subtle muscle definition to the hair-like sand detailing on its forehead. Soon photos of other of Bastarrika’s realistic sand animals started circulating on various social media networks.

The Basque artist reportedly started experimenting with sand sculptures in 2010, as a way of entertaining children when going to the beach. The feedback was so positive that he started focusing on this newly discovered art form more, developing his own techniques as he progressed. Before he knew it, he had made a name for himself as a sand sculptor and even supplementing his summer income.

Sharks Fish are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha and are the sister group to the rays.

However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus, as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans.

The earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago. Acanthodians are often referred to as "spiny sharks"; though they are not part of Chondrichthyes proper, they are a paraphyletic assemblage leading to cartilaginous fish as a whole. Since then, sharks have diversified into over 500 species.

Edible Food Art Decorative With Fresh Fruit And Vegetables

Edible Food Art Decorative With Fresh Fruit And Vegetables 

Edible art refers to food created to be art. It is distinguished from Edible Arrangements (which predominantly consist of fruit) because it is usually more elaborate dessert food. A common form of edible art is wedding cakes, but options for artistic confections range far beyond marital celebrations. Cakes made into art include birthday cakes, cakes for baby showers, for graduation celebrations, and many other types of event.

Each piece looks unique, even if created for the same event, because each creator has their own idea in mind when creating their food art. Such pieces of art can be created using a cake base onto which the decorations are placed on, or they can be made purely out of fondant or sugar, while edible, is not created with consumption intended, such as Mexican Calavera

I took an interest in food from a very young age. By twelve, I was already cooking family meals as a way to help my father after a long day of work. The love for food that started at twelve has developed into different activities over time. Providing nutritious homemade meals—predominantly made from fruit and vegetables—is a daily task. "Edible Food Art for Kids," on the other hand, is an outlet to relax after a hard day’s work while making a snack for the family.

Nadezhda Bushuyeva was convinced by her mother that the outside world is in fact a very dangerous place. It is unclear if something had happened to her mother at some point in her life and that’s why she kept her daughter inside all those years or not. It could also just be the remote area of Russia that they live in and possibly it wasn’t safe there.

Nadezhda Bushuyeva had not seen the outside world since she left school 26 years earlier, except for one trip to a clinic in 2006. She was fed on cat food and kept inside until her mother, a retired shop assistant called Tatiana, became ill and required hospital treatment.

Puppy Shaped Cake - Mid-Autumn Festival Cakes in Tradition

Puppy Shaped Cake Mid-Autumn Festival is a Vietnamese tradition | Puppies Cake | Coolest Homemade Dog Cakes 

According to the idea, in the old days, there was always a close relationship between life and the moon: the full moon and crescent moon can interchangeably mean joy and sorrow, reunion, gathering, and a farewell. The full moon is a symbol of reunion, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is also alternatively called the reunion. This is also the occasion to care, show gratitude to parents and friends, to reunite, and love again.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a Vietnamese tradition closely related to the worship of the Moon. So, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to Vietnamese custom, all family members put the feast tray on the altar to worship the moon (pray to heaven and earth). Families gather together, enjoy tea, eat cake, and look at the moon; children dance while singing, walk with the lamp, and dance with the dragon.

Sergio Odeith - Street Artist Paints 3D Creature Arts Graffiti

Sergio Odeith - Street Artist Paints 3D Creature Arts Graffiti | Mind-Bending 3D Art Pieces By Portuguese Graffiti Artist | Amazing 3D Street Art Realistic Graffiti | Amazing 3D Murals That Jump Off The Walls 

Talk about graffiti artists today, and you'll find they have shed some of the street arts old stigmas. The once-rogue street art genre has been welcomed into the traditional art world, and when you look at the fantastic 3D street art of Sergio Odeith, it's easy to see why.

The Portuguese artist started creating realistic art in the '90s when it was first gaining prominence in the country. He started with simple sketches on street walls and train tracks but then advanced into large-scale 3D drawings. Odeith continued to evolve and adopted the obscure signature style, which he refers to as "sombre 3D." This technique combines angles, lines, and shadows to create an extraordinary 3D art effect. In 2005 he gained international recognition for his anamorphic art series and realistic drawings, which looked like something out of a science horror fiction flick, with giant spiders appearing to climb off the walls at helpless passers-by.

Not surprisingly, the Lisbon-based muralist has since been asked to design pieces across the pond in the U.S cities of Baton Rouge, L.A, Charleston and Lexington and has even received business contracts with major corporations like Coca-Cola, Samsung, and Shell.

Hannah Bullen-Ryner Beautiful Birds Composed From Flowers and Leaves

Hannah Bullen-Ryner Beautiful Birds Composed From Flowers and Leaves | The Botanical Bird Art | Artist Uses Leaves And Flowers To Create Mesmerizing Bird Portraits 

Whether we've already discovered them or not, we all have our own ways of finding inner peace. For Hannah Bullen-Ryner, it comes through reconnecting with Mother Earth.

Bullen-Ryner composes beautiful birds using only natural materials found locally and no permanent fixings. Scavenging her surroundings, she puts together flowers, leaves, twigs, and berries to form delicate portraits either on the woodland floor or under one small oak. When she's done, they last only a few moments before nature starts reclaiming them. Luckily, that brief period of time is enough for Hannah to photograph her artworks, or as she calls it, offerings to Mother Nature. Soon after, they get taken by the breeze, rearranged by the rain, or wriggled through by an insect and leave no trace behind.

The artist says she creates to share her love for nature and to soothe her soul, and you can definitely feel it in the photos of her ephemeral pieces.

Bullen-Ryner is both an artist and someone who appreciates nature, having been outdoors her whole life. "Originally a painter and photographer, I have always found art to be cathartic, a way to let it all out, a way to express what couldn't be said "Equally, I have always felt deeply connected to the Earth and to her magic and her ability to soothe a weary soul."

Toonify Turns Yourself Photos Into Pixar Cartoon Characters

Toonify Turns Yourself Photos Into Pixar Cartoon Characters | This Toonify yourself | Justin Pinkney App That Turns People Into Pixar-Like Cartoon Characters Gets The Internet Buzzing 

You've probably heard what crazy stuff AI, machine learning, and deep learning technologies are capable of. Like creating portraits of people who don’t exist, or making a 15th-century Renaissance painting out of your picture, or turning your static single selfie into a living image. Sounds crazy, because it is, but it turns out, this is not all.

Two programmers and AI enthusiasts, Justin Pinkney and Doron Adler, have just created a new mind-bending "toonification" system that basically turns your portrait into a cute cartoon character. Thanks to deep learning, the algorithm fine-tunes the original face and blends it with a cartoon model, keeping the identities the same, but the features cartoonish.

Apparently, their “Toonify” website got so much attention on social media, with people flocking to the website to toonify their selfies, that the costs got out of hand and the team had to temporarily turn off the server.

While they’re working on bringing it back to us, let’s take a look at some of the most amusing cartoon transformations down below so that you'll have time to decide whether to go for Elsa from Frozen, or stick to the Nemo makeover.

Pareidolia - Seeing Faces in Inanimate Objects | Everyday Things

Pareidolia - Seeing Faces in Inanimate Objects | Faces Everywhere We Look | The Fascinating Science Behind Why We See 'Faces' In Objects | Seeing Faces in Unusual Places 

Pareidolia is the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music. Pareidolia can be considered a subcategory of apophenia.

Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, the Man in the Moon, the Moon rabbit, and other lunar pareidolia. The concept of pareidolia may extend to include hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing indistinct voices in random noise such as that produced by air conditioners or fans.

Pareidolia was at one time considered a symptom of human psychosis, but it is now seen as a normal human tendency.

Pareidolia is not confined to humans. Scientists have for years taught computers to use visual clues to "see" faces and other images.

Surprising Facts About Moon | Interesting Moon Facts For Kids

Surprising Facts About Moon | Interesting Moon Facts For Kids 

The Moon is an astronomical body orbiting Earth and is the planet's only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System, and by far the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits. The Moon is, after Jupiter's satellite Io, the second-densest satellite in the Solar System among those whose densities are known.

The Moon is thought to have formed about 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth. The most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a hypothetical Mars-sized body called Theia. New research of Moon rocks, although not rejecting the Theia hypothesis, suggests that the Moon may be older than previously thought.

Norilsk Railway in Russia - Most Isolated Places in the World | Norilsk Railway Amid Cold and Darkness Dead Railroad in Russia | Norilsk Railway is a Single-Track Railway, formerly the Northernmost Part of Russia. 

The railway is in northern Krasnoyarsk Krai, southern Taimyr Peninsula and connects the mining towns Talnakh, Norilsk and Kayerkan with the port Dudinka on the Yenisei. The railway line has a 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) Russian gauge, and was partially constructed by the prisoners of Norillag. Originally, it was 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) narrow gauge, 114 km long, and built in 1936. Later, in 1953, it was rebuilt to Russian broad gauge and expanded to 231 km of track.

In the 1990s, the railway was in serious decline. In 1998 the electric catenary was removed and the electric rolling stock sold off. Diesel locomotives haul freight trains since then, passenger service on the railway was discontinued.

Jane Gottlieb - Color Obsessed Artist Turn Into Rainbow House

Jane Gottlieb - Color Obsessed Artist Turn Into Rainbow House | Owner turns 'boring' beige homes into rainbow House 

Jane Gottlieb's turned her boring sea-view home in Santa Barbara, California into a work of art but says 'nobody in the neighbourhood really likes it because they all have these beige Mediterranean houses' A colour-obsessed artist who transformed her "beige and boring" mansion into a rainbow oasis spends £4,000 a year on painting the colourful house inside and out - despite admitting her neighbours disapprove.

Jane Gottlieb, 70, spent two months transforming the detached sea-view home in Santa Barbara, California, from run-of-the-mill to a "piece of art", featuring nine different colours on it's exterior alone, and dozens more inside.

But maintaining the bright abode is a costly task, with a $5,000 (£4,085) paint job needed once a year to stop the colours from fading in the harsh sunlight - resulting in the house becoming even bolder each time a new lick of paint is added.

Renowned artist Jane, who has showcased her work all over the world, said her four-bedroom home leaves visitors stunned and smiling, with passers-by dubbing it the "rainbow house''.

I Create Wearable Artistic Scarfs Inspired By Owls, Ravens, Swans, And Other Majestic Birds I dream so often that I can fly that I have moments where I’m not quite sure if my flying skills are a fantasy or a fact. In one memorable dream, I was The Goddess of Colour, flying over a landscape of kaleidoscope hues. I felt lost until a voice whispered, “Purple is the way home.” As I flew over fields of lavender, I transformed into a Raven.

In another dream, I became The Guardian of the Gateway. I held a staff while wearing a cloak of gold, fashioned into feathers. I sailed through the galaxy on a galleon ship carried by seven white, sea snake dragons. I was part human, part Barn Owl. Driven to capture, record, and share my wild encounters and dream time experiences, I explored ideas on canvas merging human form and bird. These flat pieces were lifeless, static, and detached from the viewer.

People In The Streets Of Rio de Janeiro During Brazil Carnival

People In The Streets Of Rio de Janeiro During Brazil Carnival 

The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is a festival held every year before Lent and considered the biggest carnival in the world with two million people per day on the streets. The first Carnival festival in Rio occurred in 1723.

For years now, I have been photographing people during the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Despite what most people know, the best part of Carnival is not the samba schools, but the street blocks where people put on costumes and makeup, and party all day long.

Being a participant of the Carnival in the street blocks for over 20 years, I created a project called Humanos do Carnaval (Humans of Carnival), and for 5 years, I have been taking portraits. Hope you enjoy them!

Dwarf Couple - Charli Worgan and Cullen Became Dwarfism Family

Dwarf Couple - Charli Worgan and Cullen Adams Became Dwarfism Family share their lives with the world | Family Of 3 Who All Have Dwarfism Become Internet Sensation 

This tiny family has gone viral online thanks to their heartwarming photos shared online. Charli Worgan, 27, is 1.3 meters tall and her husband Cullen Adams is 1.4 meters tall. After getting married, they welcomed their first child, Tilba. Whether it's beach trips, lunches in the sun, workouts or walks, the pictures show this family is like everyone else. Charli is currently pregnant with her second child.

She has achondroplasia, which is the most common type. He has geleophysic dysplasia, a much rarer form that comes with many more health concerns. Because they each have different forms of dwarfism, Charli and Cullen’s offspring have a one-in-four chance of having a baby of average height; a baby having either type of dwarfism; or a baby with both forms of dwarfism, which could, unfortunately, be fatal.
