Pac Man Wedding Cake? Yeah!!
I love that grooms' cakes can be a way to interject a little fun into wedding receptions, especially when they perfectly capture a groom's personality. This Pac Mac groom's cake from The Domestic Scientist is a perfect example. Complete with a keepsake Sculpey topper, it was a huge hit with the groom. Read more about how and why it was made over on The Domestic Scientist blog.

B VICIOUS!
I really dig this girl. She's 24 and based out of LA. She just started taking photos not to long ago, but as you can see she's really easy to look at. :-) If you would like to follow what she's doing check out her Twitter. (@b-vicious) Photo was taken by Volve Photography

Kiki Valdes - Oil, acyrlic on canvas.
I found this photo of this painting I did a few years ago. It was a painting I was working on then I started layering it with older paintings and ideas I never finished, basically in some ways I resolved this painting with previous ideas from other works and studies.

eco-surrealism and dystopian folktales that express a concern for our time and the Earth's future.-

The Movie "They Live"-1988
If you wear this pair of sunglasses, you will wake up to the fact that aliens have taken over the earth.
They Live is a 1988 science fiction/horror film directed by John Carpenter. Part science fiction horror and part dark comedy. the film echoed contemporary fears of a declining economy, within a culture of greed and conspicuous consumption common among Americans. In They Live, the ruling class within the moneyed elite are in fact aliens managing human social affairs through the use of a signal on top of the TV broadcast that is concealing their appearance and subliminal messages in mass media.- wiki

University of Utah scientists discovered that air flows in one direction as it loops through the lungs of alligators, just as it does in birds. The study suggests this breathing method may have helped the dinosaurs’ ancestors dominate Earth after the planet’s worst mass extinction 251 million years ago. Via: Science Daily

Alfred Rudolph Waud emigrated to the United States from England as an illustrator in 1850. Waud was one of a number of sketch artists working during the Civil War, providing depictions of battles and scenes that photographic equipment was still too new to capture.
Waud was with the Army of the Potomac for the duration of the Battle of Gettysburg, and a number of his sketches survive. Most of a sketch artist’s work would not make it to publication. The sketch usually provided the basis for a more elaborate engraving that would appear in print. Waud’s “Death of Reynolds” sketch is depicted here, with Reynold’s falling backwards off his horse, hat coming off his head. Keep reading article

Would you pay over $16,000 for
CHERRY PIE?
The 38th Annual Cherry Pie Auction was again a record setting event according to David Withers of the City of Brownwood Parks and Recreation Department.
“Last year we set a new record at $15,590.00, this year we set a new record at $16,382.00,” Withers said.
The Cherry Pie Auction was held Saturday, from 9:00am-12:00 noon at the Adams Street Community Center. According to Withers, there were over 126 auction items donated by businesses and individuals. Several hundred people were estimated to have visited the Cherry Pie Auction this year. Good people, but crazy people for some good ol' cherry pie. That must be some good ass cherry pie, or people in this town really want to help out or must be really fuckin' bored. Cheers to them!
Who remembers the Cherry Pie girl from that Warrant music video?

The revolution of the records create drawings that serve as a markers of temporality. The drawings also speak to the idea of the editionable print through their ability to be replicated using domestic materials.
Drawing Apparatus from Robert Howsare on Vimeo.
Designer/artist Robert Howsare has discovered a new drawing tool. It would be interesting to see him develop more drawngs by other musical or domestic materials. Make sure to check out the video at the bottom of this post. It's hypnotizing!
