As an Asian person, I love eating rice. Rice is a staple in our diet. To me, even if the viand is not very tasty, as long as the rice is perfectly cooked, I am happy. But since moving to the States, I rarely get to eat rice. Instead, I usually have a sandwich for lunch and sometimes for dinner. I do ...

Star Wars Steampunk Figurines: The New Breed

I touched on this very subject once before when I wrote about how Star Wars would have looked back in 1942. The article was widely popular, and Star Wars fans took in the new breed of Star Wars characters like it was a whole new universe. The creator of this awesome take on the movies, Sillof, has f ...

Ultimate Showdown: Web Designer vs. Web Developer [Infographic]

Everyone that's involved in website design and developing knows that there are two very different jobs involved with it.  First, we have the more artful side of it which is the web design itself.  The designer is in charge of the look and features of the site.  However, when it comes to taking care ...

Immaterial: Converting WiFi Strength To Urban Photography

There is a new art form emerging, and it has everything to do with technology. Previously we were used to art being created using brushes, pencils and paint, but that landscape is changing.

There are so many styles of painting that are popular now. We've written dozens of articles about different techniques; however, this is one I haven't seen before. When I watch this, it kinda puts me in a trance.  When you think about it, it seems like such an obvious thing to try with paint. T ...

Hmm... These are very unusual. I can't decide if it's brilliant art or the work of someone with a serious case of OCD. They kind of look like big balls of fuzz to me, like something that might come out of my dryer stuck in the lint trap. I was surprised to find out that there is much more going ...

Gaming Art: Beer Bottle Cap Game Characters

As we have stated before, art can come in a myriad of forms, sizes and shapes and none of them are right or wrong.  It's quite interesting to know that almost half of all the art created with games as the inspiration comes from the early 80s and the Nintendo era.  Those 8-bit characters truly have b ...

Soaphenge: The Cleaner Version Of Stonehenge

So where does art begin and end? That's a monumental question, and as I ask it out loud to myself, I am not sure it is to be answered, at least not by me. I appreciate art in all its forms and sizes, so much so that I regularly visit exhibitions and art galleries around Stockholm whenever I get a ...
Old Skateboards Become Magnificent Peruvian Art!

Old Skateboards Become Magnificent Peruvian Art!

Sometimes I wish I had continued riding that second-hand skateboard of mine when I was a bit younger. Maybe I could have become the Tony Hawk of geeks or something. I hardly doubt it, but it would have been fun to do a 360 just to impress the girls. Now, instead, I am flaunting my geekiness with ...
