Pollution Paintings: Beautiful Art Created With Filthy Smog
Pollution and smog in big cities around the world is becoming more and more of a problem with regard to the quality of air that we breathe. I live in a big city, and when I'm here, I don't notice it so much. However, when I escape to the mountains or take a walk outside the city on a nature trail, I ...

This Toothpick Build Took 35 Years To Complete
Time. It's the one thing that we all wish we had more of. I was just listening to the song "Forever Young" by Alphaville, and I must say, as cheesy as the video is, the song is a sure bet to bring the retro back into your life. I guess we all would like to stay young forever. Most likely we have all ...

The Best Way To Parallel Park
I'm a bad driver, and I know it. There, I said it. I suck really badly at it actually. I've hit cars parked in my own driveway several times, and I've had many accidents on the highway. I drive like a granny, and when my friends ask why I drive so slow, I have to explain that I'm trying to be carefu ...

World’s Most Intricate Illustrations Will Blow You Mind
Back in the day when we didn't have wireless land-line phones at home, we were confined to the space around where the phone physically was. It was the cord that actually limited our freedom when someone called us. Usually we had a pile of papers around where the phone was in order to keep our creati ...

NYC: Watch Day Turn Into Night All In One Photograph
New York City is such a beautiful place, especially at night. It's similar to here in Atlanta where the night sky stays bright from all the lights, and there is never a shortage of interesting people and architecture to look at everywhere. A lot of photographers consider New York City to be a place ...

Behold The World’s Largest Hot Wheels Car City
If you are a guy, you totally remember playing with small metal cars when you were a boy. We imagined the most amazing cities, the most horrible car crashes, and the most incredible car races... you name it! It was an alternate world most of us left behind when we grew up. It's really a pity because ...

Yarn Bombing: A Global Graffiti Phenomenon
I've got another trend alert for you today, and this time, it's a form of beautifully artistic vandalism, art or graffiti (whichever description you prefer) called yarn bombing.

Edible City: Shanghai China Recreated In Bakery Sweets
A lot of times people ask me if I have a personal blog. I always just direct them here. Bit Rebels is not a personal blog per se; however, to me it kind of is. The reason I say that is because for both Misty and me, we chronicle our lives here. For example, if I'm hungry, I write about food. If I'm ...

Amazing Micro Photography: The City Of Staples
Not too long ago, Diana wrote about the 100,000 Staple City. It was an amazing feat of engineering, and when viewed from afar, it was utterly mind boggling. Not only must it have taken an incredibly steady hand, but it also must have required immense patience. The pictures of that build are somethin ...

Nighttime In The City: Breath Taking Aerial Photographs
When I think of aerial photography, the only name that really comes to my mind is Cameron Davidson. When you see the examples of his photography below, you'll immediately understand why his client roster reads like a media who's who list.
These are especially some of my favorite shots because the ...

Match Art: The Micro World Of A Matchstick
It seems that "micro" is the new trend when it comes to art in all kinds of formats and styles. I recently wrote an article about the micro builds of a Lego force, but in comparison to some of the amazing micro art that is out there, I would put it quite low on the scale. I think we even wrote an ar ...

Anachronistic City: A Life Without New Technology
I really love advertising. I love it so much that I took the course in college. Advertising has evolved a lot over recent years. When I was in college, most of the stuff we learned was mainly about the traditional forms of ads like television and print medium. Marketers were very focused on thos ...
