Robert The is an artist that transforms ordinary books into funny shapes by cutting them. The shapes are everything from lobsters and scorpions to guns and cakes. They are still books but the content is unreadable, so they function only as art, or more precisely modern art.

Robert The, that is also a mathematician, has made these bizarre creations for many years, and you can see his works in several private collections in modern museums.

Books have been used by many other artists, like Mike Stilkey; he is using the spines of stacked books to create beautiful art.

John Lytle Wilson has his own way of creating modern art. He uses random paintings with simple nature motive and includes robots and animals so it would appear more interesting and alive. If you take a closer look at the paintings you will notice that most of them have orange monkeys escaping from robots.

The motives give the paintings a lot of bright color and energy, and perhaps you will find Lytle’s art mostly in apartments where young people or students live.

While he is making random paintings of nature more interesting, this street artist is making paths and roads in Montreal more alive.

The 69 years-old granny, Ruth Flowers, is not like any other granny. She is a famous DJ in both festivals and nightclubs in France, especially in Paris and Cannes, and is definitely the center of the party with her shiny and cool outfit.

Ruth thinks that being different appeals to younger people, and that’s why she is liked all over France. When people ask her if she has any retire plans coming up, she answers with a smile: “Why retire? If you got the energy, and the enthusiasm, and the love of music, why stop? As long as I can keep going, I will.” Beside her gigs Ruth is working at the studio on a single that is going to be released during this spring.

Ruth is not the only one that shows the world how age is no barrier; these guys are almost 100 years old but still competing at athletics.
