Designer Justin Harder of Harder Studios has created the world’s first pixelated motorcycle. Not exactly a Harley-Davidson, but it will probably attract the same amount of attention.

He used painted wood to create the body of the motorcycle and then attached it to a couple of wheels. But that’s not all; he also created accessories, like a pixelated wooden motorcycle helmet.

This motorcyle is essentially a real-life dirtbike from the classic Nintendo game ExciteBike. So, if you ever had the urge to play that game on an actual street, outside of the confines of a virtual world, now’s your chance. Give Justin Harder a call.

All Harder has to do next is build a pixelated stadium as well as several other pixelated bikes to recreate the game in full. Given enough time, perhaps this can become a reality.

Harder isn’t the only one making 8-bit objects; these guys made a large 8-bit costume for a Toshiba commercial.

Worth1000 recently had a design contest to showcase the best minimalist movie posters. Submissions included famous movies such as Terminator, Titanic and Hairspray.

The entries are beautifully designed with minimalistic and abstract shapes, showing how less can be more. This style gives the posters a tasteful and modern appearance. Who knows, maybe this kind of movie poster design will be a trend in the future?

One could even argue that the design of some of these posters is superior to the original.  Could these truly be a future trend in the entertainment world? Well, everyone thought Dippin’ Dots “trend of the future” ice cream was going to catch on, but it never did. But I have a hunch that, as more and more artists emulate the Apple approach to minimalism in advertising, this poster style will be adopted more and eventually permeate through all of Hollywood and perhaps Bollywood.

Do you think some of these posters are better than the original? If movie studios get wind of how popular these posters are, we could effect real change in the entertainment industry.  The kind of change money can’t buy.  The kind of change that can only be brought about by mobilizing the masses toward a singular goal: the revolution of movie poster art everywhere.

Just some food for thought. Check out this 2 minutes-video which features 35 movies in a similar minimalistic way.

Feel like doing some deep scuba diving without visiting an ocean? Then go take a trip to Nemo 33, the deepest pool in the world.

Located in Brussels, this swimming pool is perfect for learning how to dive or for fine-tuning your skills before you hit the deep ocean. It’s 105 feet (33 meters) deep with 2.5 million liters of chlorine-free warm water. But the pool isn’t just used for practice; it’s also a tourist attraction. Everyone is welcome to test dive with instructors who will provide training if you are a beginner.

The pool was created by Belgium civil engineer John Beernaerts 13 years ago.  He was sitting in a Belgium bar one day with a pen and a napkin and just started drawing. What he eventually sketched amazed even him. He envisioned a giant indoor diving complex, full of underwater tunnels and chambers. An almost byzantine maze was what Beernaerts had in mind, and that’s essentially what Nemo 33 is.  The type of pool you can get lost in if you’re not careful.

Why is the water in the pool 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees F)?  Well,  John’s vision was to create an environment that would mimic deep-sea diving in the Caribbean.  He felt that type of an experience would be the kind that locals and tourists would enjoy the most, and given the number of people who have turned out to swim in or tour his facility since its inception, he seems to have guessed correctly.

Since 2004, over 100,000 divers have visited Nemo.  So, far, they all have come back alive.  No sharks or terrifying octopuses to contend with in these waters.  No stingrays to pinch you as you explore deep sea passageways.  No jellyfish to make you squeal as you try to make your way back to shore. No, what Mr. Beernaerts built in Brussels is nothing short of a scuba utopia. It’s one of the most unique tourist attractions in the world, and truth be told, if you’re a scuba fan, you’ll probably want to give Nemo a taste test before you die.

Other pools in the world that are out of the ordinary contain interesting 3D effects.

We have all heard about New York Fashion Week, but what about the New York Cat Fashion Show? It’s a posh show that takes places in the lobby of Algonguin Hotel, and the participants are different kinds of cats dressed up in Haute Couture outfits.

The whole ceremony is rather odd with dressed-up cats parading around in front of their owners, but it still can be amusing, especially if you’re a cat lover. Speaking of cats, check out these photo montages of kittens and other pets transformed into famous people.

At first glance it looks like they’re putting real guns in their mouths, but in real life they are eating edible ice guns.

They all have different kinds of flavors–cola, cherry, licorice and black currant. They are an addition to the first 50 tinted ice guns that Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth made and placed in downtown Frankfurt a few years ago.

These edible eatables where exhibited at an art show called “Freeze Revisited”, and their existence certainly shocked a lot of people.

Several other artists have used weapons as their inspiration, like these fashionable guns and rifles made for artistic purposes.
