This really detailed work is papercraft made by the Japanese graphic designer Shunichi Makino. For years he has been crafting sci-fi creations out of paper, and in his collection you can find Star Wars characters, the Terminator, Iron Man and others. Makino has also made it possible for everyone to download the patterns in PDFs so that you can cut it and built the models yourself if you want.
The Japanese artist Naoko Ito from New York has made a great piece of art using only a big tree branch and jars. She has cut the branch into several pieces before putting them in the jars and then stacking the jars into the original shape of the branch, so it looks like the branch is growing inside them.
A lot of stadiums around the world have spectacular designs, like the new World Cup 2010 stadiums in South Africa. Stadiums give pride to the countries where they are located. Yet there are some stadiums where architects have failed and there are some very clever adaptations to the surrounding landscape and that makes them kinda weird.
We have all heard about the crop circles and seen them on television, in movies, or maybe in real life, but in Japan you can see rice art on the fields. Every year Japanese farmers are planting rice in different patterns and using different sorts of rice for color. The result is spectacular pictures.
This amazing photos are made by Li Wei from China. His great illusions are made combining performance art and photography. No photoshop techniques are used making this art, only wires, mirrors, acrobatic skills of models and other tricks. “Using a large mirror, three feet square, with a hole in the center large enough to accommodate my head and neck, I place my head through the hole and ‘project’ my image onto various historical and urban environments,” Mr Wei said.
