Parts of a failed painting experiment that I shall never work on again, so I might as well post now.

All for one, one for all!
My third tattoo, technically my second literary (if you count my tiny Cthulhu). I have read the Three Musketeers over 20 times and it remains my favorite book. My original design, simplified (mercifully!) and inked by David Oravecz at Aces and Eights in Akron, OH.
The Ghosts of World War II by Sergey Larenkov
Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.

a new series by Chinese artist Zhao Huasen where he presents various bicyclists floating on their invisible bikes. The artist captured hundreds of cyclists around the city then digitally removed the bikes to transform the everyday into something playfully surreal.

Sound Advice Project
A custom bracelet of a sound-wave rendered in 3D “designed” by the waveform of the message it encodes.
#I want to make a ton of these out of movie quotes #I feel like I’m missing the point
no that sounds like a much more worthwhile thing to do

Diversity of Squid
The giant squid may be the biggest, but it’s not the only squid in the sea. Scientists estimate there are about 500 species of squid. Some are surprisingly tiny—only about 2.5 cm (1 in) in length. Others are impressively large. There are three species of giant squid (Architeuthis), the largest of which may grow up to 16 m (50 ft) long. And there are other large squid as well—including one known as the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni). Despite these vast differences in size, all squids share certain features: long, cylindrical bodies, usually with eight arms and two long feeding tentacles; and two fins that help them balance and maneuver as they swim.
