Only In Japan

Another funny compilation of different strange stuff. Now, we'll go to the Land of the Rising Sun.

Bursting Soap Bubbles by Richard Heeks

Have a look at these beautiful images of bubbles taken by photographer Richard Heeks. Here is what he says about his work: “When I get an idea for a photo I then tend to get the blinkers on and try to perfect the shot. Thus, I’ve kind of specialized on soap bubbles, and flying swans are now becoming another sticking point. I think I’d really like to take photos of people though, but I haven’t got around to this yet.”

Woman Shares Her Home with Eleven Big Cats

Sharing your bed with common pets like cats or dogs is so last year. Right now it’s all about big cats, and lots of them.

Riana Van Nieuwenhuizen thought she should do her part in saving cheetahs from extinction, so she bought one back in 2006. The 46-year-old South African left her job at the department of justice and found some temporary employment on a game ranch, where she could raise Fiela.

Now, Riana runs Fiela Funds Cheetah Breeding Project, a non-profit that fights to ensure the survival of cheetahs in their own ecosystem. Along the way, she also took in another 10 big cats, with which she often shares her bed.

Her four cheetahs, five white lions and two tigers are a handful, but Riana loves every one of them and puts up with all their naughtiness. Her 2 dogs have also grown quite fond of the felines and don’t mind snuggling up to them.

Places To Go In Summer 2009

The crisis is still here and summer has already arrived. But summer and crisis are two things incompatible. You wanna go on vacation but now it’s not that easy to afford it. Despite all that, I propose a small compilation of the best places for big holidays in 2009.

LEGO Jesus

A church in Vasteras, Sweden has a 6-foot LEGO statue representing Jesus, watching over the parishioners.

The all-white LEGO Jesus took 30,000 LEGO bricks and roughly 18 months to complete. 40 volunteers worked on the statue, a replica of Bertel Thordvadsen’s “Resurrected Christ” sculpture. This amazing LEGO masterpiece was unveiled on Easter day and many of the children just had to touch it and make sure it’s real.

Although LEGO Jesus is all-white on the outside, many colored bricks are placed on the statue’s inside. Another incredible thing about this thing is that it is not hollow on the inside.

Toys From The Past

A great selection of toys from the 80-90s. Well ads for those toys were a little bit cheesy but still we liked them somehow.

So check out back to the past “vintage” toys that you have to see again!

Log Computer Case

Though it may not be the most environment-friendly pc case out there, the log case is still bad-ass. A crazy modder hollowed a log, made some slots for the pc components and thus created one of the weirdest computers I’ve ever seen.

The Log Computer is fully functional, although it does present some danger in case something overheats. But then again, who gives a damn about safety when you have something as cool as that in your home. It may not be as polished as the Wall-e pc case, but it’s definitely just as interesting.

Apache Helicopter Made Out of Plywood

Jasper Knight is a Sydney based artist who uses plywood, Perspex, cardboard boxes and even old signs for his artwork. The one featured above is a child’s model of an Apache assault helicopter made from plywood. It measures about 6 meters in length, almost half the size of the real helicopter.

Hellboy Xbox 360 Mod

This is one of the "hotter" Xbox 360 case mods around, with Hellboy being the main theme here. Created by Frank Gonzales (who earlier did up the epic Gears of War mod), this Hellboy case mod is absolutely stunning, where some people might actually be fooled into thinking that this was an officially sanctioned special edition version from Microsoft. We all know that hell is hot, and certainly having Hellboy grace the Xbox 360 isn't such a good idea considering how the console is notorious for overheating. Love the shade of red it comes in.

Star Tattoos Gone Wrong

Kimberley Vlaminck, the young Belgian says she went to a tattoo parlor to get three small stars tattooed, but the foreign artist misunderstood her request and left her with 56 stars covering the left side of her face. How could that possibly have happened, you say? Simple, she fell asleep during the procedure and woke up when the artist finished his work.

Now, the guy who tattooed her doesn’t exactly look like the most trustworthy person in the world (he’s the guy in the last photo), but I find it hard to believe someone could fall asleep while getting a tattoo. Nevermind the pain, the noise of the tattoo-gun right next to her left ear would have been enough to keep her awake.

Kimberley says she must have been drugged by Rouslan Toumaniantz, the shop-owner and the guy who executed the tattoo, but he insists the girl specifically asked for 56 stars tattooed on her face. He says the whole scandal started when the 18-year-old went home and showed her family and boyfriend the permanent artwork. They went crazy, so miss Vlaminck returned to the tattoo-shop and accused Toumaniantz of misunderstanding her request.

Now Kimberley Vlaminck is suing Toumanintz for 10,000 pounds, the cost of a laser-procedure to remove his ‘mistake’. Although the tattoo artist maintains that the girl asked for 56 stars, and even brought in a witness to sustain his claim, he agreed to pay half of the procedure costs, just because he doesn’t want an unsatisfied customer.

Kimberley hasn’t accepted his offer yet.

5,000 KM Beard Growth Time Lapse

Christoph Rehage planned to walk about 5,000 km from China to Germany, taking a photo of himself every day for one year—and not shaving once.

You will see in the video that he grew a “mighty long beard” throughout that time. The original goal was to reach Germany from China; however, he did not accomplish his goal on foot. Rehage did walk from Urumqi in the northwest of China to Beijing, which is still a feat, all on its own. Watch the video to his transformation.

Barbie Foot - The Barbie Football Table

Created by French designer Chloe Ruchon and presented at the DMY Design Festival 2009, in Berlin, Barbiefoot combines Barbie dolls and table-football. You could say Ruchon managed to create something that men and women might actually enjoy doing together. While it might not be the world’s biggest football table, Barbiefoot is certainly an interesting concept.

Mark Wagner's Currency Collages

A dollar sure isn't worth much these days...until you cut it up into bits and and get out the glue. Mark Wagner, co-founder and president of The Booklyn Artists Alliance and x-acto master, makes the most of his money. His portfolio of currency collages goes up at Pavel Zoubok Gallery Sept. 4 to Oct. 4. (533 West 23rd Street).

His site is laden with cool collages made from one dollar bills and, this time, there's no laser cutting involved. This extract is from his site:

"The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept. Blade and glue transform it-reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers-striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable... the foreign in the familiar."
