Amazing Library
Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (Laurentian Library) Florence, Italy. Commissioned in 1523, construction startedin 1525 and was finishedby 1571. Michelangelo left in 1534 due to falling out of favor with the Medici family. The designs were carried about by Tribolo, Basari and Ammannati with instructions from Michelangelo. The Laurentian Library was a unique challenge for Michelangelo as the parameters for the building were constrained to the exisiting structure and urban landscape of the Basillica di San Lorenzo di Firenze. Originally the library was just the vestibule and reading room but in the first half of the 19th century the Rotunda Tribuna D'Elci was added in order to house a book cllection of the world renowned bibliophile and scholar Angelo Maria D'Elci (1754-1824). While this library holds a very important collection of rare works it is also considered to be a pivotal point in the evolution of architectural theory, there was before the Laurentian Library and then there was after. Michelangelo's designs were a big departure from the of the classical aesthetic established by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (c. 85 - c.20 bc), better known as Vitruvius. Georgio Vasari (from the "life of Michelangelo" in lives of the Most Eminent Italian Architects, painters ad Sculptors [1550,1568]) states.
Amazing Easter Eggs
Artist Jacek Yerka has created an art out of making incredible pierced egg designs. They are so intricate and so delicate that they look like lace.
I'm not sure I could ever have the patience to create anything this beautiful, but I am looking forward to painting some good old Easter Eggs this weekend.
Buddha Shaped Pears
Gao has been working on his pear-growing technique for six years and this season he managed to grow 10,000 Buddha-shaped baby pears. Each fruit is grown in an intricate Buddha mold and ends up looking like a juicy figurine. The ingenious farmer says the locals in his home village of Hexia, norther China, have been buying his Buddha pears as soon as he picks them from the trees. Most of them think they are cute and that they bring good luck. Hao Xianzhang owns an orchard in northern Hebei province of China, and is growing these holy Buddha shaped pears by attaching baby-Buddha shaped fiberglass and plastic molds to the young pears for about six months.
The farmer spent nearly six years this way, perfecting the shape of baby pears, crafting and growing each one carefully inside an individual mold. The video on right is a ABC News report of these Buddha shaped pears growing in the orchard of Hao Xianzhang. The video footage also shows a supermarket shop assistant eating the Buddha shaped pears and checking its genuineness for ordering.It is interesting to note that in the year 2009, Hao sold almost all the 18,000 pears that he has cultivated for a hefty price of 50 Yuan ($7) a piece. Hao also received orders for about 70,000- 80,000 pieces of this Buddha shaped fruit for the year 2010. Despite a hefty cost of £5 each at present, the locals in Hebia have been buying these holy Buddha shaped pears, considering it as a good luck fortune. Lately, the farmer is also planning to export this novel idea to the UK.
Matchstick Art
Based on the movie version of the castle, artist Patrick "The Matchmaker" Acton spent nearly three years building his own model of the infamous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The magnificent model was on display at the Matchstick Marvels Museum in Glad brook, IA until 2006, when it was moved to Majorca, Spain to commemorate the opening of "The House of Katmandu."
Acton has built around 60 matchstick models since 1977, but Hogwarts is by far his largest, containing over 602,000 sticks held together with 15 gallons of wood glue! His other creations include the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek, the United States Capitol building, and the city Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings.

Street Art by DALeast
Chinese-born DALeast lives in South Africa but spends six months of the year travelling and has tagged walls on nearly every continent.His unusual paintings, which are sometimes hundreds of feet across, can look 3D and as if they are created out of thousands of tiny metal shards, but in fact they have been spray-painted onto a flat surface.
With his trademark style of painting creatures and other things as though they are made up of hundreds of twisted metal shards, DALeast has launched himself onto the international street art like one of his animals launching at its prey.These huge paintings are the work of a secretive graffiti artist who travels the world tagging walls, often painting his quirky pieces in a hurry to avoid arrest.

Charles Jencks Landscaping
Charles Alexander Jencks (born 21 June 1939) is an American architectural theorist, landscape architect and designer.His books on the history and criticism of modernism and postmodernism are widely read in architectural circles.
One of Jencks’ celebrated design is The Garden of Cosmic Speculation in Scotland, designed in 1988 and dedicated to Jencks' late wife. The garden is inspired by science and mathematics, with sculptures and landscaping on these themes, such as Black Holes and Fractals. The garden is not abundant with plants, but sets mathematical formulae and scientific phenomenae in a setting which elegantly combines natural features and artificial symmetry and curves.

Jencks has become a leading figure in British landscape architecture. His landscape work is inspired by fractals, genetics, chaos theory, waves and solitons. In Edinburgh, Scotland, he designed the landform at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in collaboration with Terry Farrell and Duncan Whatmore of Terry Farrell and Partners
Realistic Wooden Sculpture
Each sculpture is hand carved from a single block of Vermont white pine and hand painted with ink and acrylic. No glue is used.There are no preliminary drawings.Carving a piece of wood into a bunch of newspapers, or books is hard enough, but using trompe l'oeil painting techniques, Randall Rosenthal manages to make his works look just like the real thing.
His "Lunch Money" sculpture, representing stacks of hundred dollar bills in a corrugated cardboard box took six weeks to carve and another six to finish painting. Art lovers had to pay $25,000 to get their hand on that kind of wooden cash.

Carl Warner's Food Art
London-based photographer Carl Warner uses bits and pieces of food to create incredibly realistic and intricate scenes.The ‘Foodscapes’ are created in Carl’s London studio where they are built on top of a large purpose built triangular table top.The scenes are photographed in layers from foreground to background and sky as the process is very time onsuming and so the food quickly wilts under the lights.Each element is then put together in post production to achieve the final image.
Once the drawing is agreed upon, Carl then works out what each part of the scene will be made from, and working with his food stylist they together determine the best ingredients to work with in order to achieve his aims.
Most Realistic Paintings
Picture 1: Observation
Simon Hennessey is a Birmingham, UK based artist who paints realistic images of famous landmarks around the world. You can see his paintings as a photographic representation of reality. Like most hyper-realistic painters,Hennessey’s process starts with the camera. But instead of simply copying the photographs,his process of adding or removing detail, altering depth, adding textures, form and colour values and their relationship with in the painting,allows him to create an illusion of a reality not seen in any photographic source.
Picture:3 The duality of Lord
Simon Hennessey takes an almost forensic approach to constructing his paintings.
Structures by Leandro Erlich
Picture 1:The Furniture Lift – The Ultimate Moving Out.
This large-scale piece, called “Monte-meubles – L’ultime déménagement” (literally - The Furniture Lift – The Ultimate Moving Out), was created for the biannual Le Voyage a Nantes, an art festival which turns the entire French city into an art gallery.
The floating room is accessible via a ladder. The gravity defying surreal installation is the work of Argentinean artist Leandro Erlich.
Picture 2: The Fake Swimming Pool.
In one of the courtyards of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is a swimming pool framed by a limestone deck. When seen from the deck, the pool appears to be filled with deep, shimmering water. In fact, however, a layer of water only some 10 centimeters deep is suspended over transparent glass. Below the glass is an empty space with aquamarine walls that viewers can enter.
Picture 3: A Giant Mirrored Building.
Leandro Erlich is an architect of the uncertain, Erlich creates spaces with fluid and unstable boundaries. Before one tries to make sense of his sculptures and installations, one senses the uncanny.
Sculptures made with paper
People too is the russian based agency famous for making brilliant paper sculpture.This agency is run by two talented artist Lena Erlikh and Aleksey Lyapunov. Hailing from Novosibirsk, the magnificent duo has been creating incredibly detailed sculptures produced out of paper depicting scenes from everyday life. Some of their work is commissioned by various agencies. Recently, they were hired by a non- governmental
organization named Amnesty International for an advertising campaign “Fan
the flame”. This Campaign was focused on human rights.
Look out some of their amazing creativity with paper.
Amazing Roach Paper Art
Bob Marley, 16″ x 20″. All copyrights and reproduction rights remain with the artist
At first glance,
they're just iconic head shots of famous people you've seen many times
before; only the tones of golden brown make them vaguely remarkable.
Allow your eyes
to move from the bigger picture and focus on the finer detail of the
portraits, and the secret of their creation lights up in the mind:
they're all mosaics – made out of the roach papers of smoked joints.
Tune in for “Recycling on a Higher Level.”
This is Chronic
Art, the hand-crafted, cannabis-inspired brainchild of Pittsburgh-based
artist and pot smoker Cliff Maynard. A tattoo artist by trade, the
38-year-old former art student dreamed up the idea for his unique choice
of medium while “studying mosaics in school.” “I just remember sort of
making this connection in my head between the tiles and roach papers,”
he recalls. But if Maynard took his cue from the mosaic masterpieces of
art history, the more popular aesthetic principles of his tattoo art
background also show up in his work in a less than hazy way.
The inventive
aspect of Maynard's pieces has captured the imagination of many, but
there is also meticulous method and craft behind the reefer madness.
With skilled attention to detail and a tattoo artist's steady hand, he
slices the already small roach papers into more intricate shapes, before
slowly assembling them to create the likeness of each celebrated
figure. Lighter and darker toned roaches form the well-known features
and provide light and shade – and you can only wonder at how many joints
were smoked to fill up the artist's palette. Make that ashtray.
