Интересное и поучительное эссе от иллюстратора Алексея Курбатова

Buick Streamliner 1949

Ben Heine, a talented Belgian artist, has created a series of awesome images by combining photographs with pencil drawings. Enjoy!

Some people ingenuity keep shocking me! Alexa Meade paints acrylic on objects, walls and people, creating live installations, which look like painting. You just have to take a look at it… http://www.alexameade.com/

Does anybody know the author? 

Surprisingly for me, Walt Disney and Salvador Dali were good friends and collaborated on some projects, like this animation. You may want to read some description on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destino 

Given the amazing economic state that we’re in, and the fact that you’re certainly one of those lucky recipients of those six-figure holiday bonuses, you’re more than ready to hear the full details behind the “Oculus.” This yacht’s unique shape “is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals.” What does that tell you? It’s not quite [biomimicry], but it does really look at home in the sea.

Designer E. Kevin Schopfer has hell-of details:

Oculus is the first “design launch” of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. This 250-foot vessel was designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer, founder and owner of his namesake company. Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots. The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure. In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness.

Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated. The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas. The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite.

Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities.

For further details about ordering one of these, or of course if you want more details for other reasons, post questions below and I’m sure Mr. Schopfer would be happy to let you know what you want to hear.

Re_FlowerPot.

I think it’s hard to signify the brilliance of this design in one photograph, but it is basically a dual sided, locking pot to hold your flowers in.  When you want to replant, just unlock the pot, and it splits in half, making it super easy to transfer.  Having helped my mom with potting throughout the years, this is one of the most creative ideas I’ve seen of late. Thanks Yanko Design!
