This is a painting on a roof as seen in Google Maps. It looks like melted chocolate except it’s really just paint. But I would lick it anyways just to make sure . It was the brainchild of artist Molly Dilworth, who wants to paint shit on the tops of all kinds of buildings so Google Maps looks more like vomit. What ever happened to good old fashioned shlizongs ? Each of Dilworth’s paintings begin with a grid that will be filled in paint-by-numbers style. The composition of each painting is determined by the roof area, and the colors used by the amount and type of discarded paint on hand at the time. Given the nature of her process, the results are certainly unique, with some pieces offering a pixelated image that snaps into focus from a distance, and others forming assorted slurs of color. WHOA WHOA WHOA MOLLY — now wait just a minute! Slurs of color? I was all systems go until the whole racist angle. Not cool, lady, not cool. And you seemed like such a sweet girl in 16 Candles ! Stunning Rooftop Paintings Visible from Satellites [inhabitat] Thanks to Fally, who suggests we all paint our roofs with alien-friendly slogans so they don’t nuke us all when they finally come for good.

This is a video of a guy carving the original Big Daddy prototype out of wood . With a chainsaw. Which brings up an interesting question: how do you carve Subject Delta out of a tree? Shave away everything that doesn’t look like a Big Daddy. HAHA! God I slay me. Youtube Thanks to rick, who once carved a Big Sister out of granite and copped a feel.
Tavis Coburn was recently hired to design the program covers for the British Academy of Film & Television Awards, and made this series of illustrations of the Best Picture nominees . They’re pretty amazing–especially considering the Golden Globes program covers were a crude drawing of breasts photocopied on canary yellow paper. (Thanks to Drawn for pointing these out a week ago, and to Mike for pointing out I’m an idiot who forgot to post these.)

The Ouroborus Domino Machine was created by Karl Lautman and knocks over and picks up dominoes all by itself — with magic! It’s really therapeutic to see. Like watching two children beat each other in the head with plastic bats. But with less cheering and betting. Ouroborus Domino sculpture rebuilds itself [slipperybrick] Thanks to Melissa, who had one of those little Domino Rally cars that set up the blocks for you. That’s called cheating, Melissa. Not as bad as this, but close.
This is a Triforce latte ( liquid courage, power and wisdom ) that deviantARTist Monk Drew made his brother for his birthday. Now I’m not saying a coffee-drink is a pretty weak-ass present, but my brother did get me Carl Sagan’s Cosmos on DVD for Christmas. Just sayin’ — WHAT DID I NOT DESERVE BLU-RAY?! Kidding Frank, I know it’s not available ALTHOUGH I’M CHECKING AMAZON RIGHT NOW JUST TO MAKE SURE. Whew, okay we’re cool. Monk Drew’s DeviantART (with a ton more great latte art) via Triforce Latte - A Drink for a True Hero [albotas] Thanks to Christy, who once drank a Zora latte on the way to work and puked all over the back of the bus.
Following up those artist-created posters for Inglourious Basterds , here’s another from Ibraheem Youssef that gives a wink to the film’s crucial Chun-Li-style “3″ moment. Want more? There are more. There’s a whole Tarantino movie set:

I’ve known about the Triceracopter for awhile because it was available last year, but I didn’t want to tell you about it while I attempted to secure it for myself. Unfortunately even my most threatening phone calls didn’t work, so here it is. Now maybe you can help me steal it. Per old post: Built as a sculpture in 1977 by artist Patricia Renick, it’s now available now for the discerning collector/dinopilot. The Triceracopter is subtitled “Hope for the Obsolescence of War,” and I guess that’s why it’s a dinosaur combined with a military helicopter. You know what I love about the Triceracopter? Unlike most dino-vehicle hybrids, this one won’t scorch your genitals off should you try mounting it from behind. *ahem* I’m looking at you, Velocirocket. Hit the jump for three more shots.
