Seen From Space: Google Maps Roof Painting

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.

Congratulations?: Guy Spends 4 Years Drawing Make-Believe World In MS Paint

Youtube user scorpiongold has spent four years drawing his own little fantasy world in Microsoft Paint. Currently the painting is 2.5m x 2.3m and is filled with all kinds of wacky shit. God, could this article get any more eloquent? Just sayin’, you could really learn a thing or two, Shakespeare. No-talent hack . You hear me, Billy? YOU CAN’T TIME THIS SHREW. Youtube Thanks to Jaja, who just drew his own little world in Microsoft Paint in a day and freed up the next 3 years, 364 days for not doing that.

It’s Art!: Princess Peach As The Virgin Mary

It’s Art!: Princess Peach As The Virgin Mary

This is Princess Peach as the Virgin Mary . I love the dichotomy of video game and religion . Granted I have no idea but dichotomy means but I used it to sound smart and because I’m probably the hardest hitting journalist in the industry. It’s true, one time during an interview I called Mike Tyson a little bitch and then knocked all his teeth out. That’s why he talks funny. Plastic teeth. Behold, The Virgin Princess Peach [kotaku] Thanks to harry, who’s taking bets on whether Toadstool looked up Peach’s skirt (and whether she has legs at all).

How Do You Not Bite Them?: Bacon Nails

How Do You Not Bite Them?: Bacon Nails

Geekologie Reader Melissa has taken it upon herself to paint her fingernails in a different style every day for an entire year and blog about it . Today’s theme is bacon, and I’ll be the first to admit I would bite every single one of those fingers clean off. And by ‘clean off’ I mean do you know how hard it is to bite through a finger? Surprisingly easy. Go ahead — put one in my mouth, I DARE DOUBLE DARE PHYSICAL CHALLENGE you. Here, I’ll close my eyes and everything. *zip* Haha, nice try buddy. Hit the jump for a shot of the other cuticles.

Fight: Rainbow Brite Vs. Strawberry Shortcake

Fight: Rainbow Brite Vs. Strawberry Shortcake

This is a piece of handpainted art by Jude Buffum (prints available at his site) showing Rainbow Brite kicking Strawberry Shortcake’s head off Mortal Kombat fatality style . There’s another one of a Carebear (who I suspect is Tenderheart Bear) ripping Teddy Ruxpin’s heart out after the jump. I especially liked that one. Because as many of you may know, Teddy was my first and last robotic lover. Yeah, I caught him trying to kiss my Spike plushie from The Land Before Time . Insight: you have some now. Hit the jump for one more and a Big Lebowski print I liked as well.

Pop Art Paintball: Marilyn In A Minute

Sure this might not be as impressive as creating a paintball Mona Lisa in a split-second , but it’s still pretty neat (skip to 0:40 for the action). And speaking of neat, it’s the only way I drink my bourbon. I don’t need your newfangled ice! Youtube Thanks to Rodrigo, who once paintballed his way out of a wet paper bag. But you had scissors in your hands, bro! You could have saved the ammo. You’ll never survive the zombie apocalypse!

Run Snoopy, Run!: Nightmarish Charlie Brown

Run Snoopy, Run!: Nightmarish Charlie Brown

This is a painting of Charlie Brown by artist Tim O’Brien. Scary, no? I’m sorry if you’re not gonna be able to sleep tonight, but I live by the mantra “if I had to see, so do you”. Sweet dreams! Also, for the hundreds of people who keep sending the “dead body eating robot” tip, I posted it earlier this week . I get depressed as hell when I get the same tip I posted a few days ago. *sniff* Don’t you read regularly? YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME! Tim O’Brien’s Painting of Charlie Brown [agentmlovestacos] Thanks to FDSY, who you can blame for not being able to sleep at night. And not just because he’s hiding under your bed, but he is.

Don’t Mess With Eva And Hugo!

Don’t Mess With Eva And Hugo!

The lovely and stunning Eva Mendes seems like a total sweetheart, but her Belgian Malinois Hugo sure is intimidating! Don't get me wrong, he's a gorgeous pooch, but he definitely gives off that guard dog vibe! Eva was spotted…
