Transparent Frog

"The see-through skin of the inch-long glass frog reveals her eggs. Native to Venezuela, the frog lays her eggs in bushes and trees overhanging streams. The tadpoles hatch and will tumble out of the foliage and are swept away with the current."

Minas Tirith Matchstick Model from Lord of the Rings

Patrick Acton is an artist from Iowa who uses wooden matchsticks to create his incredible works of art. His works has been featured on ABC’s Extreme, Makeouver, Home Edition, Home and Garden TV as well as magazines such as Highlights for Children, Reminisce, AAA Travel Wood, The Iowan and others.

A couple of years ago, Iowa artist Patrick Acton built a model of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School completely out of matchsticks. His latest matchstick project is even bigger. He’s building a model of the fortress Minas Tirith from the Lord of the Rings trilogy! Acton expects the model to be completed in 2009.

Elephants are Better Artists Than Humans

These elephants made me gasp in awe. Just watch the video. I'm not talking about random elephant-created squiggles and splodges of paint on a canvas; I'm talking about serious elephant-created illustrations better than your kid can paint! Frikkin amazing! Watch it!!!

Dragon Bar R.I.P.

The Dragon Bar. A haven for graffiti writers for many many years. At least two generations of writers/streetartists have been drunk there and scribbled all over the walls. However, 4 weeks ago, the venue was torn down and will soon be turned into yet another group of non-descript "modern apartments". It was where I met many of my current friends 6 years ago and we will all miss it! A sad sad day is now upon us....




See more pics and more juicy details of what was left at the Dragon Bar site HERE.

p.s. a great post on the Graffoto blog....
