The bulk of the photos on Instagram feature clouds and sunsets. I should know, I take most of them. And outside of the random dog pictures, or the barely-legal girls taking photos of themselves in the mirror while giving the duckface, it’s hard to find exceptional and consistently great photographers on Instagram. But there is one.
His name is ScienceHill_360 (or Brother Bill as we’ve always known him).
Incidentally, he happens to be the brother of our favorite former co-writer Miss Cellania and he is one talented instagramologist. He even took the time to teach Baierman and me some tricks about taking better photos and tricks for using the largest mobile social network. So, if you’re on Instagram and you want someone excellent to follow (outside of Baierman and myself) check out ScienceHill_360. Your rods and cones will thank you.
They’re delicious, sweet, and filled with marshmallowy goodness.
They’re Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats. And, as it turns out, they’re easy to mold and sculpt.
Just see here.

You know those scribblings your 4 year-old made on that torn piece of paper that you insisted on hanging on your fridge? Have you ever stopped to think what those might look like if they were painted more realistically? Dave DeVries did and now sends them through his Monster Engine to create realistically painted images of children’s drawings.
Find this and other cool illustration and art on Elisa Sassi’s site.
Way cool. I hope she makes this a t-shirt or some beer coasters.
And yes, I am a ray of fucking sunshine. What’s it to you punk?

I’m no artist. No… I won’t hear it. Don’t say I am. Don’t you dare say it. Just because a man can craft a fart joke like no other or take pictures of himself doing bad things to his girlfriend’s apartment does not make him an artist or a genius or worthy of a Nobel prize. I do, however, respect artists. So when the clean-shaven folks at Edge Shaving Gel invited me down to SoHo to check out an awesome wallscape by Pratt Institute of Art student Anthony Morton, I was excited to have a look.
The wall, on the corner of Prince and Mulberry Streets in Manhattan, features an original work of art designed specifically by Morton for the campaign. This also happened to be the first major public showing of his original designs. The 30 by 16 foot piece, entitled, “Create the Life You Live, is a self-portrait depicting the artist’s journey toward the “Edge of Greatness.” And it was truly impressive. It’s the type of art you can stare at for hours and realize new elements of depth and detail that weren’t apparent on first glance.
