This street mural by Ben Slow and Ma o Shishu was recently completed on the streets of London. The piece is a beautiful illustration about human nature, and the intimate relationship between a mother and her child.…

Move over Megan Fox and Armani! In quite possibly the steamiest and sexiest ad campaign for underwear on the internet, photographer Henrik Adamsen shoots model Sarah Grünewald for Forrest & Bob Underwear. In beautiful, colored lighting, Sarah slowly and seductively undresses for her partner's voyeuristic pleasures.

Music is one of the most influential mediums in our lives. We listen to certain musicians or bands because they write songs that convey how we feel, or they inspire us to live our lives in a certain way.



These music philosophy pieces were created by Mico. "I like music and typography, so I combined them on this project," he says.…

Tell me if I took a little too much Nyquil last night because I feel like I'm hallucinating here. Did McDonalds and their creative agency DDB Sydney really create an adult-sized playland? More than three stories high and taking up the entire forecourt of Customs House at Sydney's Circular Quay, the Playland was constructed by Gregsets, who's worked on incredible…

Earth Hour 2010 took place a few days ago. The Big Picture has this awesome series of before-and-after photographs which fade between "on" and "off" when clicked.



Beginning in Sydney, Australia three years ago, Earth Hour has grown into a global observance. States, large organizations and individual people observed Earth Hour 2010 on Saturday March 27th, as homes, office towers and…

Designed by Plús Arkitektar, Iceland Pavilion looks like it's going to be one of the stand-out structures at the upcoming 2010 Shanghai World Expo. Arkitektar's concept was to create the image of an ice cube. The exterior is made out of back-lit printed fabric which captures complex ice patterns that are only visible within a glacier.



Inside the Pavilion, a…

I'm really blown away by these close up photos of insects covered in morning dew. Amateur photographer Miroslaw Swietek travels into the forest in the middle of the night and finds the bugs using a torch and sets up his camera and flash right next to them. Mr. Swietek has only taken up photography two and half years ago. Found at…

Street art collective Luzinterruptus is upset about the lack of green space in urban areas and the fact that we are being forced to compensate with vertical gardens. To illustrate his point, the Madrid-based group lit up leaves and branches in 110 transparent food packaging containers on an ugly, neglected city wall.



One of the problems of vertical gardens is the lack of…

Just how do you visualize an idea getting destroyed? If you are artist Scott Campbell, you create an interesting series of paintings where you draw upon stories we're all familiar with. While I'm sure those at the creative agencies will appreciate these the most, who hasn't felt frustrated over an idea that never came to fruition?



"These are some of the…

Ever find yourself a little sleepy at work? Just drink a little coffee and bring out the genius inside of you! That's essentially the message behind this creative ad campaign by F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi, Brazil. To illustrate their message, they've created hilarious hairstyles on professionals to make it look like they're still awake and working.…

I first became a fan of photographer Jay Van Dam's work through his creative Revelation series. Flipping through his website, I caught myself laughing out loud at his Myself and I set. Did Van Dam want us to imagine ourselves with a twin? Or was there something much deeper? The…

Would you ever dump something as gross as goop onto your head, and later take a snapshot of your reaction to it? After taking a look at Meg Watcher's collection, I'm having second thoughts, cause these look super fun, and cringeworthy; especially with your friends who wouldn't mind getting their hands(or should I say heads) dirty!



“[It] was purely for fun and self-promotion of my work, I was interested in…

With springtime now upon us, I just had to share these stunning photos by Corrie Bond for Marie Claire Australia's March 2010 edition. Titled "Purple Reign," the editorial shows us just how glamorous daily life can be.…
