Hyperrealistic Sculptures by Jamie Salmon (6 pics)

Don't be fooled, realistic as he is, he is not real.

" I like to use the human form as a way of exploring the nature of what we consider to be "real" and how we react when our visual perceptions of this reality are challenged. In our modern society we have become obsessed with our outward appearance, and now with modern technology we are able to alter this in almost anyway we desire. How does this outward change affect us and how we are…

The New Modern Man is Dressed in Tom Ford

What does the new modern man look like and how does he dress? If I had it my way, he would dress like Jon Kortajarena, here for Tom Ford. New modern luxury looks like this. Sure the glasses are a bit geeky but the style is just right. Mix and match patterns, add texture to your suits, make it unexpected, give us a show. Be daring, be different, and most of all be…

From a Lone Man to a Movement



I've seen this video float around the web for some time now but only today did I truly come to appreciate it. This one lone fella just starts shaking it like no one's business and then suddenly others started to join him. One, two, three..and then a massive crowd followed.



Here's what Seth Godin had to say about it.



My favorite part happens just before the first minute mark. That’s when guy #3 joins the group. Before him, it was just a crazy… Continue

Is it Life or Just a Play? Draw "In"s by themanwhofellasleep





By themanwhofellasleep.



In his own words:

"The pictures are simple enough: the people in the photos have been digitally removed and replaced with drawings. Yeah, I know: anyone can trace a drawing. But so what?

Scent of a Caveman: Lynx Deodorant Ad (video)



A darling "advert" a.k.a. commercial with aK accent for Lynx deodorant, Axe's British-brand cousin, tells the story of how the first metro was created, and encourages the modern man to "Unleash the Man Leather". Think of it as "Metro Begins".



Lynx took the marketing a step further, and published a study that showed men who used Lynx deodorant were seen as more attractive by females than men who used a "placebo" deodorant with no fragrance. But it was not a… Continue

The Stark-Dangled Skier: Man Left Upside Down and Pantless on Vail Ski Lift



I feel for this poor bloke. As an unskillful snow athelete myself, I've come pretty close to facing the same fate.



In a bizarre incident that will surely lead to litigation (or an out-of-court settlement), a skier at Colorado's ritzy Vail ski resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Thursday morning.



The 48 year old skier and his young son (the horror!) boarded a high-speed chairlift. The lift's fold-down seat was not… Continue
