Porcelain Keira Knightley by Mario Testino (6 photos)

Mario Tesino shoots gorgeous Keira Knightley for Vogue UK's January 2011 issue. The 25-year-old English film actress looks radiant (if not a bit pale) in these shots with her fire-red lips and her designer clothes by Miu Miu, Sonia Rykiel, Prada and Marni. In classic Testino-style, the photos are beautifully lit and there's an artistic quality to them, as if we're looking at… Continue

Gamer's Post!



So this video was created by Japanese students using stop-motion and I must say they did a REALLY great job! But this makes me think of the following:





1 - They did a really incredible job.

2 - I love the fact that the original Mario is still appreciated after all these years.

3 - Shouldn't they be training to be a ninja or something? (i can totally say this because I'm Asian so its not as racist.)… Continue

Mario's Wardrobe Worries - Glen Brogan

What a fantastic new piece from artist Glen Brogan! Just what should Mario put on today? Guess it depends on his every-changing mood...



Per Glen, "I wanted to include as many of his power-ups as possible, but the main rule I had to follow was that I couldn't include things that actually transform Mario himself rather that just changing his wardrobe, like the Boo mushroom from Mario Galaxy that turns him into a ghost."



The design… Continue

Sweet Rachel McAdams in Vogue Jan '10 (4 pics)



Mario Testino shoots the beautiful Rachel McAdams in the January 2010 edition of Vogue. Dressed in Dior and Dolce & Gabbana, McAdams is a vision. As a star in the upcoming movie, Sherlock Holmes, she'll grace the screen once again, proving her celebrity star status. With all this fame, though, don't think McAdam is not grounded. As she states, "I don't really…

An Edgy Scarlett Johansson by Mario Sorrenti (6 pics)



Maybe it's because I like any photo shoot with graffiti in the background. Or maybe it's because Scarlett Johansson has never looked as sweet yet edgy as this. As one of today's modern day muses, Scarlett lights up any screen she's on. In this photo shoot, by Mario…

Sexy - Mario Testino

There's something completely sexy about this photo shoot by Mario Testino that has me coming back to it over and over again. The way the model has this nervousness about herself - the slightly self-consciousness makes it all the more appealing. I love the lighting and use of gold and orange colored accessories. And the last picture is just completely arresting, isn't…

Gosh! SirMitchell Tees.



SirMitchell's little shop of t-shirts on Etsy makes me laugh. The designs are almost as awesome as unicorns, Star Wars, dinosaurs, or Halo, but less awesome than a Liger. They're probably the best drawings the artist has ever done.





For the ladies out there.

Anne Hathaway in Vogue



Apparently, Vogue loves Anne Hathaway. Granted, she sometimes calls to mind a girl Screech (with me, Grace?) but she sure looks great in couture, as demonstrated by the January 2009 issue of Vogue. The spread was photographed by Mario Testino, a favorite of Princes William and Harry.

'Cause Hand Painted Art is Just So Whimsical and Fun!: Mario Mariotti

Mario Mariotti (1936-1997) was a conceptual artist who transforms his hands into odd, fantastic creatures. His book "Animani" showcased a great variety of wild animals and birds -- all hands, adorned with a lot of paint, a few toothpicks, string and some button eyes. Not as detailed and refined as Guido Daniele of Milan Italy (see… Continue
