As I recall, it only appeared in two episodes, but both were memorable ones. Artist Niege Borges Alves has created a series of illustrations of famous dances from film(…)

Yes, is just as awesome as it sounds… that is, if you like Blade Runner. This time-lapse video, android dreams, was shot by artist Samuel Cockedey over a year in Tokyo.

If you’re not aware of The Human Centipede, consider yourself lucky. Although you’ll probably be able to piece things together after seeing this. This is artist Alex Pardee‘s rendering of somewhat lovable Rice Krispies characters Snap, Crackle and Pop forming the human centipede. Pardee is a member of The Butcher Kings collective and is known(…)
