Just when you think you’ve seen everything that can be done with LEGO comes this: a LEGO train graffitist. OK, mind firmly blown. The song by Skream ain’t bad, either.

Days go by with a blink of an eye. Here is a sure way to make an impact on what day it is by bubble popping the date into the calendar. It could be considered the new stress ball? Or just a moment in your day to play.

Stuart Gibson is a photographer from Tasmania. His introduction to photography was one of accident. A car smash saw him hobbling on crutches and plastered up to a dangerously itchy level, but this forced shore leave proved to be a blessing in disguise as soon as he picked up the camera. Shooting from the beach on a pre-loved Canon film rig, Gibson realized he had found his passion and his true life calling. Read more

Lana Sator snuck into a space rocket factory near Moscow and took these stunning photos reminiscent of lost scenes from some epic sci-fi movie. Whilst the site might look decrepit and abandoned, the factory is fully active and the Russian government is not impressed with Sator’s little adventures into forbidden territory. The authorities have sent her letters saying that her situation will get ‘much worse’ if she keeps posting photos from the factory. Read more

Seems bombs and heavy artillery weren’t the only hazards during the Second World War, as this wicked collection of Anti-Prostitution Posters from the How To Be A Retronaut website alludes to. Read more

What’s most interesting about this set of vintage tips for single women is how little has changed in the intervening 74 years. Whoops, did I say that. Bite my tongue. Or yours. Read more

Lee Jeffries began his career as a sports photographer in Manchester. But a chance meeting with a homeless girl living in the streets of London changed his life forever. Following this encounter, he decided to make a series of raw portraits of homeless in black and white. The result is absolutely stunning and compelling. Read more

Tyree Callahan has created a phenomenon. The Washington-based artist took a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter and transformed it into a functional painting tool by swapping letters for colours. The project was his entry in the 2012 West Prize competition. Read more

In 1949, renowned LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Pablo Picasso in the South of France. Using a small flashlight in a dark room, Picasso created wildly free and fluid drawings while Mili snapped away. The resulting images are, erm, electric. Read more

Is this the greatest invention since sliced bread? Well, for meat eaters, perhaps. The Wake N’ Bacon is an alarm clock that ‘wakes you up with the smell of cooking bacon instead of a buzzer’. Yes, that’s right: ‘The aroma wakes you up, then you can open the oven component and eat the bacon itself’. Brilliant! Now, if it could only perculate a pot of coffee too. Read more

We’re in danger of being a little obsessed with this sort of thing at the moment, but this Earth time-lapse video is just too beautiful not to be shared. Be warned, the shots of the Aurora together with the ambient music track are fairly trance-inducing. We take no responsibility for loss of work hours.

Oh no, has it really come to this? A new range of colognes being sold out of a strip club in South Africa enables men to spray themselves with a selection of ‘smells’ to provide an alibi for why they’re home late. So which one is it, men: are you ‘working late’ (cigarettes, coffee, ink and wool suits), have a ‘broken down car’ (fuel, burnt rubber, grease, oil and steel), or ‘been out sailing?’ (fresh ocean spray, sunscreen, aqua and cotton rope).

The Mayuko Kanazawa Leg Hair Font was borne out of a design project at Tama Art University which called for the design of a new font without using a computer. Student Mayuko Kanazawa took the brief and ran with it, so to speak. The result is this wonderfully unique and creative font. Kinda hair-raising huh?

I dream of owning a bicycle that allows me to play records on its wheels so I can show punks in their souped up jeeps a thing or two about pimping out a ride. Hence, I am excited to hear this protype was just unveiled at Dezeen Platform exhibition by Dutch designers Merel Sloother, Liat Azulay and Pieter Frank de Jong. My day is coming. Read more

Scottish artist Paul Cadden crafts meticulous hyper-realistic portraits from pencil and graphite. Of his art, he says: ‘The art created from the photo is used to create a softer and much more complex focus on the subject depicted, presenting it as a living tangible object’. Indeed, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear they were photographs. But they’re not. Remarkable. Read more

Heinz Maier recently started photographing last year. His main interest is in macro photography, specifically water drops (featured here) and insects. Read more

Heidi Klum and her husband, Seal, seem to be upping the ante with their Halloween costumes for the past few years. Klum recently dressed as a skinless body, which I think is one of the best costumes I’ve ever seen.

It’s baby Chewbacca! That’s all I can say apart from D’awww! Does anyone else wonder if this is just a regular baby that was born a little hairy? ‘He is a Wookie baby, fashioned after Chewbacca from Star Wars. I have never seen a baby Wookie but I imagine they are probably somewhat like a puppy given that they are born lighter and get darker as they get older’. Let the bidding way commence! Read more

Yes, yes, I am either a ‘bawdy beef-witted bum-bailey’ or a ‘dankish fen-sucked harpy’. For the life of me, I just can’t work out which.

The best way to glam up food for a dinner party or wedding. But why stop there? As the people at Food Finish suggest, give your pretzel a quick spray before taking a bite. And who doesn’t want their tomato to be pretty enough to hang on a Christmas tree? Read more
Why are images by photographer Jason Fulford so freaking hilarious? They’re not outright puns, but they’re strange and unexpected in a whimsical, mysterious, and sometimes unnerving way. Read more
These incredible photos of the northern lights over Troms, Norway were taken by photographers Tommy Eliassen, Fredrik Broms, Justin Dernier, and Patrick Pleul, and featured on the always inspiring Lightbox section of Time Magazine online. Read more
This clip had such an impact on me when it first came out, back in the day. There’s just something so poignant about the idea that some people you pass on the street everyday have a little bit more insight into their world — our world — than we could ever imagine. It’s beautiful and confronting, and it’s all set to the most wonderfully evocative music.
Do the Norwegians know something we don’t? On a remote island near the North Pole they’re going to build a seed vault that is able to survive future cataclysmic events such as asteroid strikes, nuclear war or climate change. Read more
Fat Cap is an excellent site for the latest and greatest in graffiti and street art. From pictures to interviews, and even a member site that you can upload your work to, this site is pure crack for anyone that loves art. Read more
Music isn’t necessarily a serious venture. It’s almost funny when you find some you know will grate to dust the stiff upper lipped critics of the world. Every now and then I like the type of sound that hops around the edge of your ears without working its way into your brain and messing up the seratonin levels. And Californian 16-piece tropical-ska-pop group, Still Flyin’, do just that for me. It’s a good laugh, quite catchy, and an awesome live experience so I’m told: especially with the sun out, a can of cider in your hand and a bunch of grinning faces skanking around you.
