Human Numbers

khurrum1 — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 12:53:37 +0000

So these gymnasts got together and created numbers by standing in some very uncomfortable poses.

Lots of them are believable like:

The Number 1:

Number 0:

But what about number 5?

How can that be possible with out breaking that girls back? That one is either photoshopped or that girl on top weighs like 50 lbs.

Art by Hanoch Piven

khurrum1 — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 12:28:21 +0000

Piven takes a bunch of house hold items, cuts them up, puts them together so they have faces and tada,,, insta-art. His clients include HOP TV, Nick Jr., and the Washington Post.

The characters look funny, colorful and friendly. Did you know that making stuff like that could actually get you a job and then make you famous? Better get out your junk and scissors and start artsyfartsying..

Urinal Sculptures

khurrum1 — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 12:20:20 +0000

hmm.. I guess these were inspired by Duchamp’s Fountain. If you can take a urinal and call it art then I’m sure you can take art and call it a urinal.

They even flush with pretty fountain like streams of water. o_O
