This bed hovers in the air suspended by what appears to be merely a thin curtain and slides into the ceiling when it’s not needed.

Check out the unique photos of hot lava crashing in the ocean in Hawaii and see what it took to make them.

Infrared sensors, touch panels, LED indicators – the good old valves seem to come from the Stone Age when compared to these.

These creative and amazingly detailed works of art from various sand sculpture festivals look really inspiring.

Izismile team has recently received the following letter from one of our visitors:

“Hi, I'm from the Netherlands and my name is Wiebe de Leijer. I started portrait drawing 6 years ago when I was 16 years old and only made 50 drawings in around 183 hours over that period of time. It's not necessary to take classes, everyone can learn to draw portraits by themselves by just a little bit of practice and lots of patience.”

Here are several portraits drawn by Wiebe, sorted from the earliest to the latest so as to show how his skill has been progressing.

Thank you Wiebe for sharing your works and good luck with your future drawings!

Samuel Silva, an artist from Portugal, creates these incredibly realistic images with nothing but a ballpoint pen.

5,000 kids of all ages participated in the project called Build Up Japan recreating a futuristic map of the country using ivory LEGO bricks. The map is not the exact replica of the country because kids were asked to design a future topography for Japan regarding the last year’s events like the earthquake and tsunami. The map looks stunning.

These unusual buildings were designed by architect Piet Blom. Several dozens of such cube-shaped houses called Kubuswoningen were built in the Dutch towns of Rotterdam and Helmond in the midlle of the ‘70s. The total area of each house is around 100 square meters (1075 sq. ft.), though about a quarter of the space is unusable due to angled ceilings. In 2009 several cubes were converted into a hostel.
