Images that you will see inside this post are very unique. This art presented by Istvan Orosz is called Anamorphosis. This renewed Chinese technique shows you the real image only when you have a special device or a specific vantage point to reconstitute it.
This technique was used by Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance artists (the art was brought to Italy in the 16th century). And now Istvan Orosz has mastered this 3-D art. He uses mirror Anamorphosis: places a mirror on the drawing transforming a flat image into a three dimensional picture. You can see more after the jump.
I am ok with tattoos and piercings. However this guy shocked me so much, I still can’t forget his crazy face and… lips. You have no idea what he did with himself! But he seems to be happy about his appearance and enjoys taking pictures with other people. This is totally nuts, I warn you!
One would think that with the two great characteristics such as opposing thumbs and advanced brains, humans would be able to come up with some really useful inventions. Well, it would appear from the photos that sometimes the creative process becomes a disturbing mix of lack of common skill and sense, a strange sort of genius, and perhaps a little too much alcohol. The result is very dumb inventions.

We showed you some of these photos before. But this time it’s the whole collection of priceless creative works of the Life is too short for a wrong job pictures used for one European job search web-site! Simply enjoy!
This is a textile strap created by Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena.
It is called Chairless. It helps to stabilize your body while sitting and relieve tension.
In other words, a good tool for lazy people. But I must admit that I’d like to have one ;)
Most of us have felt the need to use our inventive skills at one time or another. However, these photos represent the times when we should have simply called a professional. They are some examples of when things should not be homemade. However, they are funny.
Circular Saw
We wrote about the Hoover Dam Bypass project before. The main portion of it is the Colorado River Bridge that should be built by the end of 2010. This bridge will connect the Arizona and Nevada Approach highways. Now you can enjoy the new photos as they are truly wonderful.
The little ones enjoy screaming. This can be said both about children and kittens. Who screams the best in your opinion?
This is the line at one Chinese university campus for enrollment.
Of course, it is normal in a country with such a big population but still, it is crazy…
Here are some Chinese superhero knockoffs…
Creators really put imagination into these toys. Maybe someone will find them really creative but seeing Darth Vader on a police motorcycle is still really weird :)
The illustrations in these photos are very creative and interesting. They were done by a very talented artist by the name of Ryan Mauskopf. They have an amazing amount of detail and are extremely colorful. They certainly appeal to one’s sense of imagination.

Dogs are awesome creatures, we don’t call them men’s best friends for no reason, but dogs are not always… smart!
Some of them can eat things you could hardly think it is possible to swallow, I’m not talking about poo… no, I’m more thinking about items such as forks, soccer balls… and lots of other crazy things!

This apartment seems to belong to a Russian old man who knows how to party. Friends + vodka + mess = drunken friendlymess? ;)
Have you got balls to jump from a cliff? What if the cliff looks this scary?
If you suffer from hay fever, you can now get acquainted with your invisible enemy. These are the Scanning Electron Microscope pictures of pollen grains captured by Martin Oeggerli. Take a close look at pollens from different species of plants.
When things seem impossible, some people just won’t say die. They will find some ridiculous way to achieve their goals no matter how difficult the task may be. Some of their inventions are amazing, some are incredible, but all are ridiculously funny.
Sometimes librarians can be so cruel! I didn’t believe it myself until I saw these agressive library signs.
