Burning Man is an eight-day annual event held in the Black Rock Desert, in Northern Nevada. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy on Saturday evening. The event is described by many participants as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance.
The event was open from the last Monday in August until Labor Day (August 31st to September 7th 2009, so yesterday). In 2008, 49,599 people participated in Burning Man, in 1986, it was only 20 people on a small beach in San Francisco…
It is all about art, music and performance and this year, the theme was “Evolution”.
Here is another selection of photomontages but this time, the theme is Fire!!
Fire is dangerous and violent, but fire is beautiful, so, combined with other living elements or not, I find it magical.
Take a look on the excellent works of Photoshop (or other softs) artists.
Here is another series of stunning photo manipulation. Photoshop artists do not lack of imagination and talent, this compilation is a proof. It’s very inspirational, so watch this selection, it is worth it ))
We’ve already posted a selection of this kind of pics a few weeks ago: Excellent picture manipulations, watch it too if you haven’t done it already.
These pieces of art are incredible and stunning.
You will find your favourite characters among them. They are all made of steel.
Some of them take for about three months to be completed. But it worth it
I admit, I have long been a fan of Banksy art. He is a very talented artist.
If you remember, his works were exhibited in the Bristol's City Museum and Art Gallery.
Here are some more of his amazing artworks.
Artists here made a really great job. I’m sure if you did not know that those pics were paintings you would have thought they were photos.

I cannot even imagine what a difficult and delicate work artists had to do to create this beauty.
I would also add that they are very talented, because without such a talent it would be difficult to do something like that, that's for sure.
Planes are a fast and convenient means of transport. But they could be cooler if they were all painted that way.
Look at the selection after the jump.
The artist Kacper Hamilton, inspired by the seven deadly sins, designed a quite interesting series of glasses.
He did a good job, so don’t hesitate to take a look inside the post.
This amazing artwork is done by San Francisco artist Andres Amador.
He usually patiently waits for a full or new moon to be sure that low tides would prepare for him a perfect “canvas” to do his work.
Sadly enough, but within several hours these masterpieces are wiped out by the ocean…
Verkenners (Art and area-development) is an art project between artists and urban developers. Together, they seek a way to “use art in new development areas.”
Look only what these guys have done there. The idea is very simple but at the same time original and I am sure this will work. Good job :)
That’s the crazy project of Gabriel (20) and Tiago (27) Primo, 2 brothers living in Rio de Janeiro - they are sleeping, working, eating, well… living on the side of a building 33 feet up in the air.
And that’s not just for a day, they’ve been doing that since the end of May and they plan to continue this weird adventure until August 20.
In fact, it’s a part of an art exhibit in Rio’s old center, and what an exhibition! You don’t see that everyday, so if you’re in Rio this summer, don’t forget to go and see this colourful living wall.
Coffee or latte art is developing very quickly and there are even competitions all around the world showing this interesting and beautiful form of art.
We found a good collection of coffee art. It may inspire you to do some of them when preparing your latte ;)
Art is eternal and there are no rules in creating art.
Even from dollar bills you can create something original and beautiful. Look at these masterpieces.
Here are some really well made propaganda posters for WIII. The artist made a nice job.
I can say one thing, if I buy this soap, I'll make a collection of them instead of washing myself with them. This would be a shame to spoil this beauty.
It’s not only soap, it is art.
Really talented people that transform simple paper into genuine masterpieces.
Just take a look at these awesome work art after the jump.
This is great, great, great!! Works like this are always pleasant to see.
And the authors of these masterpieces have not only computer and creativity but also a huge talent. Two thumbs up!
Yes yes, your fingers have their own life, it’s just that we have no idea about it ;)))
French artists Ivan Duval and Jean Sébastien Ides decided to have fun with one-dollar bill and to draw on it. It wasn’t photoshopped, all the bills are real ones.
What you are going to see inside the post may seem strange to you, or on the contrary, very cool.
Anyways, these are very creative and unusual works. Look.
Even the first and superficial acquaintance with the work and the life of Dmitri Didorenko is astonishing.
By looking at his paintings, it is hard to believe that he is blind. But this is true ...
I try to show you the masterpieces of art and I hope I do it well, at least I try
Today we will see the work of Alex Andreev, a Russian artist. Excellent work! Don’t miss it!
The pictures are hilarious.
The possibilities of Photoshop are endless! This time, the photomontage was done on old famous paintings with the addition of something new, some detail or character. A new element brought to the painting has the same aspect as the painting itself in order not to make it obvious that it was added. You should look hard at some pictures to see this element. Modern art. Take a look.
