Food Hats: If These Were Edible, I’d Eat My Hat

Posted on 29/03/2014 by Hazel Chua

Whoever said that food and fashion don’t mix obviously haven’t seen these dainty and appetizing hats by MaorZabar Hats. Granted, the concept is strange and a bit far out, but the execution is just gorgeous.

Of course, it’ll take a playful personality (and possibly a large head) to be able to pull some of these hats off. But if you’re looking for one-of-a-kind fashion pieces that make a statement (mostly about your love of food), then these hats will do exactly that for you.

Sushi, fried eggs, salad, and pies – there’s a hat for each and every one of them.

They’re available for $266 each. Not cheap, but you have to admit, they are pretty amazing. You can check them out on Etsy.

Rockin’ Bricks: 20 Famous Bands Recreated In LEGO

Posted on 28/03/2014 by Hazel Chua

What you can make with LEGO bricks is limitless, especially if you’re creative and have the ability to envision while you put them together, brick by brick. These are qualities that LEGO builder extraordinaire Adly Syairi Ramly doesn’t have a shortage of, which his latest work clearly shows.

Adly has recently unveiled a gallery of twenty iconic bands recreated using nothing but LEGO bricks, including the likes of the Beastie Boys, Beatles, Smashing Pumpkins, and Foo Fighters.

The most amusing one is that of N’Sync, while I find the one for No Doubt particularly impressive (but maybe that’s only because I love how the Gwen Stefani minifig looks!) Which one’s your favorite?

Droolin’ Over Bricks: LEGO Food That Looks Good Enough to Eat

Posted on 26/02/2014 by Hazel Chua

Above is what pancakes slathered in syrup and topped with butter would look like if we lived in a pixelated world. We don’t, but that didn’t stop master Lego builder Sachiko Akinaga from putting together this gallery of scrumptious-looking dishes using nothing but Lego bricks. It’s hard enough–at least, for me–to build something from sets that contain actual instructions, so what Sachiko achieved here is no small feat.

Aside from the most common breakfast food ever, he also built a banana (that has just been peeled), some sushi, and even a burger. Hit the break to check out the rest of his work.

I mean, just look at that banana!

LEGO Foods are Delectably Inedible

Posted on 19/02/2014 by Hazel Chua

You can create all sorts of awesome sculptures and structures with LEGO. From models of cars and buildings to carnivals and landmarks, the sky’s the limit, as long as you have the right bricks and enough creativity.

LEGO builder Sachiko Akinaga did something different and built a gallery of LEGO food that look absolutely scrumptious. Who knew dishes made from LEGO could look so yummy?

LEGO Food2

It’s hard to believe that Sachiko only used bricks available in various LEGO sets to come up with LEGO versions of bananas, pancakes (complete with syrup and butter), sushi, and even a Big Mac with a side of fries!

Sachiko competes in LEGO building competitions and has been mastering her craft for ten years. You can learn more about her LEGO craft and inspiration in the video below:

Cheesy Batman Valentines From the Past

Posted on 14/02/2014 by Hazel Chua

Batman is the epitome of cool when it comes to superheroes. He’s rich, good-looking, and he’s got the coolest set of wheels and weapons at his disposal. But back in the day, he also happened to be featured in the cheesiest of Valentines. Corny quotes and one-liners with a (seemingly) forced lovey-dovey twist, it seems like this gallery has it all.

Check it out after the jump.

The only one missing is the Joker. Happy Valentines!

On-the-Road Art: Artist’s Hilarious Sketches of His Fellow Passengers

Posted on 12/02/2014 by Hazel Chua

What do you do when you’re on a bus or on the subway? When there are no sights to see outside and you’re bored with all the apps on your phone (including the game that cannot be won, Flappy Bird), what is there left to do?

At this point, I just take a quick nap or listen to some music, but what artist October Jones does is play a game. He sketches up a new head for other passengers and then holds them up over the actual person’s head to show what a good fit the new head is. You can check out more of his on-the-go artwork after the break.

Check out more on his Twitter feed. The one he did of real-life Waldo is my favorite from the entire series. What’s yours?

Disney Princesses x Star Wars

Posted on 08/01/2014 by Hazel Chua

It’s about time someone made this Disney Princesses and Star Wars mash-up happen. What makes it even more fitting is the fact that Disney actually owns the Star Wars franchise now. If they decided to do a Star Wars Princess edition, then I’m sure they could pretty much make it happen, although they’ll probably annoy a huge legion of fans on both sides of the fence in the process.

DeviantArtistRalph Sevelius ran with this concept in his latest works of art which feature Disney’s princesses dressed in Star Wars- inspired garb. There’s Jedi Ariel, Sith Elsa (pretty fitting, if you ask me), Padawan Rapunzel, and slave princess Jasmine.

My favorite from is the one of Aurora frozen in Carbonite. Given that she’s the Sleeping Beauty and all, well, I think the reference is pretty appropriate.

These Photoshop Parody Ads Are Spot On

Posted on 27/12/2013 by Hazel Chua

Photoshop Parody Ads

Every day, people look at their reflections on the mirror and mentally list down everything that’s wrong with their faces. Their pores. Their eyes. Their skin. Their hair. Their eyebrows. Their nose. The picture-perfect mugs of celebrities and models in magazines certainly don’t help any. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that most of them look like that thanks to PhotoShop. Sure, there are a lot of natural beauties out there, but most images that appear in print media are retouched in one way or another.

Highlighting the features of the image-editing software in a tongue-in-cheek manner is artist and photographer Anna Hill with her series of parody PhotoShop ads called “Beauty is Only Pixel Deep.”

Hill explains: “The typical makeup ad or display in a store is a closeup on a girl’s face, who has absolutely no pores and an artificial glossy finish, which made me think they may as well be advertising PhotoShop. Makeup can do a lot, but it can’t make you look like that.”

Amen to that.

Each Pair Tells a Story: Sebastian Errazuriz’s ’12 Shoes for 12 Lovers’

Posted on 20/12/2013 by Hazel Chua

The relationship might be over. But the memories (or scars) from it will live on. If not in your heart, then in your mind.

I think that can be said in Sebastian Errazuriz’s case, as he drew inspiration from past relationships and ex-lovers for his new series called 12 Shoes for 12 Lovers.

As the title implies, each pair in the collection was inspired by an ex-girlfriend. Her personality, their relationship, and vivid memories are all brought to light and to life with each pair.

From the Rock (which is inspired by what seems to be Sebastian’s most painful relationship) to the Cry Baby, each pair of shoes tells a story. Sebastian is only too happy to fill in the blanks and clue you in on the woman behind the designs with the commentaries that accompany each pair.
