Thursday flashback – Death of a chocolate bunny

This week’s walk down memory lane revisits a surprisingly creepy video from late 2007 in which a series of everyday chocolate rabbits meet a disturbingly grizzly end. Some people prefer the heavy metal remix… we included it after the jump so you can decide for yourself. Enjoy!

Miniature Masterpieces on the tip of a pencil

The Telegraph has an excellent new gallery up of work by Dalton Ghetti – 17 images and well worth a look. Working entirely by hand with only two tools (a scalpel and a sewing needle) Dalton’s pieces take months to complete but really are incredible. He also says he hasn’t sold a single one of [...]

Illusion of the year winner – 2010

The winner of the Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest 2010 has been announced and the award is well deserved.  Koukichi Sugihara’s illusion “Impossible motion: magnet-like slopes” (at least we think that’s the name) was one of the few entries to be actually modelled in the real wold (not on a computer) and is [...]

Incredible indoor cycling

As far as I can tell this is a video of the 2009 Indoor-cycling; European Junior Championships showing the 2008 (and 9?) champions  Carla and Henriette Hochdorfer. Despite that hugely dull sounding introduction this clip is astounding and they are really REALLY impressive! I’m totally blown away by what they can do on their bikes, [...]

Stunningly beautiful, a story told in sand

Most of us have seen artists making sand sculptures on the beach before and so should be fairly used to the idea of sand as an artistic material but this clip showed us something entirely different today. With only a lightbox and a few handfuls of sand this contestant on Ukraine’s got talent manages to [...]

Redneck Fire Alarm

Can’t remember where I first saw this but the tab open in my browser was to the source, so thanks artoftheprank!
