These are The Kelpies, an impressive monument in The Helix, a land transformation project in Scotland. The two metal horse heads stand 98 feet high. This time-lapse video—created "over 60 days of stop-motion filming across 7 months"—show how they were built.
Most of us take too many pictures of our pets. They’re adorable, but how many are truly great photos worthy of hanging on the wall? For this week’s Shooting Challenge, try to take a more amazing pet photo.
Installing a set of solar panels on the roof of your home can lead to significant savings when your monthly power bill arrives. But how do you know how well they’re performing in between without watching the meter like a hawk? With this innocuous looking piece of art that doubles as a home energy monitor.
Last week, we challenged you to photograph a shadow puppet

We’ve all seen the famous Dogs Playing Poker paintings. The Doctors Playing Poker version is soooo much better. It is the work of artist SugarHappyJax, who should really write for the show. I would have totally watched this episode.
It shows the 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th Doctors all playing a game of poker with a Cyberman, a Dalek and the Master (Anthony Ainley version). It has a lot of nice details, like Van Gogh’s exploding TARDIS painting, playing cards with K-9 on the back, the fez, even the crack in time.
This painting is well worth the $500(USD) asking price.
Last February Blizzard and deviantART held a Diablo III: Reaper of Souls fan art contest. The winners of the contest have now been announced. Diablo III Art Director Christian Lichtner had the honor of picking the winners. He chose Kuzinskiy Andrey and his barbarian-centered piece New Evil as the grand prize winner.
deviantART member TheRafa bagged second place. In Among the Dead, TheRafa featured the new Crusader class about to engage the Reaper of Souls himself, Angel of Death Malthael.
Yong Jun Cho aka nixell won third place with his badass Monk art, Fist of Conviction. This is actually my favorite among the three.
Congratulations to all the winners! You deserve your epic loot. Use this waypoint to deviantART to check out what Christian had to say about each winning artwork, and be sure to admire them in their full resolution on their respective artists’ pages. I highly recommend looking at the other submissions as well.
Some people hate doing nothing. I am not one of those people. The calmness of inactivity peacefully re-centers your soul. It’s not boring. It’s soothing. And these GIFs wonderfully made by artist Rebecca Mock perfectly capture that accomplished feeling of doing nothing.

Adventure Time is super popular with both kids and adults, because it is funny, unique and original. The characters are awesome. It has inspired many artists to make their own Adventure Time art. It should be celebrated. And it will be. Gallery1988 West is having a special exhibit that features over 65 artists.

The art on display ranges from illustrations to sculptures and it will show off all kinds of art inspired by this amazing cartoon series. If I could, I would buy it all. There are so many great pieces.

The show opened on Thursday, April 3 and will only run through April 6. So you’d better hurry. This show is sure to be a hit so maybe they will have another one in a year or so.
