When I was a kid and we’d visit places with fragile things, my mom would order me to "look with your eyes, not with your hands." But exactly the opposite is encouraged in a new exhibit called Ghosts, Underpants, and Stars at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, in which kids are encouraged to mess with iconic paintings.

For your next job interview, wear these My Little Pony Ties. They are bright and full of pony magic. It’s important to dress well and who knows, maybe the boss is a My Little Pony fan.
David Hajari’s My Little Pony ties will certainly make an impression on your fellow Bronies. And let’s face it, you have to stand out in today’s crowded jobs market.
The question is, will they appreciate Rainbow Dash or Luna more? Decisions decisions. There are eight versions to choose from and they will cost you $35(USD) plus shipping. While they are awesome, you should know that the main canvas isn’t actually painted on the tie, but placed on a detachable laminated faceplate so you can swap out pony designs. Extra faceplates sell for $10 each.
Not having one could cost you your future. Good work David. Love the colors.

It’s been exactly 25 years since the world lost one of its greatest artists. Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat passed away from a drug overdose at 27 on August 12, 1988. The Brooklyn born artist started in the streets and meteorically rose through the art scene to collaborate with Andy Warhol and is still seemingly referenced in every other hip hop song.

When it comes to high-fidelity sound, what could be better at reproducing a human’s voice than an actual human? Bypassing the vocal chords, Nic Wallenburg’s Human Speaker collar uses the wearer’s mouth and lips to control and amplify sounds, essentially turning the wearer into a speaker.

In medieval times tapestries were used to commemorate epic battles, document family histories, and even immortalize heroes. These days, artists like Phillip Stearns use them as a physical representations of the digital bits and bytes flowing through our electronic hardware.

Everyone loves the Minions from Despicable Me. They will soften even the hardest of hearts. That must be why they are getting their own movie in 2014. To satisfy your craving for cute minions in the meantime, check out this fun collection of art featuring the Minions cosplaying other movie characters.
Aren’t you a little short to be a Stormtrooper? He’s looking a bit rotund there too. How about a minion as Gotham’s Guardian? Na Na Na Na Na… Batmin!
This is my favorite. The Joker minion.
Though the Daft Minions are pretty cool too…
Minion cosplay is the best kind of cosplay. Is it wrong that I want all of these as action figures? Head on over to Guyism to check out a bunch more dressed up minions.

No one can say that the snapshot is dead. If judged by sheer quantity, our culture is no doubt taking more photographs than ever before. Robert Jackson collects vintage snapshots, and points out that even though the practice is alive and well, it is not what it once was.
