When was the last time you thought about crayons? More specifically, when was the last time you bought over 100,000 of them in order to make a sculpture? The answer is probably never, unless you’re Herb Williams. He is the Cezanne of Crayon, the Calder of Crayola, and his playful works often hold many more shades of meaning and depth than meet the eye.

Developer Of New Oculus Rift Cover Based Shooter Warns Players Not To Lean Against In-Game Objects
Posted in: Today's Chili
It’s been only a few months since the Oculus RIft devkits shipped out to developers, and we’ve already seen some positively mind-blowing stuff, from remote-controlled drones equipped with cameras to full-motion VR simulations. Today, I came across what might be the most fascinating demo yet: a cover-based shooter so realistic that the developer has cautioned players not to get too absorbed, lest they try leaning against something that isn’t there.
Seriously.

Imagine an artist that can create installations that look just like Picasso, Warhol, Rembrandt, Monet, and DaVinci…more impressively, she can do it without every picking up a paint brush. Devorah Sperber creates massive mosaics using thousands of spools of thread, but the image is upside down and backwards.

These glasses use the classic Mason jar design mounted on a candlestick-style stem.

Tricking the Eye: Phenomenal 3D Art
Posted in: Today's Chili
The art world is full of surprising and unexpected styles, but there have always been some clear separations. Paintings, drawing, and photographs stay on the two-dimensional canvas, while sculptures exist in 3-D. Those boundaries are difficult to cross, unless you are Ramon Bruin, a Dutch artist who excels at blurring the lines between reality, art, and the physical boundaries of a 2-D world.
