When you put sandwiches in a desktop scanner, the result is delicious. When you put humans, the result… lies somewhere in the uncanny valley.

Posted in: Today's Chili
Taking photos of other people’s art is generally not good photographic practice. But what about when art melds with the human form? For this week’s Shooting Challenge, you’re going to photograph a tattoo.

Here’s something we should all totally get behind: strangers drawing strangers Facebook profile pictures. Called Selfless Portraits, it’s an incredible art project that allows random people to draw other random people’s profile pic and collects them all in a gallery of side-by-side portraits. Some of them are wonderful. Others are hilarious. All of them are awesome. More »

A lot of people would agree that breakfast is perhaps the most important meal of the day. I agree and I never miss it if I have a choice. But if the mascots on the cereal boxes had a change of face and were changed to look like the ones below, then I wouldn’t hesitate to skip it.
Not because I want to, but because I don’t think I can stomach it.
These realistic renderings were done by graphic designer and illustrator Guillermo Fajardo who wanted to do something different with something that’s so well-known.
I’ve always wondered what if the characters from our favorite cereal boxes were actual real life moving and dramatic creatures…This project is based on a personal point of view, taking all my child memories and turning them into a new sarcastic and adult vision, remaking all the cereal gang.
Tony the Tiger, Cap’n Crunch, Count Chocula and Trix Rabbit never looked this realistic–or this mean, scary, and creepy.

Not every fairy tale ends in happily ever after. You’d be surprised at how many Disney stories actually ended in tragedy. Did you know that the Little Mermaid actually turned into foam because the prince married someone else? Or that Cinderella’s step-sisters had their eyes pecked out by pigeons because they were trying to fool the prince?
Obviously, kids won’t want to see movies ending in such tragedy. But what if the villains prevailed in Disney’s version of the tales? These digital paintings by artist Justin Turrentine still portray a happy ending – only for the villains, and not for the princesses that little girls (and even boys) have grown to love over the years.
Check out the rest of the series in the gallery below. (Poor Flounder!)
