Remember the one time someone turned a Cold War era nuclear shelter vent into a giant R2-D2? Well, it happened again, but this time, the upsized iconic astromech from everyone’s (or most people’s) favorite sci-fi franchise was found in Germany and it was most certainly legal, unlike the aforementioned. What you see before you is the Zweibrücken Observatory of the Natural Science Association – transformed to look like R2 with clever paint works.

KAWS Companion As Ooompa Loompas Robot Art Is Strangely Attractive
If you love Slobot, AKA Robot Art, and happen to be particularly enamored by the original movie adaption of the 1964 Roald Dahl novel, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971, Paramount Pictures), then this new piece from Slobot artist Mike Slobot may interest you. Mike Slobot, who is a self-declared Willy Wonka of his Slobot universe, created a robot character inspired by the Ooompa Loompas from the movie which he named Slonkabot 1000-5YL.

Ukrainian Artist ‘Unbeautify’ Dolls, Repaints Them To Create Realistic Look
Somewhere in the U.S., one artist has taken upon himself to beautify, ugly, unrealistic action figures and dolls, turning them into desirable collectibles. Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe, one Ukrainian artist is doing the opposite. Olga Kamenetskaya believes that dolls are unrealistic in representing the body proportion and beauty of a real person and thus, she set out to water down the dolls’ beauty. Not sure if she is doing anything to the body shape though, but I guess, as far as body shape goes, it has been taken care by Lammily. In fact, Lammily does a brilliant job in presenting a doll with a look that won’t mislead our young ones with unrealistic beauty.

This Is Probably The Coolest Bluetooth Speaker Because, Mechanical Spider
Bluetooth speakers are just Bluetooth speakers. The most you can do to make one standout is to make it look sleeker and sounds better. You can’t actually make it ‘cool’, or so we thought. But I guess we were wrong because, the Mechanical Spider Bluetooth Speaker is actually cool. That’s right. This ‘unholy’, sci-fi-ish contraption you see here is indeed a Bluetooth speaker. Quite unbelievable that this thing is a Bluetooth speaker, really, but that’s exactly what makes it super cool.

Mind Blown: Image Of An Octopus Cut From A Single Piece Of Paper!
At some point in time in our lives, we all had experienced cutting out bits from a piece of paper to create an image of some sort. Let me assure you that this octopus you see here is not that. This is the next level of paper cutting art. Neither is it a drawing. And oh, yeah, it was cut from a single piece of paper, alright. This form of art is known as Kirie. Kirie is the Japanese art of paper-cutting and it ain’t no child’s art. It involves slicing out negative spaces from a single sheet of white paper with the final art placed against a contrasting background to reveal the image.

Here’s A Wacky Christmas Tree Inspired By Banksy Shredded Painting
After anonymous artist Banksy shocked the art world when his Girl With Red Balloon painting promptly ‘self-destructs’ after being successfully sold in an auction, it inspired a series of memes, along with businesses riding on this act for advertising. It was a shocking act of defiance which I thought will be quickly forgotten. Well, as it turns out, it hasn’t been completely forgotten, at least not by two local artists from West Virginia, U.S.A.

Colors Of These Amazing Wall Murals Will Only Be Revealed When Inverted
Graffiti or wall murals are writing or artwork painted on walls, often with aerosol paint, and they are pretty much what you see. At least, that’s the norm, but this norm, does not apply to Colombian graffiti artist Sepc’s latest wall mural painting technique. Right off the bat, our naked eyes see these murals, called Revelado, as negatives, like the image on the negative of analog camera’s film. These wall murals are aptly described as “positive and negative,” and true to the description, they can only be fully appreciated when “developed” into a “positive” image.

Artsy Halloween: Art Students In Japan Dressed Up As Famous Paintings

But straying from its origin has resulted in some rather creative Halloween costumes, such as these famous painting costumes by a group of student from The Amazing School of Special Effects.
