The Sims in oil

Amy Bennett does these very realistic and vivid oil paintings which almost look like straight out of “The Sims”. Interesting style. More paintings can be found on her website.

Skydiving from the Edge of the World

I didn´t know that my favourite Boards of Canada song “Dayvan Cowboy” has such an interesting video clip (watch below). It features Joe Kittinger jumping off the edge of the earth in over 31,000m, which also set the world record for the highest parachute jump. And that was already back in 1960. More on Joe Kittinger here and here.

Light painting

I stumbled across this light painting article a few months ago and always wanted to try it myself. Two weeks ago I finally got a tripod and went off in the middle of the night to my first attempt in light painting. The result of it can be seen below or on my flickr page. Not bad for the first time and this wasn´t definitely the last time.
