I can’t believe how much these people look different now then before. It ’s really amazing how they transformed. The make-up and the plastic surgery are the true miracle workers of the modern world. It is something like a new age religion. Because of the society demand for beauty and perfection aesthetic/cosmetic surgery is becoming an everybody must do or must have. People are becoming more and more obsessive about their looks since everywhere you look you see pretty and happy people. It’s something that simply goes together. Pretty people are happy people, and the ugly ones are unfortunate. If you wish to succeed at your work, in love, have a fulfilled life you have to meet only one demand and that is to be beautiful. On the other hand, if you are not so handsome it would be better for you to keep out of the way so nobody would be forced to look at your unpleasant image.

If your a fan of Thomas Woodruff’s paintings, then you’ll be pleased to know about his latest works, entitled: “Solar System (The Turning Heads),”on show at NYC’s P.P.O.W. This new series is a dazzling parade of super magical otherworldliness to celebrate a fanciful universe of weird beauty with an incredibly unique touch, using richly layered paint and subdued colors. Woodruff’s a master of hybridizing vocabularies from the past and present, referencing sideshow banners, Pompeian wall frescoes, Baroque religious paintings, theatrical posters, and Victorian penmanship charts to create new planetary oddities with a twist – every painting from this series is meant to be flipped, thereby revealing an inverse meaning.

Yuken Teruya from Japan constructs intricate paper cuttings from waste materials: toilet paper rolls, shopping bags, newspapers. His artworks are caught in transitional moments, when a paper bag begins to evolve into a tree or an old copy of the New York Times has sprung roots as a newspaper garden.

It often happens that the author remains famous not for his best, but for his most original work. The same is with the authors themselves. If you want to be seen or heard of you have to make something unique that will make you jump off of the page. Famous German-Austrian author Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (February 6, 1736 – August 19, 1783) was a sculptor most famous for his “character heads”, a collection of busts of faces contorted in extreme facial expressions. For his work it can definitely be said that stood out from all the other baroque sculptures and made quite a fuss at the time that it appeared. It is obvious that artists have always been a bit strange to all the other people and curiously different and eccentric, it’s not only today!

Kyle Cassidy traveled 15,000 miles over two years photographing Americans in their homes and asking one question: “Why do you own a gun?” A good question, particularly since most of these guns are not easily reconcilable with the notion of self-defense and their true place should be somewhere in the Armed Forces. All the photo were later compiled in the book with its German edition being published this year. The pics below are taken from the latter. As said by Alan Cooperman from The Washington Post: “Each picture in Armed America could be a pro-gun advertisement – or an anti-gun poster. That’s what makes the book so riveting.”
