Sculptor Chris Bathgate makes beautiful, abstract machined forms with edges that look like they’d cut and curves that are cold and stern. They’re like the gleaming brass sex-organs of some exotic, alien life form — via Boing Boing

Have majestic squids ever wrestled with vicious sharks? And I am not referring to anything ever televised on the Sci-Fi Channel. I’m talking about real squid and real sharks and real, true fury — via Etsy

One of the things I love about working Google is that you can come up with an idea one day and the next day start getting to work to make it a reality. That’s what happened with the Art Project—a new tool we’re announcing today which puts more than 1,000 works of art at your fingertips, in extraordinary detail — via redwolf.newsvine.com
Last week was crazy apeshit bananas. First, I launched my State of the Web comic where I requested that Tumblr used my TumblBeasts as a down time mascot. Four hours later I got an email from the founder of Tumblr, and subsequently my TumblBeasts became the new Tumblr 503 error page. They renamed them from TumblBeasts to Tumbeasts (I preferred TumblBeasts) and they now stand as the face of server failure on the Tumblr network.
After that, it got picked up by ReadWriteWeb, Mashable, Business Insider, and CNN. Crazy apeshit bananas?
I THINK YES!

A commission of a Dr Who ceph and a TARDIS! Something got lost in translation between the sketch and the final art – straight lines and perspective are tricky like that — via CrashOctopus Blog

So tonight after finishing my painted Skully & Crossbones on Livestream, I still felt like creating something. I invited the people watching to come up with something cool and I would paint it. They asked for a zombie octopus wearing a Shaun of The Dead shirt. So here we go! Killamari I think they called it?!
Thanks for those of you who were hanging out, and sorry to those who couldn’t get in because it was full. I believe that will be fixed soon.

Mr Landis — often under his own name, though more recently as Father Scott or as a collector named Steven Gardiner — has indeed done a lot of traveling over the past two decades, but not for the church. He has been one of the most prolific forgers American museums have encountered in years, writing, calling and presenting himself at their doors, where he tells well-concocted stories about his family’s collection and donates small, expertly faked works, sometimes in honor of nonexistent relatives.
Unlike most forgers, he does not seem to be in it for the money, but for a kind of satisfaction at seeing his works accepted as authentic. He takes nothing more in return for them than an occasional lunch or a few tchotchkes from the gift shop. He turns down tax write-off forms, and it’s unclear whether he has broken any laws. But his activities have nonetheless cost museums, which have had to pay for analysis of the works, for research to figure out if more of his fakes are hiding in their collections and for legal advice. (The Hilliard said it discovered the forgery within hours, using a microscope to find a printed template beneath the paint) — via redwolf.newsvine.com
