Murals by Ernest Zacharevic

Artist Ernest Zacharevic just finished a month long residency in Ipoh, Malaysia. During his stay he created several large murals, depicting every day life of the locals, as well as created some amusing and playful paintings, featuring children and animals that interact with the building and its surroundings. Some of these are his previous work, mixed with his most recent. 

Anyone know what that liquid in the tied off plastic bag is? It's most likely soda! That particular mural made me giggle and sent a wave of nostalgia through me. Why? In Thailand, when you purchase soda from a street vendor, you can request them to put it in a plastic bag for an easier carrying mode. 

I'm normally not a fan of street art, but these are incredibly charming and helps transform run down buildings into something that can be appreciated. 

Conceptual Photography by Kylli Sparre

Kylli Sparre was a ballet dancer turned photographer, capturing surreal images using the concept of choreographed motion. Her passion for dance and its influence really shines through these photographs. You can feel the energy and contortion of the posed models, and the dream like environment just makes even more hypnotizing. You can see more of Kylli Sparre's work on facebook!

Makacoon Tribute Art

I remember the first time I ever watched Sailor Moon, it was dubbed in Thai. Then, a few years later, I watched the American version. Fast forward to a couple of years ahead , when I was finally able to buy the entire series collection online, I discovered how much I was missing out on. I always prefer to watch my favorite anime in Japanese, anyway. But when I watched Sailor Moon in Japanese, I fell in love with the series even more. 

With the premier of the reboot not far off (YAY!), fan artist Makacoon created alternate versions of the Sailor Senshi. The results are so cool, that I wish this version would be made into the reboot. What do you think??

Gorgeous Underwater Photography by Benjamin Von Wong

Montreal-based director Benjamin Von Wong takes risks when it comes to photography, and the results are stunning. These images were recently taken off the coast of Bali and most of us might wonder, why not use photo manipulation instead, but where would the satisfaction be in that? The photo shoot consisted of seven divers, including Benjamin, and actual two free diving models.

Benjamin and his team were faced with many challenges, but the one that can highly affect the photo shoot, was the limited amount of photography equipment they could bring under water. With that in mind, Benjamin had to work with natural lighting to capture the surreal images. The siren like models spent time posing and being tied to the 50 year old shipwreck 25 meters under water. Now, that is absolutely amazing.
