Dutch design group Million Dollar Design won a competition to give a 30-year-old Amsterdam metro train a face-lift. Taking a worn-out grey background as a canvas, they transformed an old subway car into an incredible underwater world! Mermaids, sea turtles, eels, and octopuses are only a few creatures seen in this colorful fantasy.
In many parts of the world Soccer is more than a sport it is a religion! The passion and energy that the fans and players muster is a constant wonder. Fans come dressed in team or national colors and often face and body painting are colorful expressions of the power and energy of the game. When the football world gathers together in South Africa in 2010 for the Soccer World Cup, the national flags of all the qualifying nations will be in evidence on many a supporters face.
Portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci made out of nails. By Tirana (Albania)-based artist Saimir Strati. “Using industrial nails, the artist re-created the self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci using nearly 400 kilos[880 pounds] of nails over a 2x4m[6.5 feet x 13 feet] surface. The technique resembles digital photography, in that each nail represents a pixel. According to the Guinness Book of World Records it’s the world’s largest nail mosaic.”
