Remake by Jeff Hamada

August 10, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Digital Art, 2015

"Four years ago, Booooooom creator Jeff Hamada asked the internet to join in on an art challenge to recreate their favourite old master paintings as contemporary photographs. The Remake Project sparked many professional and amateur artists to create elaborate sets, paint their bodies, paint their friends’ bodies, and take their own shot at works by artists from Dali to Magritte. This collection of original paintings and their contemporary counterparts has now taken the form of a book released through Chronicle Books titled Remake: Master Works of Art Reimagined."

Cassandra Yap Illustrations

August 06, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Illustration, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2015

Fuelled by her love of pin ups, the female form and an unhealthy obsession with vintage erotica, her photomontage halftone style images are dark, bold and humorous with a kinky edge." via Print Club London

Lexus Hoverboard

August 05, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Motioncollector, TOP 2015, 2015

Just as promised, Lexus come through with a full and final reveal of its highly-anticipated hoverboard. The board has been in development for 18 months, as Lexus — alongside a team of scientists from IFW Dresden and evico GmbH — have recently concluded a successful testing stage in Barcelona, courtesy of pro skateboarder and hoverboard test rider Ross McGouran.

The Lexus Hoverboard features two “cryostats,” reservoirs in which superconducting material is kept at -197 degrees through immersion in liquid nitrogen. Permanent magnets then rest underneath the board, as Dr. Oliver de Haas, evico CEO, says, “The magnetic field from the track is effectively ‘frozen’ into the superconductors in the board, maintaining the distance between the board and the track—essentially keeping the board hovering. This force is strong enough to allow the rider to stand and even jump on the board.”

From a Scratch to a Masterpiece by Nathan Walsh

August 04, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2015

"Starting with his own photographic references, Walsh first draws an elaborate blueprint of sorts by establishing a horizon line and a host of perspective strategies that varies from piece to piece. This is followed by several months of painting with oils to achieve the final landscape that appears to be a strange hybrid of both illustrative and photorealistic styles. " via Colossal
