Have you ever played “ The Last of Us ”? Such an amazing game! it is often praised for its brilliant writing and acting (less so about it's gameplay loop, even though if you play the ‘remake’, it's improved immensely). Anyway, one of the main reasons this game is so good is because of its atmosphere. There is something so beautiful in walking the the ruins of a civilization after it has been reclaimed by nature . It is eerie and sad but strangely hopeful at the same time. By the way the “ICO” T…

I wonder how many signs I see on an average day. They are everywhere! From giant billboards telling me what I should buy to tiny leaflets asking me if I want guitar lessons to just plain, boring signs telling me to slow down or where the exit is located. We don't really think about it, but I bet we read the equivalent of an average book chapter just while walking down the street. But every now and then, we come across a sign that just makes us stop in our tracks. A sign so baffling, all we can…

Mark Twain once said, "There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope." I must say I agree with him; no artist starts from scratch . Every great piece of art is inspired by all the art that came before it. You stare at a blank canvas or a blank page and think of all the art that has inspired you in the past—and you go from there, trying to invoke the same feeling you yourself got from a different piece of…

Not to throw shade on any painter that lived during the middle ages but I don't think any of them ever seen a cat in real life. It's either that or this was all an elaborate inside joke that only medieval people got. One day all painters got together and said “Wouldn't it be hisssterical if all of us insert weird looking cats into our paintings? like, keep the rest of the painting looking good, but draw just the cat as if you're a ten year old with his first box of crayons”. Well, all the cats…

When @katrinkanova posted some photos of the Freeport McDonald's, which, according to her, looks like a funeral home from the outside and a retirement home from the inside, She couldn't expect the slew of replies she received from people all over the world, Sharing the strange and unique McDonalds they encountered while traveling or just while walking down the street from where they live. At Taupo, New Zealand, for example, there is a McDonald's inside of an old plane while in Cambridgeshire in…

How well do you know your Marvel superheroes ? Do you know their real names, their powers and their weaknesses? That's cute. Do you know every character's backstory and the names of their parents? That's nice. Do you know their alternate reality version and can tell us in what comic book they made their first appearance? Pretty impressive! But what about their anatomy? Huh? Do you know Namor the Submariner on a cellular level? Have you ever seen Groot's vocal chords or Howard the Duck's skull?…

Don't you find it strange that we don't have a “look” these days? If we look back exactly 100 years, to the roaring 20s, fashion had a certain look to it; you could identify that people are from the 1920s just from the way they dressed. Same for the 1940s and 50s, the 60s, 70s. 80s and 90s. But it feels like ever since the new millennium arrived, people just dress… “normal”, whatever that means.

But then someone like Tom Bob walks by, and he sees something else entirely. With his unique vision and creative spark, he transforms these mundane objects into extraordinary works of art that bring a touch of magic to the everyday. Tom Bob specializes in turning the ordinary into the whimsical , breath…

Social media is a lie, and we have the pictures to prove it!
