The Art of Noodles: Reservoir Dogs

I’ve posted art from Chris Morkaut, also known as Noodles, in the past. He’s truly got a gift for illustration, as you can see from the incredibly detailed Reservoir Dogs piece below.

We’ve actually been talking to Chris about a collaborative project for the past several weeks. Unfortunately, that’s been hampered by the storm that knocked us out and by ongoing issues with our web mail server over the past few days. (We owe you an apology, Chris.)

Expect to see more of his work here in the coming weeks – maybe even with the chance to buy prints of his pieces in poster form if there’s enough interest.

That stock is now worth somewhere in the range of $200 million thanks to the IPO that the company announced yesterday. That’s not too bad considering that Choe thought the concept of Facebook was “ridiculous and pointless” at first. Lucky bastard, this guy.

His Flickr stream is full of all kinds of awesome stuff. It’s definitely worth a look.

Potato Head Dictators

Artist Stephen Ives thought it would be fun to turn some of history’s most notorious dictators into Mr. Potato Head style toys, so that’s exactly what he’s gone and done. Awesome.

Dennis Maitland, Daredevil Photographer

Dennis Maitland is a photographer from Detroit, Michigan. One of his favorite things to do is climbing old buildings so that he can take photos of his legs danging over their sides.

The results, as you can see in the shot below, are both awesome and terrifying.
