These Cool Mind-Bending Drawings Only Reveal Themselves By Their Reflections

Typically when you look at cool drawings or a piece of art, all is there for you to see. You only need your eyes and nothing else. With István Orosz’s artwork, you need a cylindrical mirror in order to see the art transform. It’s almost like a surprise not knowing what you’re going to see. He is a Hungarian artist and is well known for this type of anamorphic art. Upon graduating from the University of Arts and Design in Budapest in 1975, he became involved with theater as well as stage design. He goes by the pseudonym “Outis” or “Utisz” meaning “No One.” This is similar

Artist Creates Underwater Museum By Placing Giant Sculptures On The Ocean Floor

Unlike most artists, Jason deCaires Taylor‘s art is not on display in a clean contemporary building, it’s actually at the bottom of the ocean 30 feet down to be exact, in Cancun, Mexico. The Cancun Underwater Museum holds about 400 sculptures used from materials that encourage coral growth and form a new home for a variety of aquatic creatures. Taylor began the project back in 2009 and is far from being done with it, but what he has so far is beyond incredible. It takes about 20 minutes to view the entire underwater museum from a glass-bottom boat, but if you really want

Guy Spends 6 Months Recreating A Van Gogh Painting Using Plants In A 1.2-Acre Field

Can you imagine seeing a Van Gogh painting sitting right off the freeway on your morning commute or aerial ride? One field in Eagan, Minnesota got exactly this when the 67-year-old artist, Stan Herd, transformed it into Van Gogh’s 1889 “Olive Trees.” Herd has been doing similar types of artwork or ‘earthworks’ since 1981. “I realized in my late 20s that to create my monumental earthworks, beyond the design and actual creation of the work, I had to develop skills in public relations, communications, media relations, logistics, and fundraising,” said Herd on his website. His most recent project took six

Guy Builds Giants From Wood And Hides Them In The Wilderness For People To Find

Danish artist Thomas Dambo creates larger-than-life sculptures hidden around his hometown of Copenhagen. His sculptures require secret poems and clues in order to locate them. He says each has its own treasure map or poem engraved into stone to steer people onto unfamiliar paths where they’ll discover them. Each is made of recycled wood consisting of roughly 600 pieces taken from pallets, fences, and even an old wooden shed. With the help of local volunteers, Dambo was able to complete his series of giant wooden sculptures. Little Tilde Thomas On The Mountain Oscar Under The Bridge Hilltop Trine Sleeping Louis

If We Drew Modern Animals The Way We Draw Dinosaurs, Based On Bones Alone

When we see illustrations of dinosaurs done by Paleoartists in books the skeletal reconstructions are what many artists depend on when trying to draw dinosaurs. But what happens when you try to apply that to modern-day animals? Artist C.M. Kosemen, in his book All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals, illustrated present-day animals based solely on their skeletons. In an interview with Atlas Obscura, Kosemen said, “We were both dinosaur geeks, but the more we looked at these skeletons, and the more we looked at the pictures, we noticed that most mainstream dinosaur art didn’t look at dinosaurs as real
