Thomas Scott Kuebler: Amazing, Astounding, Absolutely Alive
Posted on 03.15.07 by Widge @ 9:59 pm

A long-time creature creator and robotics animator, Tom Kuebler now concentrates on making life-size sculptures of freaky looking types as well as more famous creatures like Frankenstein's Monster. It's kinda like what would have happened if Maxwell Gaines had been the one to create Madame Tussauds.

Benedict Radcliffe: Car With the Worst Safety Record Ever
Posted on 03.13.07 by Widge @ 12:50 am

Benedict Radcliffe's wire car

Okay, well, no--not really. It's a full-sized wire frame sculpture of a car. And while Winding Road talks about it being Wonder Woman's Wondermobile, forget that--Automan, anyone?

Update: Link is dead. Find more info here instead.

Rosemarie Fiore: Retro Arcade Art
Posted on 02.17.07 by Widge @ 3:21 pm

Rosemarie Fiore takes time lapse photos of vintage arcade games. That one pictured is Gyruss. How many folks even remember Gyruss? Anyway, not only are they pretty damn cool, but they kinda remind me of that three hour long psychedelic sequence in the middle of 2001.

Hello Kitty Tarot: Awww, The Tower's So Cute
Posted on 02.03.07 by Widge @ 5:03 am

Well, anything that can possibly have Hello Kitty on it has had Hello Kitty on it. Even, apparently, the tarot. Yes, it's an entire deck with Hello Kitty characters. Sadly, I couldn't actually find a picture of the Tower, although we can assume that even the ultimate symbol of destruction and change is cute because, well, it's freaking Hello Kitty.

This is also out of print and going for eBay right now for $200. So. Sorry, Din.
