  • They didn't really think the first concept through (in pic1). The pillars... It appears the train is completely attached around the rails. So how do they attach those pillars?
    Read more

  • Would I ditch my car? Hell No.
    Read more

  • Yes, train on the 1st picture looks great! It's such an interesting idea! Though I also don't have idea how the train will be attached, I saw such pictures only in fantastic movies, but I believe this is possible.
    Read more

  • I love the prerequisite condutor's hat on #1. Good observation about the suppports! However I suspect it is assymetric; have a look at any ski gondola/chair lift or aerial tramway.
    Read more

  • Hmmm, I used to ride in a driverless bus that looked very much like the ULTra when I was commuting from Rotterdam to Cappelle a/d IJssel way back in 2000-2002...
    Read more

  • Interesting post. I love that old 50's style rendering at the top.
    Read more

  • Would that be innovative enough?

    http://www.sugre.info/docs/original/sugre_mobil_1700x640_rgb.jpg


    or is the condition, that it is too weird to be roadworthy...
    Read more

  • How beautiful. I truly believe that these eggs surpass the glitz of the Faberge style - in part because of the translucent whiteness of the eggshell.
    Read more

  • I forgot to mention that this effect (though not in such delicate detail) can also be created using beeswax as a caustic (masking the areas you want to keep solid) and then leaving the egg in vinegar, which corrodes the shell. The shell becomes very then and you can essentially scrape it away with a finely pointed knife...
    Read more

  • It's Beautiful!! It's impressive!!Great...A lot of time I dont see a work/art as beautiful as your Eggs!!! Sorry, my English it's bad because I'm Brasilian!! But your work is Great!!! Where are you from???
    Read more

  • Ligia,
    Glad you like it! We are based in Canada.
    Read more

  • Absolutely exquisite. I'm Ukrainian on my mother's side. These works of art remind me of the painstaking traditional egg-decorating engaged in by that community. A fiddly business involving layers of color & melted beeswax to cover the areas one didn't wish to dye.
    Read more

  • What kind of animal is that between the meerkat and the ermine?
    Read more

  • Looks like a wombat to me. Also, being rather pedantic, 'ermine' isn't a name of an animal. It's a word for the white winter coat of the stoat, a very mysterious and little understood animal indeed.
    Read more

  • Its a tree kangaroo. They live in the forests of Australia and New Guinea, and they are soooo cute
    Read more

  • yeah that's a tree kangaroo alright. they're a kangaroo that...um, lives in trees. they're like a possum on steroids.

    and i don't mean an opossum, i mean a possum
    Read more

  • How about the German WWII Schwimmwagen?

  • this is much better then all those

  • He's not despondent. He's just trying to get some cardio in before sun down. (Kangaroos are excellent swimmers.)
    Read more

  • I think the onion and the frankfurter make it clear that the mystery sign means "no grilling"
    Read more

  • Got another one for ya here.
    Read more

  • A-Style seems to be quite a big clothing brand in Italy. I have a pair of cotton/lycra trunks made by them, which have "BASTARD ITALIAN STYLE" written across the arse.
    Read more

  • Now this is so freeking funny I feel the new to steal this post and tell everybody is my own!
    Read more

  • Always cool to recognize some street art from the place where i live
