"EXTRA SHOT" #1 link This Church Finally Means Business :) We like this on so many levels... First, there is pretty cool gothic church structure to begin with; second - it's obviously pacifist, with "spread mercy, not war" idea. Third, it has the anti-"organized religion" connotations: do not force your beliefs on anybody. Behold, "Church Tank" by Kris Kuksi: (artwork copyright: Kris Kuksi, used by permission) If you have not seen phantasmagoric creations of Kris Kuksi before, you're in for a treat. Check out his page (some images are dark and may be nsfw) --------- The idea to combine tank with some kind of an altar seem to have occurred to various people. The folks at Blue Table Painting, led by Insidious created this conversion of Land Raider for Warhammer game. The same idea's occurred to Wim Delvoye here, though it's a digger, not a tank: (art by Wim Delvoye) --------- Technological Forest Here is another cool sculpture we've seen recently: "Real Life Katamari" by Nancy Rubins - Don't know what's "Katamari"? Watch this video to discover: url Nancy Rubins is also responsible for these installations (mostly in Los Angeles): "Airplane Parts" "Pleasure Point" - katamari accumulation of canoes and boats. "Small Forest" (image credit: Nancy Rubins) Permanent Link... Category: Art Related Posts: Controversial Cyberpunk Art Dark Roasted Blend's Photography Gear Picks: |

It's really tell about the very old mariage of religion with war. Always walked hand in hand for thousand of years.
And they are still walking hand in hand richard.
The Land Raider is from the "Warhammer 40000" Sci-Fi gaming system (or WH40K for short). "Warhammer" is a fantasy gaming system.
The theme song for this page should be "Onward Christian Soldiers".
