    Kids are always decorating their clothes, whether it's drawing on Vans, or, in the 80s, sticking Gummy Bears on their shirts, to complement the blood spilled from getting punched by kids who draw on Vans. For a guy whose tinkering's taken on a hellacious bent, check out custom hats from HellBilly Delux.

The 14 Funniest Police Composite Sketches (PICTURES) - 0 views

  • "Police are looking for a.... Umm... Me tonight."
  •  
    We know eye witnesses aren't always reliable, but police composite sketches almost never really look like the perpetrator. Remember the Unabomber? He looked nothing like the stylish, mustachioed, aviator-wearing hoodlum he was made out to be. All kidding aside, these are some of the worst police sketches we have ever seen. Whether they look like they were drawn by a third-grader or one of the guys in Times Square who does the big-headed caricatures, if anyone should be arrested, it's the artist responsible.

Amazing Sand Painting - 3 views

    Dont dare to miss this amazing Video Clip . . first read it properly.. This video shows the winner of "Ukraine's Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch. The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000. She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated. It is replaced by a woman's face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman's face appears. She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier. This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house. In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye. The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million. Kseniya Simonova says: "I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there's surely no bigger compliment."

    This is so amazing - a rare and wonderful talent! Reminds me of Stravinsky's L'histoire du soldat, which is a chamber ballet from the same period; but, this version is so similar - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jhOIDmtCcs - you'll love this!

    that's really cool! wondering how they did the illustrations--stop action animation? I don't know why, but it sorta reminds me of this... http://ablestmage.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/1958-era-disney-predicts-transportations-future

Haptic Technology Merges with 3D Modelling for Protoypes - 0 views

  • Industrial design modelling, used to make prototypes of home appliances or mock-ups of car parts, could soon make the leap from the world of plaster, plastic and sticky tape into the digital domain thanks to an augmented reality design system developed in Europe. function google_ad_request_done(google_ads) { if (google_ads.length < 1 ) return; document.write("< google_ads.length; ++i) { document.write(" google_ad_client = "pub-8430344808469242"; google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.azom.com/images/spacer.gif"; google_ad_channel = "8293186506"; google_ad_output = "js"; google_max_num_ads = 6; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_color_line = "330000"; google_feedback = 'on'; The system, developed by a team of researchers from six EU countries, merges touch-sensitive haptic technology with 3D digital modelling and computer-aided design (CAD) to allow professional designers to feel and shape their creations physically and virtually. Implemented commercially, the system promises to save companies time and money, raise designers' productivity and improve the quality of new products.
  • "Haptics is far from a mature technology, and this project was one of the first to build a haptic system for industrial designers," Bordegoni notes. The multimodal and multisensory SATIN system consists of two FCS-HapticMASTER devices, in essence robotic arms more commonly used for remote welding or dental surgery, which position and rotate a robotic spline, an electronic version of the flexible strip of material, typically wood or metal, long used by designers to draw curves. Fitted with actuators and sensors, the spline automatically twists and bends to the shape of a digital representation of the product uploaded by the designer into the system.
