Portrait by Joe Black You won’t believe what this portrait was made from.  Do you see it now?  How about now? Yes, that’s right.  It’s army men toys! They remind me of little pixels.  Made in China is a recent piece by artist Joe Black depicting a portrait of Chinese soldier by photographer Robert Capa that appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine in 1938.  [Via source]

1%: Human Stupidity and Arrogance

We’re not as smart as we think we are, a wonderful viewpoint on the reality that is the human race.

Perception of Perfection People always like to blame retouching alone for the fallacy that is perfection. The reality is that it has more to do with makeup, lighting, hair, and wardrobe than it does with a final polish at the end (retouching).  These images of coveted Victoria’s Secret models shows how the ‘after’ is far from the before.  My point here is that these girls are beautiful without any of that, and everyone deserves to feel the same. So don’t hold the images you see in public as a realistic expectations, because underneath it all, they often look much different than you are thinking and closer to me and you.  Thanks to my friend Mike for the find!
