Self-proclaimed King of Jelly Bean Art, Peter Rocha and his talented nephew Roger create impressive mosaics using thousands of colored jelly-beans.

The two Rochas spend up to six months creating the sweet masterpieces, understandable since they use around 10,000 different types of jelly beans. Throughout their artistic careers, the artistic duo have created over 75 jelly-bean mosaics, commissioned by the Jelly Belly Candy Company.

Recently, Roger Rocha showcased a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at the time of her coronation, in 1952, made from 10,000 jellybeans. The 4-foot-high artwork is now on display at Fizziwig’s Sweet Emporium in Brighton, UK.

Going through a recent paper craft exhibition in Tokyo, simply called ‘Castle on the Ocean’ exhibition, one thing that couldn’t escape an attendee’s attention is a piece of work by a Japanese paper craft genius going by the name Wataru Itou. From the piece of work – a complete city, with all the trappings like a electrical lights and even a train one would be forgiven for thinking the creator is someone who has been in paper craft for decades.

Yet as it turns out, Itou is but ‘just’ a student of art at one of Tokyo’s university. Obviously, there lies a very promising student. Words alone cannot exactly capture the intensity of Itou’s creation. But looking at it, one is left wondering whether paper craft could ever get any better, or whether Itou’s work isn’t really as good as it can get; in other words ‘the ultimate.’ Thanks to Robert Svard.

The name for the exhibition, where Itou can be seen in action, that is ‘castle in the ocean’ is not one reached by guesswork. Turns out that the location of the exhibition ‘Omihotaru’ is one of the top tourist traps in Tokyo: this being a place reclaimed right out of the ocean, a fact you cannot guess from the bustle of activity on top of it. By reclaimed, the implication is not that the place was filled up, dug up or anything. It is a part of Tokyo city, built right on top of the ocean. Talk of the modern wonders of the world! Source .

Think you have the bombest sneakers around? Next to these sneakers by junk-metal artist Gabriel Dishaw, your crazy, neon high-tops don’t even compare. Dishaw creates detailed shoe replicas out of metal and electronic scraps, using only glue and bending techniques to hold them together. So far, he’s created five shoe sculptures inspired by some of his favorite kicks, and although you probably wouldn’t want to wear them, they’re the ultimate statement shoe.

Dishaw’s collection is made entirely out of recycled metal, bits of wire, staples, Intel computer chips, and even old typewriters. He even goes so far as to even make each shoe—which comes with a coordinating shoebox—a perfect size 9.5. Weighing in at anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds, these heavy-metal sneaks certainly weren’t designed for comfort, but their eco-factor is high.

“I begin each sculpture with an idea of how can I take these found pieces of useless metal and insignificant objects and create something that everyone can understand and relate to,” Dishaw says. “I find myself looking at ordinary mechanical items to see how I could turn that something, into something else not originally intended for that use.”

We all know that movies are not a latest trend, they are making us laugh, cry, think, amaze and confused since many years.  But you will not regret to the fact that there are some out of many movies which are extra ordinary or you can say they are out of this world.  These are different in there own ways. No matter what you think about these movies, they have something which distinguishes them from other ordinary movies quite easily. Like extra ordinary special effects, excessive use of nuclear weapons and latest technology, alien invasion or sometimes eliminating the existence of all mankind by exposing some deadly viruses or diseases.  Sometimes these movies take you to the natural side by eliminating the existence of this universe either by some earth quake or heavy floods.

In this piece of writing I will let you know some movies that created hype but failed to deliver the goods. Every movie which will be listed in this category is creative and has some extra ordinary features which are outstanding.

As we all know that showing the elimination of all mankind is not an easy task to perform. This can be done either by some natural disaster or some terrifying disease. Apart form these there are many other reasons also.  But you will certainly notice that the reason for the cause is not that much justifying or you can say the reason is not much appealing or incomplete.  But there is a famous saying “There is no room for logic when you are having fun”.

Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague — The Infected — lurk in the shadows… watching Neville’s every move… waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered… and quickly running out of time.
