This is the “Victorian Organ Command Desk” that Bruce commissioned. It’s made from bits and pieces of Victorian detritus that Bruce had collected including the carcass of a 19th century pump organ.

All of the major components are in fact authentic Victorian antiques, period reproductions, or salvaged items.  You’ll note the organ pipes mounted on the wall behind the console. Yes they are indeed upside down, but that’s OK because they were never functional. Apparently it was common for chapel organ installations to have fancy but non-functional pipes prominently mounted in the church while the actual functional, and less beautiful, pipes were hidden away.

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.”

Some amazing artwork out of imagination on some of the most delicious food.Can you believe your eyes? If these photo art comes alive in real world, all of us would jump into them, enjoying the tastier food anyhow.

This amazing piece of artwork on the food was created by Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida. This mind blowing concept will be on display at Biarritz which is in France from Oct 6th to Oct 24th and in Mérignac from Oct 30th till Nov 28th.

The couple try to present some sort of a micro universe made out of  some of the most delicious food, a beautiful Toy Story, Candy Land and engaged in very extraordinary work. The project started in 2002 and since then the series of the story has grown over 60 beautiful images. You will certainly enjoy the beauty of the concept.
