The shape of snowflakes has been a source of awe and wonder to us ever since we’ve managed to get a close look at them. What has been missing however, is seeing snow flakes in three dimensions before they hit the ground. Thanks to science and University of Utah researchers who developed a high-speed digital camera system, snowflakes can be captured in detail before they hit the ground.
One insanely detailed and amazing project, this is the recreation of the battle of Helm’s Deep from Lord of the Rings. The build by Rich-K and Big J is about 90 percent complete, and manages to look epic even with that tag of being “unfinished.” Setting the scene for the battle, 150,000 bricks have gone to build the walls, towers, ladders and the general landscape, while 1700 minifigs take their roles as elven, human and orc armies engaged in battle.

Grumpy Cat very likely is amongst the biggest celebrities of our time, or maybe even better because we can’t think of many celebrity names who have art projects dedicated for them. Grumpy Cat Art Project features more than 30 artists and is currently on exhibit at Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment complex in Huntsville, Alabama. The medium used by the artists, or even the variety of situations Grumpy Cat appears in is quite varied. What doesn’t change however, is the influence of the star feline.

3D Printers continue to make steady strides towards large scale consumer and retail use. A few months ago, we saw The Cube, the 3D Printer from 3D Systems, as a candidate looking to make 3D printing mainstream. That time has finally arrived, as US based retail chain Staples has added the Cube 3D Printer to its shelves. Staples is the first major retailer to take this step, and we can assume more will follow. Just like one can be fairly certain that more printers will join the Cube in its ranks.
Socks have a nasty habit of running away, most likely on their own, and leaving their owners stupefied as they try to find a pair in vain. Sockskies designed by Shannon Ong seek a solution to the problem with a simple button attached to the upper part of the sock that would keep the pair together, and do that while attempting to look trendy. Now if we could only be disciplined enough to make use of that button. You can help fun/pre-order Sockskies on Kickstarter.
Most of our college/university experience can be summed up with a lot of alcohol. Yet it doesn’t quite get a standing in the formal graduation. Dominique Zamora has corrected the massive wrong with this DIY Graduation Cap Flask, meant only for the eyes of graduates of legal drinking age. Add a flask to the cap, attach with pipe, Profit!! Zamora used the wine rack bra for the raw materials, and probably as an inspiration to create this hat.
This battle that may be philosophically construed to be the battle between the creator and his creations, something that also often comes in play in our modern fiction (think: Tron). UK-based artist Jonny Lawrence finds himself standing against his own creations. In this very Street Fighter like battle of “Maker vs Marker” the animator finds his hand in battle with figures it created itself.
